What is metro?

Metro is a JavaScript bundler for React Native, designed to be fast and scalable, handling the packaging of JavaScript code for React Native apps. It compiles and bundles your JavaScript code and assets into a single file, optimizing for performance and efficiency. Metro is the default bundler for React Native, but it can also be used for other JavaScript projects.

What are metro's main functionalities?

Code Bundling

Metro bundles your JavaScript code and assets into a single file. This process is initiated by running the React Native start command, which starts the Metro bundler. The bundler then compiles the JavaScript code, optimizes it, and packages it into a single file that can be executed by the React Native app.

npx react-native start

Fast Refresh

Metro supports Fast Refresh, a feature that allows developers to get instant feedback on their changes without losing the application state. Fast Refresh combines the benefits of hot reloading and full reloading, providing a seamless development experience.
