React Native Directory

React Native Directory is a website where you can see all the libraries that are compatible with React Native.

Website: https://reactnative.directory/

How do I know I'm at the right place?

• You made a repository on GitHub and you want the world to know it works with React Native.
• You want to submit a pull request to improve React Native Directory.
• You want to report a bug or make a suggestion.

I don't like your website, can I hit an API instead and build my own better stuff?

Sure, go for it!

}

Please skip the false values and do not fill optional fields, unless it's necessary.

Field descriptions

• githubUrl - (required string) - URL to the GitHub repository (currently other git hosts are not supported).
• npmPkg - (optional string) - npm package name (fill only when the GitHub repository name is different from the name of package published to npm).
• nameOverride - (optional string) - display name override (fill only when it is different from the GitHub repository name and npm package name).
• examples - (optional array of strings) - URLs to example projects (Snacks preferred) or with demonstrations of the library.

• web - (optional boolean) - can be used with react-native-web.

• macos - (optional boolean) - can be used with react-native-macos.
• unmaintained - (optional boolean) - signify that a library is not maintained.

Note: If your package is within a monorepo on GitHub, eg: https://github.com/expo/expo/tree/master/packages/expo-web-browser, then the name, description, homepage, and topics (keywords) will be extracted from package.json for that subrepo. GitHub stats will be based on the monorepo, because there isn't really another option.

How do I run my own version locally?
