It is a minimalist React Native template with preconfigured common set of packages to start a new app.
npm install @ajaysidhu/react-native-template


A starter kit for initializing a new React-Native project to save at least 1 week's worth of effort with some commonly used preconfigured libraries and folder structure.

2. Make sure that your Cocoapods version is >= 3.5.7. If its lower than 3.5.7, you can update it using the following command:
``shell`
sudo gem install cocoapods
3. The installation command will fail if you have the global legacy react-native-cli installed in your machine. Make sure you uninstall it first:
`shell`
yarn global remove react-native-cli
or if using npm
`shell`
npm uninstall -g react-native-cli
Generate a new React Native(v0.81) app using the @ajaysidhu/react-native-template:
`shell`
npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init myapp --template @ajaysidhu/react-native-template --skip-install --pm npm --skip-git-init
You might also be prompted to confirm the installation for the packages react-native and husky. Simply hit enter to proceed.
The template will automatically install the npm dependencies and the pods (if you are on the MacOS).
or try out the latest features which are not release to the npm yet, then you can run:`shell
npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init myapp --template https://github.com/ajaykumar97/react-native-template.git --skip-install --pm npm --skip-git-init
`Notes
1. Starting React Native v0.74, Xcode does not start Metro bundler automatically. If you are running the app from the XCode, please make sure that your metro bundler is running before running the build from XCode. You can start the metro bundler by running the following command in the root directory of your newly created project using this template:`shell
npm start
`2. Minimum supported versions:
- iOS: 15.1
- Android: 26
Use Older versions
If you want to use an older version of the template, then you can run(replace
version with your desired version):`shell
npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init myapp --template @ajaysidhu/react-native-template@version --skip-install --pm npm --skip-git-init
``You can look at all versions, that I have published here.
Check out the documentation website to learn more about the template.
If you want to extend the setup further to configure Google Service files for Development, Testing, Staging and Production environments, you can follow my this Medium post.
This repository exists to demonstrate architecture, tooling, and engineering practices, not to chase every weekly package release.
If you need this template upgraded to a specific React Native version or dependency set, request it here.
When a request comes in, I update the template to the latest stable stack and push a new release.
Happy coding, and I look forward to hearing from you!
