Get correctly localhost on Android emulator for React Native
npm install rn-host-detect> Get correctly localhost on Android emulator for React Native
On Android emulator, if you want to connect any servers of local, you will need run adb reverse on your terminal. This module made it easier, you can get the localhost IP of host machine directly (10.0.2.2, Genymotion: 10.0.3.2).
This was done in the following projects:
* remote-redux-devtools
* reactotron-react-native
That's why you don't need adb reverse when you're using these modules on Android emulator.
``bash`
$ npm i rn-host-detect --save-dev
`js
const getHostForRN = require('rn-host-detect')
// '10.0.2.2' or '10.0.3.2' on Android
getHostForRN('localhost')
// '192.168.1.111', only convert localhost (or 127.0.0.1) to host IP
getHostForRN('192.168.1.111')
