react-native-pod

react-native-pod

Extends support for CocoaPods in React Native projects by:

• Initializing a Podfile for your ios project (in /ios/Podfile)
• On react-native link, scans the package.json of all dependencies for a "pods" entry. If found, adds those pods to the Podfile.
• At the end of react-native link, runs pod install to update your Pods if necessary. Now you have installed pods!
• You can update pods at any time by running react-native installpods

Usage:

yarn add react-native-pod
react-native link

Developer use

New! Add pods you would like distributed with your package from the command line:

react-native addpod [pod]

or

react-native addpod [pod] --podversion [version]

or

react-native addpod [pod] --podgit[giturl]

Note that adding a pod puts the reference in your package.json. This gives the hint to react-native link to add it to your Podfile.

To remove a pod:

react-native removepod [pod]

Prerequisite

You need to have CocoaPods installed. To get it going: sudo gem install cocoapods.

How to add value with this

When making a native module that has a pod dependency, just add the pod reference to your pods in package.json manually or using the tools above, and make react-native-pod a peer dependency.
