About:
The React Native CLI is a command-line interface tool used to initialize, develop, and maintain React Native projects. It provides essential commands for bootstrapping new applications, generating native module templates, and managing project assets. While the broader ecosystem has largely moved to Expo, this tool remains a foundational utility for managing standard React Native workflows.
Key Features:
  • Initialize new projects with default templates
  • Generate native module bridges for iOS and Android
  • Link native dependencies and assets
  • Run and build applications on simulators and devices
Use Cases:
  • Scaffolding a new React Native application from scratch
  • Creating custom native modules to interface with platform-specific APIs
Alternatives:
  • Expo CLI – Offers a more modern, zero-config development experience with built-in bundling and publishing.
  • Create React Native App (CRNA) – A wrapper that simplifies the initial setup process.
