React Native macOS (ex react-native-desktop)
React Native for macOS is an experimental fork for writing desktop apps using Cocoa.
<View>
<Button onPress={() => alert('clicked!')} />
</View>
Getting Started
Node 4.x+, OS X 10.11+ required.
Previous React Native experience is highly recommended.
$ npm install react-native-macos-cli -g
$ react-native-macos init MyProject
$ cd MyProject
$ react-native-macos run-macos
If you want to add macOS target to the existing iOS/Android/Windows project, make the steps above, merge this new folder into your current React Native project, then put rn-cli.config.js in the root.
