New react-native-app with react-native 0.59.9 or lower

What is the best/easiest way to create new react-native-app using react-native-0.59.9 or lower?

Trying to use https://github.com/futurepress/epubjs-rn , which only runs in react-native 0.59 or lower. The example app in https://github.com/futurepress/epubjs-rn/EpubReader does not work out of the box.

Solution

  • In order to start a new project with a specific React Native version, you can use the --version

    react-native init ProjectName --version="0.59.9"

    Check official documentation for more information.

    EDIT

    But in order to run an older version, you need to downgrade your React Native CLI version according to Compatibility of React Native CLI.

    If you have already installed a version of react-native CLI, uninstall it using

    npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

    Then you have to install an older version as below,

    npm install react-native-cli@1.0.0

    Hope this will help you.
