What are @react-native-community/cli-config's main functionalities?

Customizing CLI Configuration

This feature allows you to customize the React Native CLI configuration by specifying paths, assets, and dependencies. The code sample demonstrates how to set the path to the React Native library, include custom assets, and configure platform-specific dependencies.

module.exports = {
  reactNativePath: './node_modules/react-native',
  assets: ['./assets/fonts/'],
  dependencies: {
    'react-native-some-library': {
      platforms: {
        ios: null,
      },
    },
  },
};

Managing Project Settings

This feature allows you to manage project settings such as resolver configurations. The code sample shows how to extend the default configuration to include additional source file extensions.

const { getDefaultConfig } = require('@react-native-community/cli-config');

module.exports = {
  ...getDefaultConfig(__dirname),
  resolver: {
    sourceExts: ['jsx', 'js', 'ts', 'tsx'],
  },
};
