Config variables for React Native apps

Module to expose config variables to your javascript code in React Native, supporting both iOS and Android.

Bring some 12 factor love to your mobile apps!

Usage

Declare config variables in .env:

API_URL=https://myapi.com
LOG_ERRORS=true

Then access from your app:

import Config from 'react-native-config'

Config.API_URL     // 'https://myapi.com'
Config.SHOW_ERRORS // 'true'

Setup

Install the package:

$ npm install react-native-config --save

Then follow the platform-specific instructions below:

iOS

Link the library with rnpm:

$ rnpm link react-native-config

Android

Include this module in android/settings.gradle:

include ':react-native-config'
include ':app'

project(':react-native-config').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir,
  '../node_modules/react-native-config/android')

Apply a plugin and add dependency to your app build, in android/app/build.gradle:

// 2nd line, add a new apply:
apply from: project(':react-native-config').projectDir.getPath() + "/dotenv.gradle"

// down below, add new compile:
dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':react-native-android-config')
}

Change your main activity to add a new package, in android/app/src/main/.../MainActivity.java:

import com.lugg.ReactNativeConfig.ReactNativeConfigPackage; // add import

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
    // ...

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
        return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
            new MainReactPackage(),
            new ReactNativeConfigPackage() // add package
        );
    }
