React Native Toolbox

Yeoman generators to kickstart your react-native v0.48+ projects.

⚠️ Deprecation notice ⚠️

Dear user, we are working on a complete rewrite of generator-rn-toolbox
We are be deprecating this repo and migrating its features to react-native-make
Already available:

  • Updated Icons generation with Android adaptive icons
  • Updated SplashScreen generation with iOS .xib files and ready for react-native-splashscreen

Features

In an existing React Native project, our generator contains sub-generators that will help you with:

  • Setup
    • Linting — yo rn-toolbox:lint
    • Base project — yo rn-toolbox:base
    • Advanced project — yo rn-toolbox:advanced-base
    • Jest — yo rn-toolbox:jest
    • Fastlane setup for multiple environments — yo rn-toolbox:fastlane-setup
    • Fastlane environment instantiation — yo rn-toolbox:fastlane-env
    • Icons and Splashscreen generation — yo rn-toolbox:assets [--icon | --splash] <path>
  • Environment
    • Visual Studio Code — yo rn-toolbox:vscode
  • Continuous integration / deployment
    • TravisCI — yo rn-toolbox:travisci
    • Bitrise for continuous deployment — yo rn-toolbox:bitrise
    • CircleCI for continuous deployment — yo rn-toolbox:circleci

Requirements

  • You need node > 6 installed
  • Ruby > 2.2.3
  • Bundler installed (gem install bundler)
  • Yeoman installed (npm i -g yo)
  • Yarn installed (brew install yarn)

Usage

Install the main yeoman generator:

npm install -g yo generator-rn-toolbox

Then follow the docs for any sub-generator listed above in the features.
If starting from scratch, use the react-native init <ProjectName> && cd <ProjectName> command to instantiate your React Native Project (for more go see the official React Native getting started).
It is recommended to initiate the git repository right after instantiating the app and to do you first commit.
It is also recommended to do a separate commit after running each of these steps.
