This project is a monorepo managed using Yarn workspaces. It contains the following packages:
- The library package in the root directory.
- An example app in the
example/directory.
To get started with the project, make sure you have the correct version of Node.js installed. See the .nvmrc file for the version used in this project.
Run yarn in the root directory to install the required dependencies for each package:
yarnSince the project relies on Yarn workspaces, you cannot use
npmfor development without manually migrating.
The example app demonstrates usage of the library. You need to run it to test any changes you make.
It is configured to use the local version of the library, so any changes you make to the library's source code will be reflected in the example app. Changes to the library's JavaScript code will be reflected in the example app without a rebuild, but native code changes will require a rebuild of the example app.
If you want to use Android Studio or Xcode to edit the native code, you can open the example/android or example/ios directories respectively in those editors. To edit the Objective-C or Swift files, open example/ios/TinykitExample.xcworkspace in Xcode and find the source files at Pods > Development Pods > react-native-tinykit.
To edit the Java or Kotlin files, open example/android in Android studio and find the source files at react-native-tinykit under Android.
You can use various commands from the root directory to work with the project.
To start the packager:
yarn example startTo run the example app on Android:
yarn example androidTo run the example app on iOS:
yarn example iosTo confirm that the app is running with the new architecture, you can check the Metro logs for a message like this:
Running "TinykitExample" with {"fabric":true,"initialProps":{"concurrentRoot":true},"rootTag":1}Note the "fabric":true and "concurrentRoot":true properties.
Make sure your code passes TypeScript:
yarn typecheckTo check for linting errors, run the following:
yarn lintTo fix formatting errors, run the following:
yarn lint --fixEach native feature has its own directory in src, named to match the feature
in ios and the react-native-tinykit.features configuration:
src/
index.ts
Alert/index.ts
ColorPicker/index.ts
Confetti/index.ts
Haptics/index.ts
KeepAwake/index.tsx
Mail/index.ts
Restart/index.ts
Review/index.ts
ThermalState/index.ts
Toast/index.ts
Translation/index.ts
utils/
NativeTinykit.ts
getNativeTinykit.ts
index.ts contains the root public exports. Feature directories contain their
JavaScript API wrappers, hooks and components. utils/NativeTinykit.ts keeps
the TurboModule specification and its Codegen types together;
utils/getNativeTinykit.ts handles lazy module access and feature availability.
Codegen scans only src/utils.
Public subpath imports remain lowercase and use hyphens, such as
react-native-tinykit/color-picker. When adding or moving a feature, update all
three package.json export targets (source, types, default) as well as
the root exports.
Run the public API regression checks with yarn test:overlays. To check optional
Pod selection and the upstream Git release pins, run
ruby tests/overlay_pods_test.rb using the same Ruby environment as CocoaPods
(for example, rbenv exec ruby tests/overlay_pods_test.rb).
For the example app, run pod install from example/ios, then
yarn example start and yarn example ios from the repository root. The Metro
configuration uses the standard port and watches the library through
react-native-monorepo-config. yarn example build:ios builds in Debug mode.
For a simulator-only build without launching Metro or signing:
xcodebuild -workspace example/ios/TinykitExample.xcworkspace \
-scheme TinykitExample -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator \
-destination 'generic/platform=iOS Simulator' CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NOWe use release-it to make it easier to publish new versions. It handles common tasks like bumping version based on semver, creating tags and releases etc.
To publish new versions, run the following:
yarn releaseThe package.json file contains various scripts for common tasks:
yarn: setup project by installing dependencies.yarn typecheck: type-check files with TypeScript.yarn lint: lint files with ESLint.yarn example start: start the Metro server for the example app.yarn example android: run the example app on Android.yarn example ios: run the example app on iOS.

When you're sending a pull request:
- Prefer small pull requests focused on one change.
- Verify that linters and tests are passing.
