@martinklepsch Full blown XCode, sometimes you have to open it up to change sone obscure setting… Starting an RN project?

@vikeri yeah, wanna play around a bit to get a feel, "just in case... " 😄

@vikeri thanks 🙂

@martinklepsch Alright, sounds good! Welcome to the group! We have some trouble with RN 0.39 that we probably need some boot-fu to solve 😉

yeah happy to contribute if I get into it 🙂

"We" you and your team or the boot-react-native peeps/maintainers?

@vikeri ^

boot-react-native peeps

👍

yeah, so hope to get into it but probably I'll delay until end of next week because that's when I'll get my new comp and I don't want to setup/download all that stuff now to do it again in a week 😄

@martinklepsch Sweet!

@martinklepsch unfortunately you need the full xcode, no way around it today for ios development

I don't open XCode itself very often (I use react-native run-ios), but sometimes you do need it as @vikeri mentions

@jorda0mega, unfortunately no docs, but I can possibly explain things here if you have a specific question

I'm also curious about the role of .babelrc

@jorda0mega @pesterhazy About .babelrc, it is found by the react native packager and then used when transpiling the (optionally ES6) code to JSCore compliant js. The .babelrc that I added to boot-react-native sped up my compilation a lot since it ignores all the output from the cljs compiler which is already ES3.

so I’m curious to know if I can add babel plugins to .babelrc for additional transforms (e.g es6 decorators)?

what benefit would you expect from that jorda0mega ?

well I was running into an issue with decorators being used in ex-navigation and kept getting an error during the transform

so I was wondering if that would be a viable approach or if there is another way

@jorda0mega I think you can add your own preset

https://github.com/exponentjs/ex-navigation/blob/master/example/.babelrc

@vikeri interesting. let me try with that preset. but just so that I understand better, only the react-native-packager makes use of .babelrc right?

so basically boot transforms cljs code into es3 js. then react-native-packager picks up this code transforms it through babel (if needed)?

@jorda0mega Correct!

@vikeri @pesterhazy sweet. thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it!

@jorda0mega No worries 🙂

let us know if it works

I might migrate to ex-navigation myself so then you’ll have to return the favor 😉

haha for sure. hopefully I'll know what I'm doing then 😝
