#NativeEntryPlugin

Plugin that sets up the React Native entry point for each compilation entry. It adds React Native polyfills, InitializeCore, InitializeScriptManager, and IncludeModules as entry modules processed through the standard loader pipeline. A companion runtime module (PolyfillsRuntimeModule) ensures polyfills execute before Module Federation's startup wrapper, regardless of the federation version or bundler used.

Polyfills are read from React Native's rn-get-polyfills.js when present (React Native 0.86 and earlier). React Native 0.87 removed that file together with its dependency on @react-native/js-polyfills, so the plugin resolves @react-native/js-polyfills from the project instead, falling back through @react-native/metro-config (which still depends on it and is a devDependency of the default template). If neither can be found, the build fails with an error asking you to add a version-matched @react-native/js-polyfills or @react-native/metro-config to your project.

On the React Native 0.87 layout the plugin also prepends two resolve aliases: react-native/Libraries/Image/AssetRegistry maps to the relocated src/asset-registry.js, and react-native/src/private maps to the on-disk directory so first-party deep imports keep resolving when package exports are enabled. Neither alias is added on 0.86 and earlier.

#BabelPlugin

Plugin that adds babel-loader fallback to resolveLoader configuration. This ensures babel-loader can be resolved regardless of the package manager used, as some package managers (like pnpm) require loaders to be direct dependencies rather than allowing them to be resolved through nested dependencies.

#CodegenPlugin

Plugin that handles React Native Codegen transforms required by the new architecture. It adds a babel-loader rule for processing Native components and modules, similar to how it's done in @react-native/babel-preset.
