Step-by-step guide to set up RNJet, the production-ready React Native boilerplate CLI. Run npx @jonathantri/rnjet init and bootstrap your full app in seconds.

Installation

Requirements

Before running RNJet, make sure you have the React Native development environment set up on your machine.

Node.js 18+
React Native CLI environment (official guide)
For iOS: macOS with Xcode installed
For Android: Android Studio with an emulator or physical device

Create a New Project

Run the following command and follow the interactive prompts:

npx @jonathantri/rnjet init

RNJet will ask you for:

1. App Display Name (e.g. My App): — the name shown on your home screen
2. Project Name (PascalCase) (e.g. MyApp): — used for native project references
3. Folder Name (kebab-case) (e.g. my-app): — the root directory name
4. Bundle Identifier (e.g. com.example.myapp): — unique identifier for your app on stores
5. Install dependencies? — whether to automatically install npm packages

Once confirmed, it will scaffold the full project structure, install dependencies, and set up environments automatically.
