Support for Multiple Haptic Feedback Libraries

[huextrat]

Overview

Currently, react-native-sortables only supports haptic feedback through react-native-haptic-feedback. We should add support for expo-haptics to give users more flexibility in choosing their preferred haptic feedback library.

Motivation

• Some users are already using Expo and have expo-haptics in their dependencies
• Having to add react-native-haptic-feedback just for sortables when already using expo-haptics creates unnecessary bloat
• Different projects may have different preferences or requirements for haptic feedback implementation

And thank you for this great lib! If I have some free time in the coming days, I may try to make a PR

Hey!

Thanks for your feedback. There is a built-in support for the react-native-haptic-feedback, that means, it works out of the box when installed and doesn't require any manual configuration. You just need to pass the hapticsEnabled prop to make it work.

It doesn't prevent you from using other libraries, like expo-haptics but it would require writing a bit more code. You would have to trigger haptics manually, when callbacks are called.

I was trying to add out-of-the-box support for expo-haptics but I wanted it to trigger haptics from the UI thread instead of the JS thread and I was struggling to get the native haptics trigger method call working.

Here is a PR in which I made an attempt to add expo-haptics support.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I understand better now, since I'm already using expo-haptics in other parts of my app, I'll stick with it and handle the haptics manually through the callbacks.

I've also encountered similar challenges with expo-haptics running on the UI thread in other contexts. Since there's already been an attempt to add native expo-haptics support, we can close this issue.

Thanks again for clarifying! 👍
