A boilerplate for building mobile apps with React Native and Meteor, providing opinionated configuration to get started quickly.
React Native Meteor Boilerplate is a starter template for building mobile applications with React Native as the frontend and Meteor as the backend. It provides a pre-configured project structure with separate directories for the React Native app and Meteor server, streamlining the initial setup process. The boilerplate is designed to help developers quickly start building while remaining flexible enough for customization.
Mobile developers who want to build cross-platform iOS and Android applications using React Native with a Meteor backend. It is particularly useful for developers familiar with Meteor who are extending their full-stack JavaScript applications to mobile.
Developers choose this boilerplate because it offers an opinionated yet flexible foundation that eliminates the initial configuration overhead of connecting React Native to Meteor. It provides sensible defaults and clear setup instructions for both platforms, allowing teams to focus on building features rather than infrastructure.
This project provides a starter template for developers building mobile applications using React Native with Meteor as the backend. It offers pre-configured setup to streamline development while remaining flexible enough to customize according to project needs.
The boilerplate is designed to help developers quickly start building React Native apps with Meteor, offering an opinionated but flexible foundation that can be adapted to different project requirements.

Pre-configured directories for React Native ('RNApp') and Meteor ('MeteorApp') with dependencies installed, reducing initial configuration overhead as shown in the 'Getting Started' section.
Provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for running on iOS and Android simulators and devices, including IP address configuration for device testing, as outlined in the README.
Opinionated but easily customizable; the README states it's 'very easy to swap things out and move them around however you see fit,' allowing adaptation to project needs.
Includes configuration files like 'settings.js' in 'RNApp/app/config/' to connect the React Native frontend to the Meteor backend, simplifying the initial integration process.
The boilerplate only sets up the React Native side; the Meteor app is empty, requiring developers to build the backend from scratch, as admitted: 'the Meteor side is up to you.'
Running on physical devices necessitates manually changing IP addresses in configuration files, which is error-prone and adds complexity, especially for network-varying environments.
Lacks advanced features like authentication, state management, or UI components, making it more of a skeleton starter rather than a comprehensive solution.
iOS development is restricted to Mac, as noted in the README ('Note: You must be on a Mac for this'), excluding developers on other operating systems.
