[maoguy]

I think I've made a preliminary discovery of what caused this anomaly.

This looks like an exception caused by the npm pack -- uuid.

I tried to solve the problem

At present, I have solved the problem with the following methods.

Firstly, download the source code of @chainlit/client v0.1.2 (which in github repo tag:chainlit-1.1.306);

Secondly, put the source code into the react-native project code;

Thirdly,change the import alias etc...In order to import the source code just like my project code;

Fourth,change useChatInteract.ts and state.ts with the following methods

Endly,import the module and use them.

I will continue to monitor this issue and its solution, and keep active updates on ichigo-ichie😄

To use Chainlit in a React Native app, you might encounter compatibility issues with certain packages like uuid. Here's a general approach to address these issues:

1. Identify the Problematic Package: As you've discovered, the uuid package can cause issues in React Native environments.

2. Workaround: You can manually integrate the source code of the @chainlit/react-client package into your project, as you've done. This involves:

   • Downloading the source code of the specific version you need.
   • Integrating it into your React Native project.
   • Adjusting import paths and aliases to fit your project structure.
   • Modifying specific files like useChatInteract.ts and state.ts to resolve compatibility issues.

3. Monitor and Update: Keep an eye on updates or fixes from the Chainlit repository or community that might address these compatibility issues more elegantly in the future.

For the issue title, consider something more descriptive like: "Compatibility Issues with @chainlit/react-client in React Native due to uuid Package".
