Ben Alpert 6a838a4201 Consume react, fbjs from npm
Summary:
We don't (yet) treat these the same as any other modules because we still have special resolution rules for them in the packager allowing the use of `providesModule`, but I believe this allows people to use npm react in their RN projects and not have duplicate copies of React. Fixes facebook/react-native#2985.

This relies on fbjs 0.6, which includes `.flow` files alongside the `.js` files to allow them to be typechecked without additional configuration. This also uses react 0.14.5, which shims a couple of files (as `.native.js`) to avoid DOM-specific bits. Once we fix these in React, we will use the same code on web and native. Hopefully we can also remove the packager support I'm adding here for `.native.js`.

This diff is not the desired end state for us – ideally the packager would know nothing of react or fbjs, and we'll get there eventually by not relying on `providesModule` in order to load react and fbjs modules. (fbjs change posted here but not merged yet: https://github.com/facebook/fbjs/pull/84.)

This should also allow relay to work seamlessly with RN, but I haven't verified this.

UIExplorer

The UIExplorer is a sample app that 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 Examples/UIExplorer/UIExplorer.xcodeproj in Xcode
  • Hit the Run button

See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.

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 :Examples:UIExplorer:android:app:installDebug
./packager/packager.sh

Note: Building for the first time can take a while.

Open the UIExplorer app in your emulator.

See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.

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).
