initial project with react native
npm install -g react-native-cli
react-native init [project name]
run app in ios simulator
cd [project name]
react-native run-ios
configure with typescript
npm install -g typescript
tsc --init --pretty --jsx react
add babelTransformerPath: require.resolve('react-native-typescript-transformer') in metro.config.js
// metro.config.js
module.exports = {
transformer: {
babelTransformerPath: require.resolve('react-native-typescript-transformer'),
getTransformOptions: async () => ({
transform: {
experimentalImportSupport: false,
inlineRequires: false,
},
}),
},
};
add basic configuration in tsconfig.json
// tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es2015", /* Specify ECMAScript target version: 'ES3' (default), 'ES5', 'ES2015',
"module": "commonjs", /* Specify module code generation: 'none', 'commonjs', 'amd', 'system', 'umd', 'es2015', or 'ESNext'. */
"noEmit": true, /* Do not emit outputs. */
"moduleResolution": "node", /* Specify module resolution strategy: 'node' (Node.js) or 'classic' (TypeScript pre-1.6). */
},
"exclude": ["node_modules"]
}
add component Item.tsx
//src/components/Item.tsx
import * as React from 'react';
import {Text} from 'react-native';
type Props = {
title: string;
}
const Item = (props: Props) => ({props.title} );
export default Item;
rename app.js to app.tsx, and show the item in the app
// app.tsx
/**
* Sample React Native App
* https://github.com/facebook/react-native
*
* @format
*/
import * as React from 'react';
import {Component} from 'react';
import {Platform, StyleSheet, Text, View} from 'react-native';
import Item from './src/components/Item';
const instructions = Platform.select({
ios: 'Press Cmd+R to reload,\n' + 'Cmd+D or shake for dev menu',
android:
'Double tap R on your keyboard to reload,\n' +
'Shake or press menu button for dev menu',
});
type Props = {};
export default class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
Welcome to React Native!
To get started, edit App.js
{instructions}
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
},
welcome: {
fontSize: 20,
textAlign: 'center',
margin: 10,
},
instructions: {
textAlign: 'center',
color: '#333333',
marginBottom: 5,
},
});
now we can use typescript to add type for the app.
