Create React Native App
I work on a windows box, most of the resources i can find are mac for “Create”.
https://github.com/react-community/create-react-native-app is generic, but quite a few gaps if you haven't explored node.js or react on it own..
first gap that I found was that the Node.JS install https://nodejs.org/en/ comes with npm. At this point I am not sure what NPM is, but the instructions seem to use it! so there we are.. we can safely move on!
running - npm install -g create-react-native-app
seems to find the package downloaded.. I had it up a lomg folder structure.. so could have downloaded it?? anyone know how it happens?
I have installed expo, and scanned the code that comes up when you run the rest of the tutorial, and I have words on my phone screen..
Shake yur device, change it to “hot reload” and start to alter the app.js file, and it will update on the device a few seconds after saving your .js file..
put this in, and get hello world!!
import React, { Component } from 'react'; import { Text } from 'react-native';
export default class HelloWorldApp extends Component { render() { return ( <Text>Hello world!</Text> ); } }
