config
Query for a package's configuration.
Configuration influences how the CLI behaves. If you're not using the CLI, and instead using a specific tool programmatically, you can use this library to read configuration data and use it as tool input.
Schema
Package configuration is under the top-level rnx-kit entry in package.json. It
is of type KitConfig.
KitConfig
Configuration information for an rnx-kit package. This is retrieved from 'rnx-kit' in package.json.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| kitType | "app" | "library" | undefined | Library or App package. Used by the dependency manager when projecting capabilities into dependencies, devDependencies, and peerDependencies. Library package dependencies are private, in dev and peer. App package dependencies are public. |
| reactNativeVersion | string | undefined | React Native version (or range) which this package supports. |
| reactNativeDevVersion | string | undefined | React Native version to use during development of this package. If not specified, the minimum reactNativeVersion is used. |
| bundle | BundleConfig | BundleConfig[] | undefined | Specifies how the package is bundled. |
| server | ServerConfig | undefined | Specifies how the package's bundle server is configured. |
| capabilities | Capability[] | undefined | List of capabilities that this package needs. A capability is a well-known name (string). |
| customProfiles | string | undefined | Path to a file containing custom profiles. |
BundleConfig inherits BundleParameters
Defines how a package is bundled. Includes shared bundling parameters with platform-specific overrides.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id | string | undefined | Unique identifier for this bundle definition. Only used as a reference within the build system. |
| targets | AllPlatforms[] | undefined | The platform(s) for which this package may be bundled. |
| platforms | Record<AllPlatforms, BundleDefinition> | undefined | Platform-specific overrides for bundling parameters. Any parameter not listed in an override gets its value from the shared bundle definition, or falls back to defaults. |
AllPlatforms
Union of: "ios", "android", "windows", "win32", "macos"
BundleParameters
Parameters controlling how a bundle is constructed.
