This component is fully backwards compatible with the original React ListView, but is compatible with Realm Results and List objects to use their snapshot functionality along with more efficiently checking if each row should update.
React Native now leaves the original object accessible when it "polyfills" objects. So we check for that, but still have the previous logic in place in case they change their minds.
The idea is that we will have an NPM module that should always be required to use the Realm JS API. It will handle the underlying implementation details depending on which environment it is being run in (i.e. JavaScriptCore, Chrome, Node).
The focus here was on stubbing out the machinery required to get React Native Chrome debugging working with the Realm API by leveraging synchronous requests. The app itself will need to run a web server that responds to these requests.
