Usage

This metro asset plugin is solely of use to Electrode Native bundlestore upload command.

This command needs to be aware of the assets present in the application being bundled as it has to upload assets alongside the bundle to the bundle store server. Because Electrode Native is using metro for creating bundles, the only way to know which assets are present in the application being bundled is through metro.

During bundling, the metro packager will relay metadata of all assets it processes, to all registered metro asset plugins. This plugin does not transform assets. It only propagates the metadata of detected assets to Electrode Native through a local socket during bundlestore upload command execution. This way, the command is made aware of all assets locations and can package assets alongside bundle to be uploaded to the bundle store server.
