React Native CLI

Command line tools that ship with react-native in form of the @react-native-community/cli package.

It exposes react-native binary, so you can call yarn react-native or npx react-native directly from your project.

Note: CLI has been extracted from core react-native as a part of "Lean Core" effort. Please read this blog post for more details.

About

This monorepository contains tools and helpers for React Native projects in form of a Command Line Tool (or CLI). This CLI is used directly by the react-native package and is not intended for use directly. We update it independently of React Native itself.

Creating a new React Native project

Run the following command in your terminal prompt:

npx react-native@latest init MyApp

Usage in an existing React Native project

Once you're inside an existing project, a local react-native binary will be available for you to use. Feel free to use Yarn to call it directly.

Example running start command in terminal:

yarn react-native start
# or:
npx react-native start

You can also add npm scripts to call it with whichever package manager you use:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-native start"
  }
}

Updating the CLI

Warning

Please do it only if you need to. We don't recommend updating CLI independently of react-native as it may cause unexpected issues.

React Native CLI is a dependency of react-native, which makes it a transitive dependency of your project. You can overwrite the version independently of react-native by using resolutions field in your package.json:

{
  "resolutions": {
    "@react-native-community/cli": "VERSION",
    "@react-native-community/cli-clean": "VERSION",
    "@react-native-community/cli-config": "VERSION",
    "@react-native-community/cli-debugger-ui": "VERSION",
    "@react-native-community/cli-doctor": "VERSION",
    "@react-native-community/cli-link-assets": "VERSION",
    "@react-native-community/cli-platform-android": "VERSION",
    "@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios": "VERSION",
    "@react-native-community/cli-server-api": "VERSION",
    "@react-native-community/cli-tools": "VERSION",
    "@react-native-community/cli-types": "VERSION"
  }
}
