## Installation
- Using `react-native < 0.62`? install `react-native-restart@0.0.17`
- Using `0.71 > react-native >= 0.62`? install `react-native-restart@0.0.24`
- Using `react-native >= 0.71`? install `react-native-restart@0.0.27` and above
### With `yarn`
```bash
$ yarn add react-native-restart
```
### With `npm`
```bash
$ npm install --save react-native-restart
```
## Auto-Linking Setup (react-native >= 0.60)
### iOS
```bash
$ cd ios
$ pod install
```
### Android
No further steps should be taken
## Automatic Installation (Without Auto-Linking)
`react-native link react-native-restart` or `npm install -g rnpm && rnpm link react-native-restart`
## Manual Android Installation
In `android/settings.gradle`
```gradle
...
include ':react-native-restart'
project(':react-native-restart').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-restart/android')
```
In `android/app/build.gradle`
```gradle
...
dependencies {
...
implementation project(':react-native-restart')
}
```
Register module (in `MainApplication.java`)
```java
import com.reactnativerestart.RestartPackage; // <--- Import
public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {
......
/**
* A list of packages used by the app. If the app uses additional views
* or modules besides the default ones, add more packages here.
*/
@Override
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
...
return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
new MainReactPackage(),
new RestartPackage() // Add this line
);
}
};
......
};
```
## Manual iOS Installation
### Importing The Library
* Drag the file `Restart.xcodeproj` from `/node_modules/react-native-restart/ios` into the `Libraries` group in the Project navigator. Ensure that `Copy items if needed` is UNCHECKED!


* Ensure that `libRestart.a` is linked through `Link Binary With Libraries` on `Build Phases`:

* Ensure that `Header Search Paths` on `Build Settings` has the path `$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-restart` set to `recursive`:
* You're All Set!
## CocoaPod iOS Installation
In your `ios/Podfile` make sure to use `react-native-restart` from the local
`node_modules/`. With that, only your project Pod needs to be linked and
no extra configuration is required:
```ruby
target 'MyReactApp' do
# Make sure you're also using React-Native from ../node_modules
pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native', :subspecs => [
'Core',
'RCTActionSheet',
# ... whatever else you use
]
# React-Native dependencies such as yoga:
pod 'yoga', path: '../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga'
# The following line uses react-native-restart, linking with
# the library and setting the Header Search Paths for you
pod 'react-native-restart', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-restart'
end
```
Remember to run `cd ios && pod install` to update files used by Xcode.
## Usage
```javascript
import RNRestart from 'react-native-restart'; // Import package from node modules
// Immediately reload the React Native Bundle
RNRestart.Restart(); // Deprecated
RNRestart.restart();
```

## Credits
Thanks to Microsoft CodePush library. I simply extracted the code from their library's logic to reload the React Native Bundle.
