React Native Version

A Composite GitHub Action for version bump in package.json, respective Android and iOS files along with generating GitHub release.

Working

Version bump in package.json, iOS, and Android config-related files is an important step in the react-native CI/CD pipeline. This action is composed of the following steps:

• paramsinghvc/gh-action-bump-version@master - Based on the commit messages, it increments the version in package.json
• npx react-native-version - This command sync the latest version in iOS and Android build/config files
• EndBug/add-and-commit@v9 - Commit changes made in your workflow run directly to your repo
• marvinpinto/action-automatic-releases@latest - Generate a new release by automatically uploading assets, generating changelogs, handling pre-releases, and so on.

Usage

You can look at the repo react-native-sample-app to see this action working. The workflow kicks in when changes are pushed to main, but you can configure the event trigger yourself. Next is to checkout the code, setup node, install yarn (if you are using it), then install node_modules, and lastly call nabeel-shakeel/react-native-version action with the required input GITHUB_SECRET.

You can provide all the inputs supported by the packaged actions as json in supported_parameters. In this example, we have used tag-prefix, tag-suffix input provided by paramsinghvc/gh-action-bump-version action and automatic_release_tag provided by marvinpinto/action-automatic-releases

The GitHub Actions framework allows you to trigger this (and other) actions on many combinations of events. In context of react-native CI/CD pipeline, you can use

• Trigger CI/CD flow when changes land in the production branch

on:

on:
  push:
