# 🧵 react-native-worklets-core A [Worklet](docs/WORKLETS.md) runner for React Native. ```js const worklet = () => { 'worklet' return Math.random() } ``` > [!NOTE] > In most cases, react-native-worklets-core shouldn't be used as a standalone dependency but rather as a peer-dependency for other modules such as [react-native-vision-camera](https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera), [react-native-wishlist](https://github.com/margelo/react-native-wishlist), or [react-native-skia](https://github.com/Shopify/react-native-skia). ## Installation 1. Install the library from npm: ```sh yarn add react-native-worklets-core ``` 2. Add the babel plugin to your `babel.config.js`: ```js module.exports = { plugins: [ ["react-native-worklets-core/plugin"], // ... ], // ... }; ``` 3. Restart Metro with clean cache: ```sh yarn start --reset-cache ``` ## Usage See [USAGE.md](docs/USAGE.md) ## Contributing See the [contributing guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) to learn how to contribute to the repository and the development workflow. ## License MIT ## Credits * Credits go to [Christian Falch](https://github.com/chrfalch) for building the initial version of this library. You're amazing! 🤩 * Credits go to [Software Mansion](https://swmansion.com) for introducing the concept of [Worklets](https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/docs/2.x/fundamentals/worklets/) in [Reanimated v2](https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated). This library is inspired by Reanimated v2 with a few structural changes to the Worklets architecture to make it more flexible for different use-cases, such as integrating it with other C++ libraries like VisionCamera and WishList.
