react-native-ultimate-config offers a way to configure your projects on all levels and keep configuration data separate from code or project files: api urls, app names, feature flags. Anything you would typically put into environment can now be loaded from a separate file.

Consumption of the environment should be happening with explicit command without too much magic and complex integration steps.
