React Native enables you to build world-class application experiences on native platforms using a consistent developer experience based on JavaScript and React. The focus of React Native is on developer efficiency across all the platforms you care about - learn once, write anywhere. Facebook uses React Native in multiple production apps and will continue investing in React Native.
This repository adds support for the Windows 10 SDK, which allows you to build apps for:
- Windows 10
- Windows 10 Mobile
- Xbox One (UWP)

- Install react-native-windows from NPM (i.e.,
npm i react-native-windows --save). - (Coming Soon) Initialize Windows project with
react-native windowscommand. - Learn more about various tools for debugging React Native.
In addition to the requirements from the Getting Started guide:
If this is your first time using UWP, you may be able to install the SDK by opening the solution file in the ReactWindows folder in Visual Studio. After opening the solution, right click the Solution in the Solution Explorer and select the option labeled "Install Missing Components". You may have to shutdown Visual Studio to continue the installation.
