Get Started Immediately

You don’t need to config new project more, we configured smart structure and you can implement this flow. They are preconfigured and hidden so that you can focus on the code.

Just create a project, and you’re good to go.

Creating an App

You’ll need to have Node 10.0 or later on your local development machine (but it’s not required on the server). You can use nvm (macOS/Linux) or nvm-windows to easily switch Node versions between different projects.

To create a new app, you may choose one of the following methods:

React

techfox-cli --init-react my-app

React Native

techfox-cli --init-react-native my-app

It will create a directory called my-app inside the current folder. Inside that directory, it will generate the initial project structure and install the transitive dependencies:

my-app

├── node_modules
├── package.json
├── .gitignore

No configuration or complicated folder structures, just the files you need to build your app. Once the installation is done, you can open your project folder:

cd my-app

Inside the newly created project, you can run some built-in commands:

npm start or yarn start

Runs the app in development mode.

npm test or yarn test

By default, runs tests related to files changed since the last commit. The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes. Your app is ready to be deployed.
