metro-bundler-cli

library1.0.7jsnpmunverified

A CLI tool extending the official Metro bundler to enable bundle splitting for React Native applications. Version 1.0.7 uses hash-based module IDs (content + path) for stability across projects, unlike the official incremental IDs or module-name-based approaches. It supports generating base and business bundles to optimize loading times. Stable module IDs are optional (use-stable-id flag). The tool is primarily for advanced React Native developers needing code splitting beyond Metro's defaults. No regular release cadence; appears maintained but not actively updated.

✓ import metroBundlerCli from 'metro-bundler-cli'

✗ const metroBundlerCli = require('metro-bundler-cli')

The package is a CLI tool, not a library. Importing it programmatically is uncommon; typically used via command line.

Shows how to generate a business bundle excluding a base bundle manifest, using stable IDs.

npx metro-bundler bundle --entry-file index.js --bundle-output dist/business.jsbundle --assets-dest dist --platform ios --dev false --use-stable-id true --manifest-output dist/business.manifest.json --exclude dist/base.manifest.json

metro-bundler-cli --version

Debug

Known issues

gotchaStable module ID is not the default behavior; you must explicitly set --use-stable-id true.

fix

Add --use-stable-id true to the CLI command.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedPackage has not been updated since 2018; may not be compatible with newer React Native or Metro versions.
