🚇 The JavaScript bundler for React Native.

  • 🚅 Fast: We aim for sub-second reload cycles, fast startup and quick bundling speeds.
  • ⚖️ Scalable: Works with thousands of modules in a single application.
  • ⚛️ Integrated: Supports every React Native project out of the box.

Installation

Metro is included with React Native — see the React Native docs to quickly get started ⏱️.

To add Metro to an existing project, see our Getting Started guide.

Documentation

All available documentation, including on configuring Metro, can be found on the Metro website.

Source code for documentation is located in this repository under docs/.

Contributing

Metro was previously part of the react-native repository. In this standalone repository it is easier for the team working on Metro to respond to issues and pull requests. See react-native#13976 for the initial announcement.
