Summary: In the RNTester TabBarIOS screen, the content of the blue tab suggested it should be displaying a count for the number of rerenders, but it was not:  This PR adds the count onto the blue tab:  The other two tabs already had the counter working correctly. Changelog: ---------- [General] [Fixed] - Fix rerender count on RNTester blue tab Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/22876 Differential Revision: D13593262 Pulled By: PeteTheHeat fbshipit-source-id: b45a9fcaed0f217054baa0d28fd3a2ff9a846b08
RNTester
The RNTester showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Mac OS and Xcode are required.
- Open
RNTester/RNTester.xcodeproj
in Xcode - Hit the Run button
See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.
Running on iOS with CocoaPods
Similar to above, you can build the app via Xcode with help of CocoaPods.
- Install CocoaPods
- Run
cd RNTester; pod install
- Open the generated
RNTesterPods.xcworkspace
(this is not checked in). Do not openRNTesterPods.xcodeproj
directly.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :RNTester:android:app:installDebug
./scripts/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the RNTester app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Running with Buck
Follow the same setup as running with gradle.
Install Buck from here.
Run the following commands from the react-native folder:
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch rntester
buck install -r rntester
./scripts/packager.sh
Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).
Running Detox Tests on iOS
Install Detox from here.
To run the e2e tests locally, run the following commands from the react-native folder:
yarn build-ios-e2e
yarn test-ios-e2e
These are the equivalent of running:
detox build -c ios.sim.release
detox test -c ios.sim.release --cleanup
These build the app in Release mode, so the production code is bundled and included in the built app.
When developing E2E tests, you may want to run in development mode, so that changes to the production code show up immediately. To do this, run:
detox build -c ios.sim.debug
detox test -c ios.sim.debug
You will also need to have Metro Bundler running in another terminal. Note that if you've previously run the E2E tests in release mode, you may need to delete the RNTester/build
folder before rerunning detox build
.
Built from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init
which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json
file (and build.gradle
for Android apps).
