React Native CLI
Command Line Interface for React Native.
Note: CLI has been extracted from core react-native
as a part of "Lean Core" effort. Please read this blog post for more details.
About
This repository contains tools and helpers for React Native projects in form of a CLI. We want to make a couple of things clear for you first:
- this is a monorepo;
- there are currently two CLIs: the actual one called @react-native-community/cli that does all the job and global
react-native-cli
which is used as its proxy;
We know it's confusing, but we're actively working to make this indirection gone.
Creating a new React Native project
To start a new React Native project, you'll need to install a global module react-native-cli and follow instructions there.
We strongly encourage you to only use global react-native-cli
for bootstrapping new projects. Use local version for everything else.
Usage in existing React Native project
Once you're inside an existing project, a local react-native
binary will be available for you to use. Feel free to use Yarn to call it directly.
Example running start
command in terminal:
yarn react-native start
or if you don't use Yarn:
node ./node_modules/.bin/react-native start
You can also add npm scripts to call it with whichever package manager you use:
{ "scripts": { "start": "react-native start" } }
