This project is a React Native 0.55.4 app.
yarn install- download XCode for the iOS simulator
yarn run ios
Opens the app in the iOS Simulator if on a Mac and have XCode installed. Can specify the hardware by clicking the "Hardware" tab while running the simulator or by adding the hardware name as a flag, yarn run ios simulator="<hardware>". The hardware we are using for this project can be simulated using the command: yarn ios --simulator "iPad Pro (9.7-inch)"
yarn start
Runs your app in development mode.
Open it in the Expo app on your phone to view it. It will reload if you save edits to your files, and you will see build errors and logs in the terminal.
Sometimes you may need to reset or clear the React Native packager's cache. To do so, you can pass the --reset-cache flag to the start script:
yarn start --reset-cache
We are using react-native-config for environment variables.
- Create a .env file in the root directory
- Copy the .env.sample in source control to your .env file
- If a variable has a message like "get token", then replace that message with the real specified token
Usage:
If a variable is defined as SLACK_BOT_TOKEN in .env:
import Config from 'react-native-config';
const token = Config.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN;
Sometimes watchman is overly aggressive with the files it caches, leading to changes not being reflected in the app. If you experience an error without explanation, or errors related to haste or watchman indicated on the red debug screen on your simulator, try running:
$ yarn reset
