Ignite - the battle-tested React Native boilerplate
Battle-tested React Native boilerplate
The culmination of over six years of constant React Native development, Ignite is the most popular React Native app boilerplate for both Expo and bare React Native.
This is the React Native boilerplate that the Infinite Red team uses on a day-to-day basis to build client apps. Developers who use Ignite report that it saves them two to four weeks of time on average off the beginning of their React Native project!
Tech Stack
Nothing makes it into Ignite unless it's been proven on projects that Infinite Red works on. Ignite apps include the following rock-solid technical decisions out of the box:
| Library | Category | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| React Native | Mobile Framework | v0.69 | The best cross-platform mobile framework |
| React | UI Framework | v18 | The most popular UI framework in the world |
| TypeScript | Language | v4 | Static typechecking |
| React Navigation | Navigation | v6 | Performant and consistent navigation framework |
| MobX-State-Tree | State Management | v5 | Observable state tree |
| MobX-React-Lite | React Integration | v3 | Re-render React performantly |
| Expo | SDK | v46 | Allows (optional) Expo modules |
| Expo Font | Custom Fonts | v10 | Import custom fonts |
| Expo Localization | Internationalization | v13 | i18n support (including RTL!) |
| Expo Status Bar | Status Bar Library | v1 | Status bar support |
| RN Reanimated | Animations | v2 | Beautiful and performant animations |
| AsyncStorage | Persistence | v1 | State persistence |
| apisauce | REST client | v2 | Communicate with back-end |
| Flipper | Debugger | Native debugging | |
| Reactotron RN | Inspector/Debugger | v2 | JS debugging |
| Hermes | JS engine | Fine-tuned JS engine for RN | |
| Jest | Test Runner | v26 | Standard test runner for JS apps |
| Detox | Testing Framework | v19 | Graybox end-to-end testing |
| date-fns | Date library | v2 | Excellent date library |
Ignite also comes with a component library that is tuned for custom designs, theming support, testing, custom fonts, generators, and much, much more.
Quick Start
Prerequisites:
- For Expo-powered React Native apps, no prerequisites are necessary (why choose Expo?)
- For vanilla React Native, make sure you're set up for React Native by following the official documentation.
Run the CLI:
# Get walked through the prompts for the different options to start your new app
npx [email protected] new PizzaApp
# Accept all the recommended defaults and get straight to coding!
npx [email protected] new PizzaApp --yes
Once you're up and running, check out our new Getting Started Guide guide or the rest of our docs.
If you'd like to follow a tutorial, check out this one from Robin Heinze. Note that this was created for a previous version of Ignite -- we are working on updating it!
Generators
The hidden gem of Ignite. Generators help you scaffold your app very quickly, be it for a proof-of-concept, a demo, or a production app. Generators are there to save you time, keep your code consistent, and help you with the basic structure of your app.
npx ignite-cli generate --help
...will give you information on what generators are present. To learn more, check out our Generators documentation.
Troubleshooting
The above commands may fail with various errors, depending on your operating system and dependency versions. Some troubleshooting steps to follow:
- Uninstall global versions of the Ignite CLI via
npm uninstall -g ignite-cliand use the CLI vianpx ignite-cli - Make sure you are using a reasonably recent version of Node. This can be checked via the
node --versioncommand. If you require multiple Node versions on your system, installnvm, and then runnvm install --lts. At the time of writing, Node LTS is v16.x.x. - If the installation fails because of an Xcode error (missing Xcode command line tools), the easiest way to install them is to run
sudo xcode-select --installin your terminal. - If Xcode and command line tools are already installed, but the installation complains about missing patch dependencies, you may need to switch the Xcode location to something else:
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer - Opening the project in Xcode can give you other insights into what's happening:
open ./ios/<yourapp>.xcworkspace - Add the
--debugswitch to the Ignite CLI new command to provide additional output during project initialization
Note:
- Navigation persistence is OFF by default in production.
- Error boundary is set to 'always' display by default.
Reporting Bugs / Getting Help
If you run into problems, first search the issues and discussions in this repository. If you don't find anything, you can come talk to our friendly and active developers in the Infinite Red Community Slack (community.infinite.red).
If you still need help after reaching out to the proper channels, feel free to open a new GitHub issue via npx ignite-cli issue "Unable to Ignite new app" (as an example). This will help start writing your issue with the correct diagnostic information included.
