Gradle, npm, react-native - How are they related?
By: Farida in Android Tutorials on 2023-04-03
Gradle is a build automation tool that is commonly used in Java and Android development. It is designed to manage the dependencies and build processes of projects.
React Native is a framework for building mobile applications using JavaScript and React. It allows developers to create native mobile apps for both iOS and Android platforms from a single codebase.
NPM (Node Package Manager) is a package manager for Node.js, which is used for installing and managing packages and dependencies in a Node.js project.
In the context of React Native development, Gradle is typically used to build and package the Android version of the app. Gradle manages the dependencies and builds the app's code into an APK (Android Package) file that can be installed on Android devices.
NPM is used to manage the JavaScript dependencies in the project. React Native projects typically use many third-party libraries and packages, which are installed and managed using NPM.
In summary, while Gradle is used for building the Android version of a React Native app, NPM is used for managing the JavaScript dependencies in the project. They serve different purposes but are both important tools in the React Native development process.
