aws-exports.js file missing

See original GitHub issue

Consider a new react-native application… Follow along the instructions, I am trying to add Authentication.

The instructions say:

The ./src/aws-exports.js file that’s created has all of the appropriate cloud resources defined for your application.

Alas, I do not see any such aws-exports.js file being created!

I am using @aws-amplify/cli @1.6.1, Node 10.15.0, NPM 6.4.1, MacOS 10.14.4.

Hey @awhitford,

During amplify init which platform did you select in the list of iOS, Android, and Javascript?

Also, during amplify init there was a prompt to enter your ‘Source Directory Path’. I believe if you used the default it would be at ‘/’ rather than ‘src/’. This is where the aws-exports.js file is saved.

The documentation can be improved here to read from ‘/’ since that is the default Source path.
