Dockerized React Native

Want to develop a React Native application in a container avoiding all versioning hassles? Well, you've come to the right repository!

Here, we've orchestrated a docker container with a bare minimum React Native application with Expo managed workflow.

pre-requisites

• docker
• docker-compose (which usually comes along with docker but if it's not the case then yeah)

steps

• clone this repository using git clone https://github.com/taher07/dockerized-react-native.git my-app
• Navigate to the repository and run rm -rf .git/
• Run docker-compose up, you gotta give it some time
• Your React Native application would have probably been running by now, go to http://0.0.0.0:19002 from your browser and it would render dev tools in your browser
• Under the connection session click on Tunnel and you can now run your expo managed app from the Expo Go app on Android or iOS devices
• Now let's get into bash specific to docker container as
  • Run docker ps and copy the container id
  • Run docker exec -it <container_id> bash
• You're all set to start developing your dockerized React Native application
