Jetifier is an npm package used to convert Android support libraries in a project to their corresponding AndroidX libraries. This is particularly useful when migrating a React Native project or any Android project that uses older support libraries to the newer AndroidX libraries.
Convert Android support libraries to AndroidX
This command converts all the Android support libraries in your project to their corresponding AndroidX libraries. It scans through your project's node_modules and updates the necessary files.
npx jetifyRevert AndroidX libraries back to support libraries
This command reverts the changes made by Jetifier, converting AndroidX libraries back to the original Android support libraries. This can be useful if you need to roll back the migration for any reason.
npx jetify -rThe jetifier-standalone command-line utility from Android Studio, in npm package format
npm install jetifier (or maybe npm install -g jetifier to make it globally available)npx jetifier-standalone <your arguments here> (use npx jetifier-standalone -h for help)I have not altered the jetifier-standalone distribution in any way.
Other than the npm-specific instructions, consult the official jetifier documentation
Imagine you are a react-native project and one of your library dependencies converts to AndroidX. Now you need to convert your app, but react-native links source code directly and jetifier doesn't handle that.
If there was a way to take your react-native dependencies and convert them, then you could convert your app and use AndroidX dependencies.
npm install jetifier (or use yarn, or install it globally - just install the package)npx jetifynpx react-native run-android (this should compile and work)Please note that any time you install a new dependency, or reinstall node modules, you will need to run npx jetify again.
Please feel free to pull requests or log issues, especially to update versions if I somehow fail to notice an update. Thanks!
