react-native-config Windows Implementation

Module Installation

You can either use autolinking on react-native-windows 0.63 and later or manually link the module on earlier realeases.

Automatic install with autolinking on RNW >= 0.63

RNCConfig supports autolinking. Just call: npm i react-native-config --save

Manual installation on RNW >= 0.62

1. npm install react-native-config --save
2. Open your solution in Visual Studio 2019 (eg. windows\yourapp.sln)
3. Right-click Solution icon in Solution Explorer > Add > Existing Project...
4. Add node_modules\react-native-config\windows\RNCConfig\RNCConfig.vcxproj
5. Right-click main application project > Add > Reference...
6. Select RNCConfig in Solution Projects
7. In app pch.h add #include "winrt/RNCConfig.h"
8. In App.cpp add PackageProviders().Append(winrt::RNCConfig::ReactPackageProvider()); before InitializeComponent();

Manual installation on RNW 0.61

Do the same steps as for 0.62, but use node_modules\RNCConfig\windows\RNCConfig61\RNCConfig.vcxproj in step 4.

Module development

If you want to contribute to this module Windows implementation, first you must install the Windows Development Dependencies.

You must temporary install react-native-windows package. Versions of react-native-windows and react-native must match. E.g. if the moudule uses [email protected], install npm i react-native-windows@^0.62 --dev.

Now, you will be able to open corresponding RNCConfig...sln file, e.g. RNCConfig62.sln for [email protected].
