should RemoteMongoCollection.watch work when using MongoDB Stitch React Native SDK?

[hayate]

In the documentation here: https://docs.mongodb.com/stitch-sdks/js-react-native/4/classes/stream.html it says that it is possible to watch to a remote MongoDB for changes using a call to RemoteMongoCollection.watch

I was trying the functionality but the watch method is undefined, in fact, I don't see it here https://docs.mongodb.com/stitch-sdks/js-react-native/4/interfaces/remotemongocollection.html or here https://github.com/mongodb/stitch-js-sdk/blob/master/packages/react-native/services/mongodb-remote/src/RemoteMongoCollection.ts

Is the watch method not available for Stitch React Native SDK?
Is there a way to watch for changes from a remote MongoDB Atlas using Stitch in react-native?

React Native SDK is way behind... It doesn't has custom user data too.

It seems to me that we have to wait for React Native 0.62

@tDuy is correct. We will not be able to support watching change streams in the React Native SDK until React Native 0.62 is released. Sometime after that happens, I will create a React Native EventSource library using the newly exposed network primitives in 0.62, and we will update the Stitch React Native SDK to support watching change streams.

Hey everyone, we've just released experimental watch support for React Native! See https://github.com/mongodb/stitch-js-sdk/releases/tag/v4.9.0 for details on how you can use it. We can release this non-experimentally once React Native 0.62 is officially released.

If you have any problems with it, feel free to open a new issue!
