👷‍♂️ Set of CLIs to scaffold and build React Native libraries for different targets.

Documentation

Documentation is available at https://callstack.github.io/react-native-builder-bob/.

Development workflow

This project uses a monorepo using yarn. To setup the project, run yarn in the root directory to install the required dependencies.

yarn

While developing, you can run watch mode to automatically rebuild the changes:

yarn watch

To test the CLI locally, you can point to the appropriate executable:

../bob/packages/create-react-native-library/bin/create-react-native-library

Before sending a pull request, make sure your code passes TypeScript and ESLint. Run the following to verify:

yarn typecheck
yarn lint

To fix formatting errors, run the following:

yarn lint --fix

The documentation for the project is under docs directory. To run the documentation locally, run the following:

yarn docs dev

Publishing

Maintainers with write access to the GitHub repo and the npm organization can publish new versions. To publish a new version, first, you need to export a GH_TOKEN environment variable as mentioned here. Then run:

yarn lerna publish

This will automatically bump the version and publish the packages. It'll also publish the changelogs on GitHub for each package.

When releasing a pre-release version, we need to:

• Update lerna.json to set the preId (e.g. next) and preDistTag (e.g. next) fields, and potentially the allowBranch field.
• Run the following command:

yarn lerna publish --conventional-commits --conventional-prerelease --preid next

When releasing a stable version, we need to:

• Remove the preId and preDistTag fields from lerna.json.
• Run the following command:

yarn lerna publish --conventional-commits --conventional-graduate

Acknowledgments

Thanks to the authors of these libraries for inspiration:

• create-react-native-module
• react-native-webview
• RNNewArchitectureLibraries

Alternatives

There are other similar tools to scaffold React Native libraries. The difference is that the generated project with create-react-native-library is very opinionated and configured with additional tools.

• react-native-module-init
