#Getting Started

Choose your path based on your current situation:

#New React Native Project

To create a new React Native project with Rock:

npm create rock@latest

The command will ask you to pick your preferred bundler and platforms.

#Migrate from Community CLI

If you have an existing React Native project using Community CLI:

npm create rock@latest

This will automatically detect your existing project and guide you through the migration process.

#Add to Existing Native Project

For iOS/Android teams wanting to add React Native to existing apps, see our Brownfield documentation for step-by-step instructions.

#Usage

Now that you have Rock configured, you should be able to use Metro's or Re.Pack's development server and bundle your application.

#Running development server

When developing your application, you'll need to run a dev server that will use a bundler like Metro or Re.Pack to bundle your JS and later serve it to an app running on a device or simulator.

To start the development server, run:

npm rock start

#Running the iOS app

To build and run your app on an iOS simulator or device, run the run:ios command:

npm rock run:ios

#Running the Android app

To build and run your app on an Android emulator or device, run the run:android command:

npm rock run:android
