babel-plugin-ignite-ignore-reactotron

Strip Reactotron from production builds for Ignite-based apps (using ignite-ir-boilerplate).

YOLO

This is beta software.

Please give it a try and lemme know if it doesn't work for you. It should work on any ignite-ir-boilerplate-based Ignite app. If you have any problems, let me know. I'd love to create a generic babel plugin for any Reactotron-based app, not just Ignite.

Overview

I recommend you don't ship with Reactotron since it's a debugging tool. The problem is, you've already installed it as a dev dependency and peppered a bunch of console.tron statements everywhere.

So rather than go any deeper with if statements, this babel plugin will transform your code to ditch Reactotron in production.

Usage

# via npm
npm i --save-dev babel-plugin-ignite-ignore-reactotron
# via yarn
yard add -D babel-plugin-ignite-ignore-reactotron

Modify your .babelrc in your home directory to add this plugin.

{
  "presets": ["react-native"],
  "env": {
    "production": {
      "plugins": ["ignite-ignore-reactotron"]
    }
  }
}

Files Affected

• Everywhere you have console.tron.log() or .display or .error (etc) will be deleted.
• Everywhere there is a console.tron by itself, it will become false.
• import './App/Config/ReactotronConfig' will be removed from index.ios.js and index.android.js.
• Any import or require with the word reactotron will be removed.
• console.tron.overlay(App) will become App in App/Containers/App.js
• console.tron.createSagaMonitor() will become null in App/Redux/CreateStore.js
• console.tron.createStore will become createStore in App/Redux/CreateStore.js

Testing First

To give this a trial-run in production mode:

react-native run-ios --configuration Release
