ReactNativeKotlinJsTemplate

A minimalist React Native template for a quick start with Kotlin/JS.

Setup

1. Init with the template

npx react-native init MyApp --template https://github.com/cyfung/ReactNativeKotlinJsTemplate

2. Enter the App folder cd Mypp
3. Build the JS with kotlin ./gradlew copyDevelopment. Or gradlew copyDevelopment if on Windows
4. Enter the react folder cd react
5. Run yarn install to install all the javascript dependencies.
6. (optional) Init react-native-windows

npx  react-native-windows-init --overwrite

Build

Update the JS with one of the following gradle tasks in the App folder

copyDevelopment
copyProduction
cleanCopyDevelopment
cleanCopyProduction

The postfix indicates whether it is for development or production

Tasks with prefix clean will delete the react/generated folder before copying

Run

Depending on your platform, use of the following commands in the react folder to start react-native

npx react-native run-android
npx react-native run-ios
npx react-native run-windows

Continuous Build

You may run the gradle tasks with -t on a separate windows for continuous build, e.g.

gradlew -t copyDevelopment
