This project was bootstrapped with Create React Native App and works on IOS or Android.
If Yarn was installed when the project was initialized, then dependencies will have been installed via Yarn, and you should probably use it to run these commands as well. Unlike dependency installation, command running syntax is identical for Yarn and NPM at the time of this writing.
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:
npm start -- --reset-cache
# or
yarn start -- --reset-cache
Runs the jest test runner on your tests.
Like npm start
, but also attempts to open your app in the iOS Simulator if you're on a Mac and have it installed.
Like npm start
, but also attempts to open your app on a connected Android device or emulator. Requires an installation of Android build tools (see React Native docs for detailed setup). We also recommend installing Genymotion as your Android emulator.
