Purpose of cli-rn is to simplify and accelerate the process of React Native App development. It is not a replacer for react-native cli but a good addition!

Quick start

> npx cli-rn new App

# or install it globally first
> npm i -g cli-rn
> cli-rn new App

It will generate a new production-ready Expo (React Native) App bootstrapped from expo-starter.

For React Native Navigation (by Wix) setup:

> cli-rn new App -t rnn

For React Navigation (w/out Expo) setup:

> cli-rn new App -t rn

Example with all possible options:

> cli-rn new App -b com.company.App -t expo

> cli-rn new --help

Usage: cli-rn new [options] <App>

Generates a new production ready React Native App. Try it: > cli-rn new app
