[Feature] Support Web

[natew]

Just wanted to start a discussion as I didn't see anything here with a few quick searches.

Our main use case would be to bridge between web and android apps. We're using expo's web support.

We don't support RN web/react-native-for-web/expo for web. It would be possible but that would be a reimplementation of RNMGL react api over mapbox-gl-js. I think this could be done as a separate library/project too.

I'm not aware of any plans regarding this. As always we're happy to accept contributions.

I'm closing this to keep issues clean, but feel free to continue the discussion here.

FYI #861

Perhaps there's a way to swap out rnmapbox with mapbox-gl-js when using Expo's web support. Investigating now, since we'd like to create an app for web and mobile using Mapbox.

[mfazekas]

We have minimal proof of concept web support with @rnmapbox/maps v10, we accept contributions to make it more complete.

[localjo]

Interesting! Thanks for the response. I'm using v10, but import MapboxGL from '@rnmapbox/maps' seems to break the app on web. Is there any documentation or PR discussion about this? Do I need to be using a specific branch to try this out?

See #2143 (comment) for instructions how to use it
