How to use `react-native link` with a existing iOS or Android project path

Can I use react-native link command with a parameter like

react-native link --path "{a_path_to_my_exisiting_ios_or_android_project}"

to link the native code in the node_modules/ to a specific, existing iOS/Android project?

If YES, how to do that and can you document it? If No, can you add this feature?

Using the manual method for existing projects is error-prone and time-consuming.

@xareelee you can set a rnpm key in your package.json and define some properties to override defaults.

E.g. here we read properties from an object userConfig.

In order to override location to your .xcodeproj, you’d do:

{ "rnpm": { "ios": { "project": ".../a.xcodeproj" } } }
