Move to a single index.js entry point

[whimsicaldreamer]

React-native has moved the entry points for android and ios to a single index.js entry point. But using the extension for react-native-windows I am still getting index.windows.js in my project folder. Any views on it?

The changes to react-native are here: facebook/react-native#15312

Thanks @whimsicaldreamer. I'll take a look at this.

Thanks for the speedy changes. How do I update my project to use the changes?

@whimsicaldreamer easiest way to do this would be to just trash your current react-native-windows project.

cd myapp
rd /s /q windows
del index.windows.js

And then re-run react-native windows to regenerate the project template. Unfortunately this means you'll have to re-link your native plugins if you've done any of that. We need to support something like react-native-git-upgrade better (see #1358)

@rozele, I re-ran react-native windows and it produced the single entry point perfectly but can we remove the App.windows.js file so that we can use the App.js file for all three platforms. Looking at the current index.js, it isn't importing App.windows.js' but only App.js`. Pardon me if my question is naive as I am new to react-native.

Should this issue be re-opened? I just created a fresh project and there is still a App.windows.js file along with a App.js file? I understand that is different from the index - but would it make sense to consolidate the App file too?
