FAQ

Why is react-native-camera not listed as a dependency in package.json?

react-native uses metro for dependency resolution. In order to not recursively install this example into the node_modules of this example we use rn-cli.config.js to resolve react-native-camera. This also allows a quicker iteration when developing (without having to yarn install after every single change in react-native-camera).
