example

Example

A simple express.js app running in a background node.js process, which the React Native app can talk to through HTTP requests to localhost.

Install

yarn

(note: after this you should also run react-native link react-native-node, but in this example we already ran that for you)

Build the background process

Run npm run build or follow these steps manually:

The node.js project is in the directory /background, you need to install its node_modules separately from the node_modules for your React Native project:

cd background
yarn
cd ..

react-native-node insert ./background

(or ./node_modules/.bin/react-native-node insert ./background)

Run

react-native run-android
