The universal development SDK to build multi-platform projects with react native. Includes latest iOS, tvOS, Android, Android TV, Web, Tizen TV, Tizen Watch, LG webOS, macOS/OSX, Windows, KaiOS, Firefox OS and Firefox TV platforms

Ideal starting point for advanced multi-platform projects.
Uses latest vanilla native project templates including Xcode with Swift and Android with Kotlin support
Includes bleeding edge dependencies configured to work with each other

🚀 Quick Start

1) Install ReNative

$ npm install renative@latest -g

2) Create new app:

$ rnv app create

Follow steps in the terminal

3) Create 3 separate terminal tabs/windows. use one to keep bundler running and other one for build commands

TAB 1:

Start the bundler

$ rnv start

TAB 2:

Run your first ios app

$ rnv run -p ios

TAB 3:

Run your first web app

$ rnv run -p web

open: http://0.0.0.0:8080/

🎉 Congratulations! You're now multi-platform developer! 🎉

All app code is located in ./src directory

Features:

Development platforms

Requirements

Node 10.13.0 or newer
NPM 6.4.1 or newer
Android Studio (if you want to develop for Android)
Xcode (if you want to develop for iOS/tvOS)
Tizen Studio (if you want to develop for Tizen)
WebOS SDK (if you want to develop for WebOS)
KaiOS SDK (if you want to develop for KaiOS)

Advanced Configuration

Reset options

ReNativeAllows you to perform reset commands if you facing unforeseen problems or migrating ReNativeversions

Reset Metro Bundler cache

rnv start -r

Reset specific platform of platformBuild project (fully recreate project based on provided template)

rnv run -p <PLATFORM> -r
rnv app configure -p <PLATFORM> -r

Reset all platforms of platformBuild project (fully recreate projects based on provided template)

rnv app configure -r

Global Configurations

rnv will create config folder at this location: ~/.rnv/config.json

Open the file and edit SDK paths of platforms you plan to use:

{
    "sdks": {
        "ANDROID_SDK": "/Users/<USER>/Library/Android/sdk",
        "ANDROID_NDK": "/Users/<USER>/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle",
        "IOS_SDK": "No need. Just install Xcode",
        "TIZEN_SDK": "/Users/<USER>/tizen-studio",
        "WEBOS_SDK": "/Users/<USER>/Library/webOS_TV_SDK",
        "KAIOS_SDK": "/Applications/Kaiosrt.app"
    }
}

You can also edit your preferred emulator targets (allows you to run rnv target launch -p <PLATFORM> without -p <TARGET>)

{
    "defaultTargets": {
        "android": "Nexus_5X_API_26",
        "androidtv": "Android_TV_720p_API_22",
        "androidwear": "Android_Wear_Round_API_28",
        "ios": "iPhone 6",
        "tvos": "Apple TV 4K",
        "tizen": "T-samsung-5.0-x86",
        "tizenwatch": "W-5.0-circle-x86",
        "webos": "emulator"
    }
}

App Configurations

Re-Generate platform projects (for helloWorld app config platforms):

rnv platform configure -c helloWorld

Configure your multi-platform app based on ./appConfigs/helloWorld configuration:

rnv app configure -c helloWorld -u

App Signing

For Android release signing, create ~/.rnv/helloWorld/signing.properties file with path to your release keystore file and its credentials.

STORE_FILE=~/.rnv/helloWorld/release.keystore
STORE_PASSWORD= ************
KEY_ALIAS= ************
KEY_PASSWORD= ************

Then you can run the release app by:

rnv app configure -p android
rnv run -p android -s release

Build Flavours

You can configure different app ID, Title etc. with buildScheme field in you appConfig file.

Example:

"buildSchemes": {
  "debug": {
    "id": "renative.helloworld.debug",
    "runScheme": "Debug",
    "bundleAssets": false,
    "bundleIsDev": true
  },
  "release": {
    "id": "renative.helloworld.release",
    "runScheme": "Release",
    "bundleAssets": true,
    "bundleIsDev": false
  }
}

this will allow you to build 2 separate iOS apps with slightly different configurations:

rnv run -p ios -s debug (-s debug is DEFAULT option so you don't have to add it every time)

and

rnv run -p ios -s release

Build Flavour Injectors

Sometimes you need to add buildFlavour specific file into project before build. ie Firebase, Crashlytics configs and so on

you can achieve by creating folder with postfix <PLATFORM>@<BUILD_SCHEME_NAME>

.
├── appConfigs
    └── helloWorld
        ├── assets
        └── builds
            ├── android@release
            │   └── fileToBeInjectedInReleaseMode.txt
            └── android@debug
                └── fileToBeInjectedInDebugMode.txt

Plugins

ReNativeSupports standard community driven react-native plugins you can use to enhance the functionality of your apps:

Get list of all available community plugins. (NOTE you can always add new one manually into projectConfig/plugins.json)

rnv plugin list

you should get colorised overview similar to this:

add new plugin to your project:

rnv plugin add

and follow the command prompt steps

Update your current plugins with latest ones from ReNative

rnv plugin update

and follow the command prompt steps

Custom Plugin Support

You can configure multiple React Native plugins without need to update project blueprints. default location of plugin configs is ./projectConfig/plugins.json

Example:

{
    "plugins": {
        "react-native-gesture-handler": {
            "version": "0.1.0",
            "ios": {
                "podName": "RNGestureHandler",
                "path": "node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler"
            },
            "android": {
                "package": "com.swmansion.gesturehandler.react.RNGestureHandlerPackage",
                "path": "node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler/android"
            }
        }
    }
}

Custom appConfig Location per Project

For decoupled project you might need to point to custom appConfig location per project. because that location might be different for each developer you can create rnv-config.local.json in your project root (git ignored by default) which points to your local appConfig folder.

Contents of the file should follow this format:

{
    "appConfigsPath": "/Users/<USER>/my-local-app-config-folder"
}

Ejecting Platforms

By default, ReNativecontrols platformTemplates for you. Advantage is that you don't need to maintain them and will get all the updates automatically. If however you need to customise them you can eject them directly into your project.

rnv platform eject

your projects will be build using ./platformTemplates from this point

If you want to revert back to using ReNativetemplates simply run

rnv platform connect

your projects will be build using ./node_modules/renative/rnv-cli/platformTemplates from this point

Build Hooks

Sometimes you need to extend CLI functionality with custom build scripts. ReNativemakes this easy for you.

create file: ./buildHooks/src/index.js with this script (NOTE: every top-level method must return Promise):

import chalk from 'chalk';

const hooks = {
    hello: c =>
        new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            console.log(`\n${chalk.yellow('HELLO FROM BUILD HOOKS!')}\n`);
            resolve();
        }),
};

const pipes = {};

export { pipes, hooks };

then simply run:

rnv hooks run -x hello

ReNativewill transpile and execute it in real time!

index.js is required entry point but you can create more complex scripts with multiple files/imports.

every top-level method gets invoked with ReNativeconfig object containing all necessary build information

Build Pipes

Sometimes you want to execute specific hook automatically before/after certain ReNativebuild phase.

To get list of available hook pipes run:

rnv hooks pipes

You can connect your hook method to one of predefined pipes in your ./buildHooks/src/index.js:

const pipes = {
    'app:configure:before': hooks.hello,
};

Example code above will execute hooks.hello() before every time you run rnv app configure commands

Run Multiple Pipes on One Hook

const pipes = {
    'app:configure:before': [hooks.hello, hooks.someOtherHook],
};

List of available pipe hooks:

'run:before', 'run:after',
'log:before', 'log:after',
'start:before', 'start:after',
'package:before', 'package:after',
'package:before', 'package:after',
'build:before', 'build:after',
'deploy:before', 'deploy:after',
'app:configure:before', 'app:configure:after',
'platform:configure:before', 'platform:configure:after'

List of available config props injected into hooks methods:

Developing ReNativeLocally

If you need full control over whole ReNativebuild you can clone and develop it locally

1) clone [email protected]:pavjacko/renative.git
2) cd renative
3) npm i
4) npm run watch
5) npm link

At this point your global $ rnv command is linked directly into project above.

It's also best way to contribute back to RNV! :)
