create-miniapp

Description

  • Create a new MiniApp in a new directory named after the MiniApp.

The generated MiniApp is a starter HelloWorld MiniApp that you can use to launch a standalone MiniApp on the iOS or Android platforms in our Runner—using the ern run-ios and ern run-android commands.

If you used react-native previously, you'll notice that the generated JavaScript react-native MiniApp is exactly the same react-native starter app as the one provided by react-native. A MiniApp is simply a react-native application. One of the differences with react-native is that we generate our own native projects which use a locally-generated ern container.

iOS and Android directories are not generated by this command. To generate those directories, run the ern run-ios or ern run-android commands.

Syntax

ern create-miniapp <appName>
