react-native-localize VS patch-package

Translation isn't really a react native specific issue, the web/react also needs to be able to support this. You shouldn't need anything fancy to translate, but strings would need to be localized via https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-localize or https://github.com/globalizejs/globalize. With regards to translating the library, you can either use https://github.com/ds300/patch-package to localize all the strings for your own use or submit a PR to the library. I am also assuming that you have no flexibility on what text is being displayed when using the libraries' API (ex: headerTitle in react-navigation) because in that case it is related to translating your own app.

In order to allow users to use their device as a controller to adjust the position of the camera and find stars, I use the depreciated DeviceOrientationControls by patching it back into Three. In order for DeviceOrientationControls to function, we need access the user to grant access to their device's orientation. I attempt to gain access to this, alongside their camera, during a previous step of the UX using a custom composable I wrote for this purpose. You can see that permission step in the mockup video above. Once this permission is granted, we can initialize our DeviceOrienationControls with a single line.

If you use Yarn, there’s the `yarn patch` command [1], which lets you maintain patches for your dependencies. Even though I try to upstream patches wherever possible, sometimes you just want to apply a quick patch and move on, especially if the dependency is poorly maintained or even worse, deeply nested in your dependency hierarchy. I use `yarn patch` regularly, it’s one of the main reasons why I moved to Yarn in the first place.

If you’re not using Yarn, there seems to be a similar thing on npm, `patch-package`. [2] I never had to use that though.

You can use patch-package to edit the part of the library.

patch-package

NPM doesn't have a patch command, but you can use patch-package to achieve the same result.

If there's issue ticket discussing it and someone can fix it, ask for patch file and use patch-package to patch it

You can try this (I highly recommend you to use the Patch Package library to track changes on any external library that you are using. (https://www.npmjs.com/package/patch-package)
