A set of commands and libraries for working within the Expo repository.
Expotools is a CLI and library that contains internal Expo tooling. It is used as a library in CI and as a CLI to:
- Test and develop CI locally
- Run tests locally
- Assist with the release process
Run bundle install in the root to install all required Ruby gems.
To support versioning react-native for Android, patchelf is required. On macOS, could run brew install patchelf to install.
Run expotools or et from the Expo repository to run the latest version of expotools. This automatically rebuilds the code according to the latest sources.
For example, running et --help will display all the available commands.
Build the code once using yarn build.
yarn watch will watch for code changes and rebuild the code each time you save. The standard workflow for developing expotools is to leave yarn watch open in one tab and run ./bin/expotools COMMAND in the other. Running ./bin/expotools avoids the update check that happens when calling expotools or et.
