SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires nitrogen, typescript, react-native, react-native-nitro-modules, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the complexity and manual effort involved in building React Native Nitro Modules. It simplifies the process of creating Nitro Modules with Nitrogen, TypeScript HybridObject specs, native code generation, and platform-specific implementations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Nitrogen Scaffold: Automatically scaffold a monorepo with Nitrogen for consistent and efficient module development.
  • HybridObject Specs: Author TypeScript specs for Nitro Objects, specifying their public APIs and native implementations.
  • Native Code Generation: Generate native code from TypeScript specs for iOS and Android platforms.
  • Platform Implementations: Implement native functionality for React Native Nitro Modules in Swift, Kotlin, and C++.
  • Use Case: If you're developing a React Native library that requires native modules, this Skill helps you create the necessary Nitro Modules, including the TypeScript specs, native code, and example apps.

Quick Start

Run the Nitrogen scaffold command to begin building your Nitro Module: nitrogen@latest init react-native-math

FAQPage Schema
How do I create React Native Nitro Modules using TypeScript specs?

To create React Native Nitro Modules, you author TypeScript HybridObject specs to define public APIs, then use Nitrogen to automatically generate the corresponding native iOS and Android code. This streamlines module creation by automating scaffold and code generation processes.

What is the best way to scaffold a Nitro Module monorepo for React Native?

The best way to scaffold a Nitro Module monorepo is by running the Nitrogen init command. This automatically sets up the consistent monorepo structure needed for efficient native module development alongside your React Native library.

Do I need Swift and Kotlin to implement React Native Nitro Modules?

Yes, you need Swift, Kotlin, and C++ toolchains to implement React Native Nitro Modules. After generating native code from your TypeScript specs, you must write platform-specific implementations for iOS and Android using these native languages.

How does Nitrogen generate native code from TypeScript specs?

Nitrogen generates native code by reading your TypeScript HybridObject specs, which define the public API, and automatically producing the corresponding platform-specific native code for iOS and Android to bridge JavaScript and native environments.

Can I use Nitro Modules for a React Native library requiring native code?

Yes, Nitro Modules are specifically designed for developing React Native libraries that require native modules. They handle the TypeScript specs, native code generation, and platform implementations needed to support native functionality in your library.

What are the limitations of using Nitrogen for React Native native module generation?

Nitrogen requires relevant native toolchains, including Swift, Kotlin, and C++, for code generation and implementation. It is limited to libraries requiring Nitro support and native modules, meaning you cannot use it effectively without the proper native development environments configured.
