Does/will exponent allow linking (i.e. 'react-native link')
See original GitHub issueI love the quick setup time and configuration of exponent, but I’m hesitant to jump in without the ability to link libraries. I see in the docs that you can use ExponentKit to ‘detach’ an app, but I’m wondering if it’s possible to do basic linking without that. Many modules respond to react-native link, allowing for things like built-in fonts (I’m not a fan of async fonts) and other native functionality. Is it possible to do this somehow, or is ‘detaching’ the way?

Ah, bummer. I understand how that makes things more standardized, but it’s like telling someone “we’ll help you build your house faster, you just can’t use these brands of doors or windows”.
react-native linkis becoming a pretty standard way to connect libraries, so consider this a feature request 😃Good point about the binary, I didn’t think of that. In that case, maybe it would be helpful to have a list of “exponent-safe” or “exponent-recommended” packages, perhaps searchable/installable via the XDE? I don’t know, you guys are doing a great job and it seems like it’s just a technical limitation that we have to live with.
