Ever wondered what really happens when you render something through a portal in React Native?

In my talk The Illusion of Portals in React Native at App.js Conf, we look beyond the familiar Portal API to understand how different implementations actually work, how they affect the React tree, and what a true portal should look like internally — from the illusion created at the React layer to native portals, view re-parenting, and the new possibilities they unlock.

Step through the portal and join me for the ride!

I'm excited to announce the first stable release of react-native-teleport! 🎉

After extensive development, community feedback and integrating the lib into many prod apps, we've reached a big milestone: a production-ready portal solution that brings true native portals to react-native — something the framework has been missing for years.
