Installation

Prerequisite:​

The first step to getting started is to set up your development environment according to the React Native guide. Just follow the installation instructions and you'll be ready to begin coding!

Create New Project​

To start a new React Native project, use the init command from the CLI and choose the desired template by running the following command:

>_ terminal
npx react-native init APP_NAME --template @mindinventory/react-native-boilerplate

Get the project up and running​

Once you've installed everything needed, follow these steps to launch the project:

  • To start the Metro bundler, run yarn start in a separate terminal window.
  • Use yarn <platform> to start the app on your chosen platform (e.g., yarn android or yarn ios). Remember to either run a simulator or connect a real device for testing.
