base on Infinite Red's battle-tested React Native project boilerplate, along with a CLI, component/model generators, and more! 9 years of continuous development and counting. <p align="center"><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1479215/206780298-2b98221d-9c57-4cd3-866a-cf85ec1ddd9e.jpg" alt="Ignite README Splash Image" /></p> # Ignite - the battle-tested React Native boilerplate <a href="https://badge.fury.io/js/ignite-cli" target="_blank"><img src="https://badge.fury.io/js/ignite-cli.svg" alt="npm version" height="20"></a>   [](https://dl.circleci.com/status-badge/redirect/gh/infinitered/ignite/tree/master) ## Proven React Native boilerplate The culmination of over seven 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](https://infinite.red/react-native-app-development-company) 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! ## Intro Videos Here are a few videos / talks that introduce Ignite and show off some of its features.

If you're unsure why a certain decision was made related to this boilerplate or how to proceed with a particular feature, it's likely documented. If it still isn't clear, go through the proper [help channels](#reporting-bugs--getting-help) and we always welcome PRs to improve the docs! ## 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 | v0.74 | The best cross-platform mobile framework | | React | UI Framework | v18 | The most popular UI framework in the world | | TypeScript | Language | v5 | 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 | v51 | Allows (optional) Expo modules | | Expo Font | Custom Fonts | v12 | Import custom fonts | | Expo Localization | Internationalization | v15 | i18n support (including RTL!) | | Expo Status Bar | Status Bar Library | v1 | Status bar support | | RN Reanimated | Animations | v3 | Beautiful and performant animations | | MMKV | Persistence | v2 | State persistence | | apisauce | REST client | v2 | Communicate with back-end | | Reactotron RN | Inspector/Debugger | v3 | JS debugging | | Hermes | JS engine | | Fine-tuned JS engine for RN | | Jest | Test Runner | v26 | Standard test runner for JS apps | | Maestro | Testing Framework | | Automate end-to-end UI testing | | date-fns | Date library | v2 | Excellent date library | | react-native-keyboard-controller | Keyboard library | v1 | Great keyboard manager library | | FlashList | FlatList replacement | v1 | A performant drop-in replacement for FlatList | Ignite also comes with a [component library](./docs/boilerplate/app/components/Components.md) that is tuned for custom designs, theming support, testing, custom fonts, generators, and much, much more. ## Quick Start Prerequisites: - You'll need at least a recent version of [Node](https://nodejs.org/en) to run the CLI - For compiling/running in a simulator, make sure you're set up for React Native by following [the official documentation](https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup). The Ignite CLI will walk you through the steps to ignite a new React Native app: ```bash # Get walked through the prompts for the different options to start your new app npx ignite-cli@latest new PizzaApp # Accept all the recommended defaults and get straight to coding! npx ignite-cli@latest new PizzaApp --yes ``` Once you're up and running, check out our [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.infinite.red/ignite-cli/Guide/). If you'd like to follow a tutorial, check out [this one from Robin Heinze](https://shift.infinite.red/creating-a-trivia-app-with-ignite-bowser-part-1-1987cc6e93a1). ### 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-cli` and use the CLI via `npx ignite-cli` - Make sure you are using a reasonably recent version of Node. This can be checked via the `node --version` command. If you require multiple Node versions on your system, install `nvm`, and then run `nvm install --lts`. At the time of writing, Node LTS is v20.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 --install` in 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 `--debug` switch to the Ignite CLI new command to provide additional output during project initialization ## 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](https://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. ## Contributing to Ignite Want to contribute to Ignite?
