Summary: This Diff is being posted for discussion purposes. It will not be ready to land until React DevTools v4 has been published to NPM. Update React Native to be compatible with the [new version 4 React DevTools extension](https://github.com/bvaughn/react-devtools-experimental). **Note that this is a breaking change**, as the version 3 and version 4 backends are **not compatible**. Once this update ships (in React Native) users will be required to update their version of the [`react-devtools` NPM package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-devtools). The same will be true for IDEs like Nuclide as well as other developer tools like Flipper and [React Native Debugger](https://github.com/jhen0409/react-native-debugger). Related changes also included in this diff are: * Pass an explicit whitelist of style props for the React Native style editor (to improve developer experience when adding new styles). * Update `YellowBox` console patching to coordinate with DevTools own console patching. * Also improved formatting slightly by not calling `stringifySafe` for strings (since this adds visible quotation marks). Regarding the console patching- component stacks will be appended by default when there's no DevTools frontend open. The frontend will provide an option to turn this behavior off though: {F168852162} React DevTools will detect if the new version is used with an older version of React Native, and offer inline upgrade instructions: {F169306863} **Note that the change to the `RCTEnableTurboModule` will not be included in this Diff**. I've just turned those off temporarily so I can use v8+Chrome for debugging. Reviewed By: rickhanlonii Differential Revision: D15973709 fbshipit-source-id: bb9d83fc829af4693e7a10a622acc95a411a48e4
RNTester
The RNTester showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Both macOS and Xcode are required.
- Install CocoaPods. We installing CocoaPods using Homebrew:
brew install cocoapods - Run
cd RNTester; pod install - Open the generated
RNTesterPods.xcworkspace. This is not checked in, as it is generated by CocoaPods. Do not openRNTesterPods.xcodeprojdirectly.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :RNTester:android:app:installDebug
./scripts/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the RNTester app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Running with Buck
Follow the same setup as running with gradle.
Install Buck from here.
Run the following commands from the react-native folder:
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch rntester
buck install -r rntester
./scripts/packager.sh
Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).
Running Detox Tests on iOS
Install Detox from here.
To run the e2e tests locally, run the following commands from the react-native folder:
yarn build-ios-e2e
yarn test-ios-e2e
These are the equivalent of running:
detox build -c ios.sim.release
detox test -c ios.sim.release --cleanup
These build the app in Release mode, so the production code is bundled and included in the built app.
When developing E2E tests, you may want to run in development mode, so that changes to the production code show up immediately. To do this, run:
detox build -c ios.sim.debug
detox test -c ios.sim.debug
You will also need to have Metro running in another terminal. Note that if you've previously run the E2E tests in release mode, you may need to delete the RNTester/build folder before rerunning detox build.
Building from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
