React Native-specific configuration settings
Item | Description |
---|---|
Node interpreter | In this field, specify the Node.js interpreter to use. Choose one of the configured interpreters or click and configure a new one as described in Configuring Node.js Interpreters. If you have appointed one of the installations as default, the field displays the path to its executable file. |
React Native package | In this field, specify the location of the react-native package. |
Working Directory | In this field, specify the working directory of the application. All references in the starting Node.js application file, for example, imports, will be resolved relative to this folder, unless such references use full paths. By default, the field shows the project root folder. To change this predefined setting, choose the desired folder from the drop-down list, or type the path manually, or click the Browse button and select the location in the dialog box, that opens. |
Only start packager |

Target platform | In this area, choose the platform for running on which the application is intended. The available options are:

Run arguments | In this text box, type the arguments to be passed to React Native, for example, specify the simulator type through the --simulator flag: --simulator="iPhone 4s" . |
Environment | In this field, optionally specify the environment variables for executing the rect-native run-android or react-native run-ios command. |

Common options
Item | Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Name | In this text box, specify the name of the current run/debug configuration. This field does not appear for the default run/debug configurations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Defaults | This node in the left-hand pane of the dialog box contains the default run/debug configuration settings. Select the desired configuration to change its default settings in the right-hand pane. The defaults are applied to all newly created run/debug configurations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Share | Select this check box to make the run/debug configuration available to other team members. The shared run/debug configurations are kept in separate xml files under This check box is not available when editing the run/debug configuration defaults. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Single instance only | If this check box is selected, this run/debug configuration cannot be launched more than once. Every time a new run/debug configuration is launched, WebStorm checks the presence of the other instances of the same run/debug configuration, and displays a confirmation dialog box. If you click OK in the confirmation dialog box, the first instance of the runner will be stopped, and the next one will take its place. This makes sense when the usage of certain resources can cause conflicts, or when launching two run/debug configurations of the same type consumes too much of the CPU and memory resources. If this check box is not selected, it is possible to launch as many instances of the runner as required. So doing, each runner will start in its own tab of the Run tool window. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Before launch | Specify which tasks must be performed before applying the run/debug configuration. The specified tasks are performed in the order they appear in the list.
