react-native-asset

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.

Check out this starter-kit to use your assets with even more simplicity.

Usage

Install

npm install -g react-native-asset
# or yarn
yarn global add react-native-asset

Add assets to your react-native.config.js as you would with react-native link
```
...
 "assets": [
    "./src/font",
    "./src/mp3"
  ]
```
Run the command and linking + unlinking is automatic!
```
react-native-asset
```

Explanation

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.

Backward compatability

to use react-native 0.59 and below, use version 1.1.4
