React Native Static Server Example

This example React Native application showcases the basic use of @dr.pogodin/react-native-static-server to serve a simple static website which is rendered inside the app using react-native-webview component. It also demonstrates a few optional features relevant to such example, like messaging between the native app and a web app inside react-native-webview, and opening selected web app links separately in the system browser app.

BEWARE: To facilitate library development needs, this example is set up differently from a real project — instead of consuming library code from a node module installed from NPM, this example consumes the library from its parent folder. Also dev setup works only with Yarn.

To install dependencies and run the example do in the library code base root: `

# Installs node modules, both in the root, and in the example folder.
yarn install

# This clones and checks out the source code for PCRE2 and Lighttpd,
# which would be already packed into the library package from NPM.
git submodule update --init --recursive

# Launches the development server.
yarn example start

On Android:

• yarn example android (in the library codebase root) — builds & deploys the example app.

On iOS:

• Install pods:

  cd example/ios
  RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 pod install

  Here RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 is optional, omit it to build for the old RN architecture.

• Then open, build, and run the example project in XCode.
