Nick Lockwood 81fb985335 Support non-image assets in packager
Summary:
public
The packager currently assumes that all assets that are not JSON or JS files must be images. Although it is possible to add other extension types, they crash the packager if you try to require them, because it attempts to get their dimensions, assuming that they are an image.

This is a crude workaround for that problem, which skips the image-specific processing for non-image assets, but really it would be better if the packager was properly aware of different asset types and treated them differently (e.g. for sounds it could include the duration, for HTML pages it could parse and include linked CSS files, etc).

I've also added an example of using `require('...')` to load a packager-managed HTML page in the UIExplorer WebView example. In future I anticipate that all static asset types (sounds, fonts, etc.) could be handled in this way, which allows them to be edited or added/removed on the fly instead of needing to restart the app.

UIExplorer

The UIExplorer is a sample app that showcases React Native views and modules.

Running this app

Before running the app, make sure you ran:

git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install

Running on iOS

Mac OS and Xcode are required.

  • Open Examples/UIExplorer/UIExplorer.xcodeproj in Xcode
  • Hit the Run button

See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.

Running on Android

You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.

Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).

cd react-native
./gradlew :Examples:UIExplorer:android:app:installDebug
./packager/packager.sh

Note: Building for the first time can take a while.

Open the UIExplorer app in your emulator.

See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.

Built from source

Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.

This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
