Ignite - the battle-tested React Native boilerplate

GitHub Repo stars

Proven React Native boilerplate

The culmination of over seven years of constant React Native development, Ignite is the most popular React Native app boilerplate for both Expo and bare React Native.

This is the React Native boilerplate that the Infinite Red team uses on a day-to-day basis to build client apps. Developers who use Ignite report that it saves them two to four weeks of time on average off the beginning of their React Native project!

Intro Videos

Here are a few videos / talks that introduce Ignite and show off some of its features. Check them out!

Full Documentation

We've put great effort into the documentation as a team, please read through it here. If you're unsure why a certain decision was made related to this boilerplate or how to proceed with a particular feature, it's likely documented. If it still isn't clear, go through the proper help channels and we always welcome PRs to improve the docs!

Tech Stack

Ignite also comes with a component library that is tuned for custom designs, theming support, testing, custom fonts, generators, and much, much more.

Quick Start

Prerequisites:

You'll need at least a recent version of Node to run the CLI
For compiling/running in a simulator, make sure you're set up for React Native by following the official documentation.

The Ignite CLI will walk you through the steps to ignite a new React Native app:

# Get walked through the prompts for the different options to start your new app
npx ignite-cli@latest new PizzaApp

# Accept all the recommended defaults and get straight to coding!
npx ignite-cli@latest new PizzaApp --yes

Once you're up and running, check out our Getting Started Guide.

Troubleshooting

The above commands may fail with various errors, depending on your operating system and dependency versions. Some troubleshooting steps to follow:

Uninstall global versions of the Ignite CLI via npm uninstall -g ignite-cli and use the CLI via npx ignite-cli
Make sure you are using a reasonably recent version of Node. This can be checked via the node --version command. If you require multiple Node versions on your system, install nvm, and then run nvm install --lts. At the time of writing, Node LTS is v20.x.x.
If the installation fails because of an Xcode error (missing Xcode command line tools), the easiest way to install them is to run sudo xcode-select --install in your terminal.
If Xcode and command line tools are already installed, but the installation complains about missing patch dependencies, you may need to switch the Xcode location to something else: sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
Opening the project in Xcode can give you other insights into what's happening: open ./ios/.xcworkspace
Add the --debug switch to the Ignite CLI new command to provide additional output during project initialization
