Development setup

For easier development and debugging purposes continue with the following steps:

Open a command prompt/terminal, navigate to src folder and run npm run demo.ios or npm run demo.android to run the demo.

Now go and make a change to your plugin. It will be automatically applied to the demo project.

Clean plugin and demo files

Sometimes you may need to wipe away all generated folders to reinstall them fresh. Run npm run clean to wipe those clean then you can can run plugin.prepare to install fresh dependencies.

Sometimes you just need to wipe out the demo's platforms, node_modules and hooks directory only. Run npm run demo.reset to delete those.
