rn-bundler

library1.0.7jsnpmunverified

A CLI tool that extends the official React Native Metro bundler to support stable module IDs and bundle splitting. Version 1.0.7 provides hash-based module IDs (content + path) for more stable splits compared to incremental IDs or project-name-based approaches. Enables splitting into base and business bundles to reduce download/load times. Last release date unknown; appears to be in maintenance mode. Key differentiators: uses content hash for module IDs, avoids reliance on project name, and provides manifest-output and exclude options for split bundling.

Debug

Known issues

gotchaStable IDs are not the default; must explicitly pass --use-stable-id true to enable hash-based module IDs.

fix

Add --use-stable-id true to your bundle command.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThis tool is a thin wrapper over metro bundler; metro must be installed and configured in your project.

fix

Ensure react-native (which includes metro) is installed as a devDependency.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedThe package is no longer actively maintained; check for alternatives or use with caution.

fix

Consider migrating to a maintained bundler solution.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'metro'

metro-bundler-cli expects metro to be installed as a peer dependency.

fix

Install react-native or metro manually: npm install --save-dev metro

Error: --use-stable-id flag not recognized

The flag must be used with the bundled command; verify CLI version.

fix

Ensure you are using the global installed metro-bundler-cli (not metro directly).
