Migrating react-native project to ReNative

Overview​

ReNative supports react-native projects pretty much out of the box in terms of your application code

Due to variety of possibilities / complexity fo react-native projects (ie plugins, custom build scripts and so on) there might be some extra work required to reconnect existing plugins

Migration Guide​

  1. Install rnv
  2. Create new project rnv new (pick renative-template-hello-world)
  3. follow rest of the steps
  4. After first rnv run ... check out the codebase and pay attention to:
  • ./index.ios.js file
  • ./index.android.js file
  • src/ folder

replace src/ folder content with source content of your app (JS files)

make sure that your main app.js is initialized in both

  • ./index.ios.js file
  • ./index.android.js file

that's it really.

if you also installed some react native plugins in your project make sure to move them to

./renative.json config file under plugins object. renative uses standard react native plugins so plugin names will stay same!
