Moving the webview brigde to React-Native Core

[alinz]

Hello guys,

I have decided that, it is time to move this project into core. one of the problem with maintaining this project is not be able to extend the native class and as a result I have to copy and paste the entire source code of WebView implementation of react-native. This makes it very difficult. So what I'm asking is goto this link and vote that one. If I get the confirmation from core-team I will make a PR request to WebView and I will merge this project to core.

@alinz it is good idea! But could you check PRs?)

This should be a core functionality for sure, but perhaps a more high level approach (e.g. executing arbitrary JS in the webview) would be more useful. I'm not sure how that would work on iOS, but I do know that would be easy to implement on Android. Writing your own bridging implementation (at least RN to webview) would be trivial if that kind of communication is possible

@goldenice RN's WebView has already implemented run arbitrary JS. what I want to add is the reverse one. WebVIew send a message back to RN. If you look into the implementation of WebView, you will see most of the important classes are inlined and because of that you can't extend it. That's what I want to do in core.

Since I'm still behind and react-native 30 is just around the corner, I will delay this and release the new version of app this weekend. Extremely busy with other stuff but I will find a time this weekend and make it available for you guys.
