A standalone port of react-native/SampleAppMovies, for educational purposes.
This project is dedicated for react-native performance case studying, it is a standalone port of Movies app.

npm install
react-native run-android or through Android Studio
Original readme (from this commit)
The Movies app is a demonstration of basic concepts, such as fetching data, rendering a list of data including images, and navigating between different screens.
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Mac OS and Xcode are required.
- Open
Examples/Movies/Movies.xcodeprojin Xcode - Hit the Run button
See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :Examples:Movies:android:app:installDebug
./packager/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the Movies app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Follow the same setup as running with gradle.
Install Buck from here.
Run the following commands from the react-native folder:
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch movies
buck install -r movies
./packager/packager.sh
Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
