Link and unlink assets to your react-native project with ease!

Advantages

  • react-native link only supports font files, this tool supports all assets.
  • Unlinking is automatic when you delete an asset, with react-native link, you need to unlink the files manually.
  • Proper link (and unlink) for mp3 (to use with react-native-sound) and ttf files.

Usage

  • Install
    npm install -g react-native-asset
    # or yarn
    yarn global add react-native-asset
  • Add assets to you package json as you would with react-native link
    ...
     "rnpm": {
        "assets": [
          "./src/font",
          "./src/mp3"
        ]
     }
  • Run the command and linking + unlinking is automatic!
    react-native-asset

Exaplain

With react-native link you have to unlink the files manually, which is hard work.
Instead this library writes link-assets-manifest.json to the root of android and ios folders to keep track of the files which it added, for later removing it for you if missing from your assets!

Parameters

  • -p, --path - path to project, defaults to cwd.
  • -a, --assets - assets paths, for example react-native-asset -a ./src/font ./src/mp3.
  • -ios-a, --ios-assets - ios assets paths, will disable android linking
  • -android-a, --android-assets - android assets paths, will disable ios linking.
  • -n-u, --no-unlink - Not to unlink assets which not longer exists, not recommanded.
