expo-chucker

A Chucker wrapper for Expo.

Kudos to ChuckerTeam for providing this great library. It allows HTTP(S) inspector on Android devices, useful for network debugging when in release mode. At the time I wrote this library, there's no easy way to integrate Chucker with React Native especially in Expo project.

This will ONLY works on Android, and there's no plan to support iOS, as the Chucker does.

Add the package to your npm dependencies

npm install expo-chucker

or

yarn add expo-chucker

Add the Expo config-plugin

Add the plugin to your app.json / app.config.ts file.

...
plugins: [
  'expo-chucker',
]

If you want to enable it only for staging, not the production build (obviously), there's an enabled props you can use. For example:

plugins: [
  [
    "expo-chucker",
    {
      enabled: process.env.APP_ENV === "staging", // Only enable Chucker on staging environment
    },
  ],
];

Don't forget to prebuild your app each time you made changes to the config.

Example App

1. Clone this repo
2. Run yarn install to install the dependencies
3. Run yarn build to build the expo plugin
4. Goto example directory
5. Run yarn install to install the dependencies for the example app
6. You need to have firebase project and get the google-services.json and GoogleService-Info.plist and put it in the example/ directory. This is required for testing the push notification feature crashed by chucker library (see here)
7. Run yarn prebuild to prebuild the app
8. Run yarn android to run the app on android device or emulator
