React Native Directory

React Native Directory is a website where you can see all the libraries that are compatible with React Native.

Powered by Vercel

How do I know I'm at the right place?

  • You made a repository on GitHub and you want the world to know it works with React Native.
  • You want to submit a pull request to improve React Native Directory or libraries dataset.
  • You want to report a bug or make a suggestion.

How do I update the data for a library?

How do I add a library?

Library fields description

βš™οΈ General

  • ❗ githubUrl (required)

    (string) - URL to the package GitHub repository (currently other Git hosts are not supported).

    Package also needs to be published to the NPM registry, because it is a source of crucial data for the directory.

  • npmPkg

    (string) - npm package name, by default GitHub repository name will be used. Example: "@expo/react-native-action-sheet".

    Fill only when the GitHub repository name is different from the name of package published to npm, or the package is a part of monorepo.

  • examples

    (array of strings) - URLs to example projects or Snacks which demonstrates the library.

  • images

    (array of strings) - URLs to static images or GIFs that shows the library functionality.

    Please do not add logotypes or other branding material, and please avoid linking multiple resources which shows the same feature.

πŸ“± Platforms

  • android

    (boolean) - works on Android device.

  • ios

    (boolean) - works on iOS device.

  • web

    (boolean) - can be used with react-native-web.

  • expoGo

    (boolean) - works with Expo Go β€” an open-source sandbox app, without using dev clients or prebuild.

Note

Any library can be used with Expo, if you use dev clients and prebuild.

πŸ–₯️ Out-of-tree Platforms

Important

Adding out-of-tree platforms support requires an example or link to the app which uses the library on the given platform.

🏷️ Tags

  • unmaintained

    (boolean) - signify that a library is no longer maintained. You can provide alternative or replacement libraries with the alternatives field, if needed.

  • dev

    (boolean) - signify that a library is a development tool or is only a part of development process.

  • template

    (boolean) - signify that a library is a new project template.

  • newArchitecture

    (boolean) - signify that a library supports, or not, the New Architecture. Skipping the field will result in "untested" status, unless automatic support detection returned a result. You can provide additional context with the newArchitectureNote field, if needed.

    Set this tag only when automatic architecture detection fails for your package, despite it supports the New Architecture.

πŸ“ Additional context for tags

  • newArchitectureNote

    (string) - provide a note for the New Architecture support status, if a boolean "true" or "false" is not sufficient to describe the state of New Architecture support.

  • alternatives

    (array of strings) - provide a list of alternatives to the library. eg: ["expo-camera", "react-native-vision-camera"]. This is used to provide a list of alternatives to a library if it is unmaintained or does not support the New Architecture.


Note

If your package is within a monorepo on GitHub, eg: https://github.com/expo/expo/tree/main/packages/expo-web-browser, then the name, description, homepage, and topics (keywords) will be extracted from package.json in the package subdirectory. However, GitHub stats will be based on the monorepo, because there isn't really another option.

How do I run my own version locally?

Prerequisites

  • Node LTS

Commands

yarn && yarn start

You should be able to visit localhost:3000 in your browser.

How do I run yarn data:update with keys?

This command creates site data in ./assets/data.json

GITHUB_TOKEN=<*> yarn data:update

How do I deploy to production?

Get a commit on main and it will be automatically deployed.

I don't like your website, can I hit an API instead and build my own better stuff?

Sure, go for it!
