Updating to newer versions

[xzilja]

Whats the correct way to update react-native-firebase ? I usually yarn add react-native-firebase and then react-native link is this correct way to approach this?

Update as in switching versions​, say alpha5 to alpha6? If so, you only need to update the npm module, no need to re link every time.

If you've already installed the module, simply follow the following:

1. Update package.json to new version.
2. Re-run the start command (node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start).
3. Re-install/run your build for the platform (react-native run-android/run-ios).

@Ehesp @Salakar thanks guys. So native side of the code isn't updated at all, just curious now, as I saw libraries like https://github.com/yutin1987/react-native-bridge-firebase where it has quiet a lot of native side implementation. In the future if you change something there, will simple re-linking solve the issue?
