First off, thank you for considering contributing to the React Native Community. The community-supported packages are only possible because of amazing people like you.
Secondly, we'd like the contribution experience to be as good as possible. While we are a small all-volunteer team, we are happy to hear feedback about your experience, and if we can make the docs or experience better please let us know.
After you fork the repo, clone it to your machine, and make your changes, you'll want to test them in an app.
In a new react-native init project, do this:
$ yarn add ../react-native-webview
$ react-native link react-native-webview
You may run into a problem where the jest-haste-map module map says react-native was added twice:
Loading dependency graph...(node:32651) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: jest-haste-map: Haste module naming collision:
Duplicate module name: react-native
Paths: /Users/myuser/TestApp/node_modules/react-native/package.json collides with /Users/myuser/TestApp/node_modules/react-native-webview/node_modules/react-native/package.json
Just remove the second path like this:
$ rm -rf ./node_modules/react-native-webview/node_modules/react-native
And then re-run the packager:
$ react-native start --reset-cache
When you make a change, you'll probably need to unlink, remove, re-add, and re-link react-native-webview:
$ react-native unlink react-native-webview && yarn remove react-native-webview
$ yarn add ../react-native-webview && react-native link react-native-webview
- We use TypeScript.
- We don't intend to support UIWebView and will remove it soon.
- After pulling this repo and installing all dependencies, you can run tests using the command:
yarn ci
