Getting Started

Requirements

• Node LTS v20+
  • Verify version with node -v
• generator-jhipster-react-native installed
  • Install with npm install -g generator-jhipster-react-native
• eas-cli installed with npm install -g eas-cli
• To run your app on an emulator instead of a device, follow the platform-specific instructions:
  • Android
  • iOS
• JHipster backend must use jwt or oauth2 for its authenticationType

Usage

Generate React Native app from JHipster app

Create a JHipster app using jhipster, or a backend-only with jhipster --skip-client.

Create a directory alongside your JHipster app (ex. client), and run rnhipster in it.

+ rootDir/
  + backend/ # run `jhipster` in it.
  + client/  # run `rnhipster` in it.

Answer the prompts:

• Enter the path to your JHipster app (default: ../backend)
• Choose whether to enable E2E Detox Tests

Generate JHipster app and React Native app at the same time

You can also create a JHipster app and a React Native app at the same time using the following command:

jhipster jdl bug-tracker.jdl --blueprints react-native

Answer the prompts:

• Enter the path to your React Native app (default: ../client)

For available options, you can run:

rnhipster app --help

Configuration

• app/config/app-config.js contains your JHipster API URL (default: http://localhost:8080/)

CORS

• In dev, for the Web build, add http://localhost:8081 as an allowed origin in the backend CORS config.
• In production, you will need to enable CORS for your deployment domain.

Notes for Android

• When running your JHipster backend locally for Android, make sure to run adb reverse tcp:8080 tcp:8080 so the app can communicate with your backend.
