Is rn-fetch-blob supported by RNW ? (Confusing documentation)

[thedf]

Hey there,

I want to know if the library rn-fetch-blob is yet supported by RNW, because in the Community modules section in the docs it says that this library is already supported but I couldn't find the implementation.

Thanks in advance.

hey @thedf - there is a PR to add Windows support, but the repo owner abandoned the repo. @RonRadtke has forked the repo and integrated the Windows support PR, here: https://github.com/RonRadtke/react-native-blob-util

Thanks alot @asklar !

I am getting these errors when using both the code from the PR or the code from the repo you mentioned. Do you happen to know the source of these errors or how to fix them?

[asklar]

looks like the error screenshot didn't work, can you paste the error text?

There seems to be a problem with my internet and github. here is the text version

[asklar]

please add a #include <windows.h> to your app's pch.h

[thedf]

I do have it already

[asklar]

make sure the module's pch.h has it too

[thedf]

including the library in pch.h of the module fixes the problem. Thanks a lot !
It should probably be added to the original repo and PR so it won't happen to other people.
