React Native Monorepo Tools

A set of tools to help you build your React Native project in a Yarn Workspaces monorepo.

Check out the "Running React Native everywhere" tutorial and the react-native-universal-monorepo to see them in action.

Usage

Install the package using npm or Yarn.

``bash


Using npm

npm install -D react-native-monorepo-tools

Using yarn

yarn add -D react-native-monorepo-tools
`

Tools for making React Native codebases compatible with Yarn Workspaces

$3

Return Metro tools to make it compatible with Yarn workspaces.

#### Usage:

`js
const { getMetroTools } = require("react-native-monorepo-tools");

const metroTools = getMetroTools();

console.log(metroTools.watchFolders);
// ↪ [
// "/Users/me/my-monorepo/node_modules/"
// "/Users/me/my-monorepo/packages/workspace-a/",
// "/Users/me/my-monorepo/packages/workspace-b",
// ]

console.log(metroTools.blockList);
// ↪ [
// /^((?!workspace-a).)\/node_modules\/react\/.$/,
// /^((?!workspace-a).)\/node_modules\/react-native\/.$/,
// ]

console.log(metroTools.extraNodeModules);
// ↪ {
// "react": "/Users/me/my-monorepo/packages/workspace-a/node_modules/react",
// "react-native": "/Users/me/my-monorepo/packages/workspace-a/node_modules/react-native"
// }

`

#### Available params:

- cwd: Optional. Current working directory. Defaults to process.cwd().
- reactNativeAlias: Optional. Alias for the react-native lib (e.g., react-native-macos).
- libNamesOnly: Optional. Return the nothoist list as library names instead of paths? Defaults to false.

#### Output:

- watchFolders: Directories watched by metro.
- blockList: List of regexes resolving to paths ignored by metro.
- extraNodeModules: List of required modules outside of the workspace directory.

$3

Return Webpack tools to make it compatible with Yarn workspaces.

#### Usage:

`js
const { getWebpackTools } = require("react-native-monorepo-tools");
const webpackConfig = require('./webpack.config.js')

const webpackTools = getWebpackTools();

console.log(webpackTools.addNohoistAliases(webpackConfig));
// ↪ alias: {
// "react": "/Users/me/my-monorepo/packages/workspace-a/node_modules/react"
// "react-native": "/Users/me/my-monorepo/packages/workspace-a/node_modules/react-native-web"
// }

console.log(webpackTools.enableWorkspacesResolution(webpackConfig));
// ↪ adds to babel-loader each workspace
`

#### Available params:

- cwd: Optional. Current working directory. Defaults to process.cwd().

#### Output:

- enableWorkspacesResolution(webpackConfig): Updates a webpack config to allow importing from external workspaces.
- addNohoistAliases(webpackConfig): Updates a webpack config to ensure nohoisted libraries are resolved from this workspace.

$3

Return the Metro Android assets resolution fix.

Metro's bundler has an issue with assets resolution on Android when importing assets from paths outside of the project's root directory.
To fix it, we can patch metro's publicPath and enhanceMiddleware to allow reading from n depths below the project directory.
For more info, see this metro comment: https://github.com/facebook/metro/issues/290#issuecomment-543746458

#### Usage:

`js
const {
getMetroAndroidAssetsResolutionFix,
} = require("react-native-monorepo-tools");

const metroAndroidAssetsResolutionFix = getMetroAndroidAssetsResolutionFix();

console.log(metroAndroidAssetsResolutionFix.publicPath);
// ↪ "/assets/dir/dir/dir/dir"

console.log(metroAndroidAssetsResolutionFix.applyMiddleware);
// ↪ Function that applies the patch middleware to metro.
`

#### Available params:

- cwd: Optional. Current working directory. Defaults to process.cwd().

#### Output:

- publicPath: Metro's publicPath.
- applyMiddleware: Function that applies the patch middleware to metro.

Additional minor utils

$3

Return the root path of this monorepo.

Usage:

`js
const { getMonorepoRoot } = require("react-native-monorepo-tools");

const monorepoRoot = getMonorepoRoot();
console.log(monorepoRoot);
// ↪ /Users/me/my-monorepo',
`

Available params:

$3

Return the workspaces of this monorepo (as paths).

#### Usage:

const workspaces = getWorkspaces();
console.log(workspaces);
// ↪ [
// "/Users/me/my-monorepo/packages/workspace-a",

`

$3

Return the nothoist libraries of this monorepo (as paths or names).
