Zephyr Repack Plugin

A React Native plugin for deploying cross-platform applications built with React Native, Rspack and Re.Pack. This plugin enables Over-The-Air updates capabilities for federated applications and seamless deployment to Zephyr Cloud.

Get Started

The fastest way to get started is to use create-zephyr-apps to generate a new React Native application with Zephyr integration and choose from React Native example:

``bash
npx create-zephyr-apps@latest
`

For more information, please refer to our documentation for Repack and also a comprehensive guide to work with Re.Pack here.

Installation

Installing the zephyr-repack-plugin for your cross-platform application:

`


npm

npm install --save-dev zephyr-repack-plugin

yarn

yarn add --dev zephyr-repack-plugin

pnpm

pnpm add --dev zephyr-repack-plugin

bun

bun add --dev zephyr-repack-plugin
`

Usage

Using zephyr-repack-plugin by wrapping the Rspack configuration:

`js
const { withZephyr } = require('zephyr-repack-plugin');

const config = {
/* ...rspack configuration /
};

module.exports = withZephyr()(config);
`

With zephyr-repack-plugin you can continue to use the previous configuration from Module Federation configuration (note that just the configuration, not the plugin). We recommend using the new Re.Pack Module Federation as it has better runtime support for cross-platform applications for usage with rspack and react native.

For usage with Re.Pack you can check out Re.Pack's docs - another reference of how to use it is Callstack's Super App Showcase and our Repack Example.

#### Continuation

1. You can continue to use previous configuration from Module Federation configuration (note that just the configuration, not the plugin). We recommend using the new Re.Pack Module Federation as it has better runtime support for cross-platform applications for usage with rspack and react native.

`js
// rspack.config.js
plugins: [
new Repack.plugins.ModuleFederationPluginV2({
// your configuration
}),
];
`

#### Host app/Consumer example

`js
// rspack.config.js
...
new Repack.plugins.ModuleFederationPluginV2({
/**
* The name of the module is used to identify the module in URLs resolver and imports.
*/
name: 'MobileHost',
dts: false,
remotes: {
MobileCart: MobileCart@http://localhost:9000/${platform}/MobileCart.container.js.bundle,
MobileInventory: MobileInventory@http://localhost:9001/${platform}/MobileInventory.container.js.bundle,
MobileCheckout: MobileCheckout@http://localhost:9002/${platform}/MobileCheckout.container.js.bundle,
MobileOrders: MobileOrders@http://localhost:9003/${platform}/MobileOrders.container.js.bundle,
},
/**
* Shared modules are shared in the share scope.
* React, React Native and React Navigation should be provided here because there should be only one instance of these modules.
* Their names are used to match requested modules in this compilation.
*/
shared: getSharedDependencies({eager: true}),
}),
...

`

#### MiniApp/Provider example

`js
// rspack.config.js
...
new Repack.plugins.ModuleFederationPluginV2({
/**
* The name of the module is used to identify the module in URLs resolver and imports.
*/
name: 'MobileCheckout',
filename: 'MobileCheckout.container.js.bundle',
dts: false,
/**
* This is a list of modules that will be shared between remote containers.
*/
exposes: {
'./CheckoutSection': './src/components/CheckoutSection',
'./CheckoutSuccessScreen': './src/screens/CheckoutSuccessScreen',
},
/**
* Shared modules are shared in the share scope.
* React, React Native and React Navigation should be provided here because there should be only one instance of these modules.
* Their names are used to match requested modules in this compilation.
*/
shared: getSharedDependencies({eager: STANDALONE}),
}),
...
`

Creation command

To create a complete example of a React Native application, with Zephyr enabled, configured, you can use our creation command where you can find most of our examples.

`bash
npx create-zephyr-apps@latest
``

This will create a new React Native application with Zephyr enabled, configured, and ready to use. Read more about what this command would create here.
