React Native Directory

React Native Directory is a website where you can see all of the libraries that are compatible with React Native.

Note: A transition in progress from https://native.directory to https://reactnative.directory, so the following links may not work for you yet!

Website: https://reactnative.directory/

How do I know I'm at the right place?

You made a repository on GitHub and you want the world to know it works with React Native.
You want to submit a pull request to improve React Native Directory.
You want to report a bug or make a suggestion.

I don't like your website, can I hit an API instead and build my own better stuff?

Sure, go for it!

How do I add a library?

Add it to react-native-libraries.json.
Submit a PR.

Please follow this format and indentation:

{
  "githubUrl": "<THE GITHUB URL>",
  "npmPkg": "<NPM PACKAGE NAME>",
  "examples": ["<THE URL TO REPO>", "<THE URL TO A SNACK>"],
  "images": ["<PUBLIC URL TO RELATED IMAGE>"],
  "ios": false,
  "android": false,
  "web": false,
  "expo": false,
  "windows": false,
  "macos": false,
  "unmaintained": false
},

githubUrl - where we can find the repository on GitHub. currently other git hosts are not supported.
npmPkg - optional string of the package's display name.
examples - optional array of URLs (snacks preferred) with demonstrations of the library.
images - optional array of images that will show up in the listing to preview the library functionality
ios - works on iOS phones.
android - works on Android phones.
web - can be used in the browser.
expo - can be used in managed workflow, without ejecting an Expo application (any library can be used if you eject).
windows - can be used with react-native-windows.
macos - can be used with react-native-macos.
unmaintained - optional boolean to signify that a library is or is not maintained.

Note: If your package is within a monorepo on GitHub, eg: https://github.com/expo/expo/tree/master/packages/expo-web-browser, then the name, description, homepage, and topics (keywords) will be extracted from package.json for that subrepo. GitHub stats will be based on the monorepo, because there isn't really another option.

How do I run my own version locally?

Prerequisites

Node LTS

Commands

With npm

npm install
npm start

With yarn

yarn
yarn start

You should be able to visit localhost:3000 in your browser.

How do I run `npm run data:update` with keys?

Visit https://github.com/settings/developers to get your keys (don't worry about the callback URL, put whatever you want).
Load the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable into your shell.

This command creates site data in ./assets/data.json

GITHUB_TOKEN=<*> npm run data:update

How do I deploy my own version of this?

Site is hosted on Now, and this is the easiest way to do it.
You can deploy your own with your own Now account
You will need to provide GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable in your Vercel configuration.

# once environment variables are configured, install now and deploy
npm i -g now
now

How do I deploy to production?

Get a commit on master and it will be automatically deployed.
