Getting Started
#
PrerequisiteMake sure that you have followed the environment setup instructions properly from the official React Native docs.
The installation command will fail if you have the global legacy
react-native-cli
installed in your machine. Make sure you uninstall it first:
yarn global remove react-native-cli
or if using npm
npm uninstall -g react-native-cli
#
InitialisingGenerate a new React Native(v0.69.4) app using the @ajaysidhu/react-native-template:
npx react-native init MyApp --template @ajaysidhu/react-native-template --skip-install
You might also be prompted to confirm the installation for the packages react-native
and husky
. Simply hit enter
to proceed.
The template will automatically install the npm
dependencies and the pods
(if you are on the MacOS).
#
Install from GitHubIf you want to use the template directly from the GitHub
or try out the latest features which are not release to the npm
yet, then you can run:
npx react-native init MyApp --template https://github.com/ajaykumar97/react-native-template.git --skip-install
#
Use Older versionsIf you want to use an older version of the template, then you can run(replace version
with your desired version):
npx react-native init MyApp --template @ajaysidhu/react-native-template@version --skip-install
You can look at all versions, that I have published here.
#
Configure Bundle Ids, App Name and Google Service FilesIf you want to extend the setup further to configure different bundle ids, App Names and Google Service files for Staging and Production environments, you can follow my this Medium post.
#

based your own project needs. You can give it a read here.
