react-native-version

Seamlessly shadows the behaviour of npm version.

npm-scripts hook (automatic method)

Setup

npm install react-native-version --save

Hook into the "postversion" npm script in your app's package.json:

{
	"name": "AwesomeProject",
	"version": "0.0.1",
	"private": true,
	"scripts": {
		"start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start",
		"postversion": "react-native-version"
	},
	// ...
}

Usage

Before you publish a new build of your app, run npm version <newVersion>.

react-native-version will then update your android/ and ios/ code and automatically amend the version bump commit created by npm version. This method should be useful for most cases. If you need more control, take a look at the CLI and options below.

CLI

Setup

npm install -g react-native-version

Example

cd AwesomeProject/
npm version patch
react-native-version

Options

-h, --help                output usage information
-a, --amend               Amend the previous commit. This is done automatically when react-native-version is run from the "postversion" npm script. Use "--never-amend" if you never want to amend.
-A, --never-amend         Never amend the previous commit
-b, --increment-build     Only increment build number
-d, --android [path]      Path to your "app/build.gradle" file
-i, --ios [path]          Path to your "Info.plist" file
-t, --target <platforms>  Only version specified platforms, eg. "--target android,ios"

You can apply these options to the "postversion" script too. If for example you want to commit the changes made by RNV yourself, add the "--never-amend" option:

{
	// ...
	"scripts": {
		"postversion": "react-native-version --never-amend"
	},
	// ...
}

Targeting platforms

The default behaviour is to version all React Native platforms. You can target specific platforms by passing a comma-separated list to the "--target" option, or by using the RNV environment variable:

RNV=android,ios npm version patch
# or
RNV=android,ios react-native-version

When using the CLI, you can even combine both methods and make your teammates rage 😈 :

RNV=android react-native-version --target ios
