v2.0.0

We are really proud to announce a new major version of this boilerplate 🎉

After many apps deployed with the V1, experience gives us the necessary perspective to improve some parts.

One of the global new features is the elegant usage directly within the React Native CLI, thanks to the ---template option of the react-native init script.
No more complication with some cloning or renaming. Just one command :

npx react-native init MyApp --template @thecodingmachine/react-native-boilerplate

The main goal of this boilerplate is to “Keep it simple”. That’s why :

What has been added :

• React hooks
• A new (work in progress) online documentation
• Redux Toolkit and a redux builder helper to manage classic stores
• Flipper debugger (with React-Native and Redux debugger)
• i18n implementation

What has been updated :

• React-Native (latest version of all dependencies)
• React Navigation
• Redux architecture (no more Saga, but the usage of Thunk with the Redux Toolkit)
• The Theme directory
• Root navigation with inline require
• Simplify the whole code
• Simplify the whole usage

What has been removed :

• Redux-Saga
• The rename dependency
• Redux sauce

If you need some explanation about “why” we made some choices, don’t hesitate to create an issue. It’s always important to discuss it, and we are open to suggestions.
