Disclaimer

This is a fork from gilesp's react_native.

Usage

Get image

Usual clone and image install:

> git clone https://github.com/MaximeD/docker-react-native
> cd docker-react-native

> docker build -t react-native .

Next you will need to have the two scripts available in your path. For example you can edit your .bashrc and add:

export PATH="$HOME/docker-react-native:$PATH"

Create a new react native project

Initialize repository.

> react-native.sh init MyAwesomeProjet

(You can safey ignore errors from npm.)

Connect to container and install missing packages

> cd MyAwesomeProjet
> react-native-container.sh

dev> cd node_modules/react-native/
dev> yarn

Run project

Inside container:

dev> adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081 # you'll need android > 5.1 for this
dev> react-native start > react-start.log 2>&1 &
dev> react-native android
dev> react-native run-android

Hot reload

dev> watchman watch .

To enable it on your phone, shake it, and select Enable Hot Reloading. You will also need to access Dev Settings > Debug server host & port for device and enter localhost:8081.

Install udev rules

On your host system, you'll need to install the android udev rules if you want to connect your phone or tablet via USB and deploy the react native app directly to it. You can get the rules from http://source.android.com/source/51-android.rules and you can install them as follows:

wget -S -O - http://source.android.com/source/51-android.rules | sed "s/<username>/$USER/" | sudo tee >/dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
