grunt-react-native

A grunt plugin for launching the React Native packager and bundle your files for release

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install react@^0.14.5 react-native@^0.24.1 grunt-react-native --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-react-native');

The "react_native" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named react_native to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  react_native: {
    your_target: {
      options: {
        // Target-specific options go here.
      }
      // Target-specific files go here.
    },
  },
});

Options

options.minify

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Setting to true will minify the resulting bundle.

options.platform

Type: String Default value: The task's (target) name

Which platform the bundle is made for.

options.reset_cache

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Pass the reset cache option to react native packager (see https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4968)

options.verbose

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Verbose mode.

options.watch

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Watch mode, this will launch the react native packager server for development.

Usage Examples

grunt.initConfig({
  react_native: {
    ios: {
      options: {
        minify: false,
        verbose: false,
        watch: false,
      },
      src: 'src/index.ios.js',
      dst: 'build/index.ios.bundle',
    },
    watch: {
      options: {
        verbose: false,
        watch: true,
      },
      src: 'src/', // The directory to watch and serve
    },
  },
});

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
