Ignite: Old packages

[AlirezaAkbarix]

Nice boilerplate but using ignite new app makes an app with old libs.
e.g "react-navigation": "1.0.0-beta.11" that is a very useful package and it's current version is 1.5.1 with a lot of changes.
Now after updating react-navigation I have a lot of errors and because I'm not familiar with Redux, I'm not sure whats the problem.

P.S: If ignite init new project with match new packages, it's reliable to continue developing on this skeleton.

We have a new release coming soon. We know it's far behind, but the plan is to release in the next month.

here's the upcoming version: https://github.com/infinitered/ignite-ir-boilerplate/tree/ignite_bowser

[jekirl]

Is that usable in its current form? Thanks

[GantMan]

yup! You can use it, it will be slightly updated though. All updated will be trackable in git.

[GantMan]

To use it, you use the -b flag to point to a different boilerplate during the ignite process.

[jekirl]

So I take it you recommend starting a new project with the bowser branch? Thanks

[GantMan]

Yes! Definitely... though there are no docs for you just yet.

[jekirl]

Awesome thanks. I would assume that it functions and is used more or less like the current version though, right? Thanks again

[GantMan]

Correct, this is the latest and greatest (minus some updates we will be making)

[omairvaiyani]

What exactly must be enter into use this branch? ignite new AppName -b bowser?

[omairvaiyani]

Nevermind figured it out - in case it helps another newcomer:

clone repo and set branch to ignite_bowser
cd path_one_up_from_repo
ignite new AppName -b ./ignite-ir-boilerplate

[xgenvn]

@omairvaiyani I'm trying to use the ignite_bowser branch, but it throws error while doing

ignite add vector-icons

Is it possible to add vector-icons and maps this way?

[skellock]

Some of the existing plugins are targeting a different filesystem setup, so no. Not yet at least.

[xgenvn]

@skellock thank you.
There's one more thing I noticed about the setup of the branch, is there any good reason to switch to mobx? (I know this should be asked on the target repository)

[skellock]

Ya, we've switched to mobx and mobx-state-tree a while ago. These libs simply do more for you. redux does one thing but does it well. These things tend to be moving targets. =)

[AlirezaAkbarix]

@omairvaiyani Should it work on windows too? I've tested on mac and was OK, but using on windows creates a normal ignite boilerbpate : ignite new AppName /b /ignite-ir-boilerplate

[kevinvangelder]

On Windows you should use the --boilerplate=C:/path/to/boilerplate option.

any ideas?

[xgenvn]

@ccfiel can you try the full path to the branch?

[ccfiel]

@xgenvn correct! :D for newbi like me what I did

ignite new todoapp -b /home/chris/ignite-ir-boilerplate

[ccfiel]

using this ignite new todoapp -b /home/chris/ignite-ir-boilerplate but I did not see any mobx still redux. Did I miss something?

[GantMan]

Is your local branch pointed towards the bowser branch?

https://github.com/infinitered/ignite-ir-boilerplate/tree/ignite_bowser

[xgenvn]

@ccfiel

cd /home/chris/ignite-ir-boilerplate
git checkout ignite_bowser
ignite new todoapp -b /home/chris/ignite-ir-boilerplate

[ccfiel]

@GantMan its now working. Thanks @xgenvn made a little modification in the command

cd /home/chris/ignite-ir-boilerplate
git checkout ignite_bowser
cd ..
ignite new todoapp -b /home/chris/ignite-ir-boilerplate
