React (Web + Native) Starter Kit

For when you're looking to build 'the next big thing' for both web and native mobile.

👋 Intro

This boilerplate launches with a React web app and React Native app sharing a single code base. It shares the 'business logic' (i.e. actions, containers, reducers) across the platforms, whilst allowing flexibility in View components to ensure your project looks and feels native in each platform.

The project is super helpful to kick-start your next project, as it provides a lot of the common tools you may reach for, all ready to go. Specifically:

A shared React and React Native structure
Flux architecture
- Redux
Routing and navigation
- React Native Router Flux for native mobile
- React Router for web
Data Caching / Offline
- Redux Persist
UI Toolkit/s
- Native Base for native mobile
- Bootstrap for web
Simpler mobile app development through
- Expo
User authentication example through
- Firebase
API/Data example
- Shows how to read/write data from/to an external API (in our case, Firebase)
Code Linting with
- Airbnb's JS Linting guidelines

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone and Install

*It's recommended that you install React Native Debugger and open before npm start.

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/mcnamee/react-native-starter-kit.git

# Install dependencies
npm i

2.1. Run the React Native App

# Start the React Native packager
npm start

Instructions are shown in the terminal. You can select to open it in:

An emulator (either iOS or Android)
Your mobile device with the Expo app. It will reload if you save edits to your files and you will see build errors and logs in the terminal.

2.2. Run the Web App

# Starts are local live-reload server at:
# http://localhost:3001
npm run web

Via webpack, starts a localhost server on port 3001 http://localhost:3001.

Save code and it auto refreshes
Install Redux DevTools into Chrome to see the state of Redux
