2022 was the most thrilling year for React Native developer tools to date. The Metro bundler team at Meta increased in size and outlined exciting plans to enhance performance, speed, and reliability in React Native. Expo collaborated closely with the Metro team to significantly improve the possibilities of bundling in React Native, resulting in Metro for web and the first file-based routing solution for native apps, Expo Router.
The Microsoft team open sourced RNX Kit, which includes a suite of tools that they use to improve the stability and correctness of their extensive React Native app collection. Established tools like Ignite CLI and npx react-native continue to improve in both reliability and developer experience. Expo CLI underwent a ground-up rewrite to the versioned npx expo to provide better CI compatibility, project longevity, and establish Prebuild as the long-term alternative to Ejecting. The momentum of React Native dev tools is stronger than ever, and 2023 is expected to be even more exciting.
