Creating your own React Native platform

Right now the process of creating a React Native platform from scratch is not very well documented - one of the goals of the upcoming re-architecture (Fabric) is to make maintaining a platform easier.

Bundling

As of React Native 0.57 you can now register your React Native platform with React Native's JavaScript bundler, Metro. This means you can pass --platform example to npx react-native bundle, and it will look for JavaScript files with the .example.js suffix.

To register your platform with RNPM, your module's name must match one of these patterns:

You must also have an entry in your package.json like this:

json

{
  "rnpm": {
    "haste": {
      "providesModuleNodeModules": ["react-native-example"],
      "platforms": ["example"]
    }
  }
}

"providesModuleNodeModules" is an array of modules that will get added to the Haste module search path, and "platforms" is an array of platform suffixes that will be added as valid platforms.
