Install required packages in ios:
cd ios
npm install
Install required dependencies in web:
cd web
npm install
The code in platform-common has dependencies. These need to be resolved when you are developing for web:
cd platform-common
npm link
cd web
npm link ../platform-common
Each platform runs separately in its folder, but symlinks to the platform-common folder
To develop for iOS:
cd ios
npm run dev
This will start (concurrently) 2 tasks: the React Native packager, and a background gulp watch task that watches for changes in the platform-common code, and copies over all files to the ios/node_modules directory. We need this because watchman doesn't follow sym links properly (RN issue).
To develop for web:
cd web
npm start
Unit tests are kept close to the code, within each discrete module.
platform-common are all unit tests, since these are all modular pure functions. To start testing:
cd platform-common
npm test
This runs the mocha test suite once. It globs through every file in the platform-common directory and finds ones with name *.spec.js.
More soon.
Sometimes the packager will have spasms or complain it can't find a module that's obviously there. Just ctrl-c out of the process and start again.
