Expo plugin to add custom assets to xcode and android studio to allow the usage of it as local files for projects like Rive
- This plugin requires assets path only nothing more
npm install expo-custom-assets
yarn add expo-custom-assets
pnpm install expo-custom-assets
bun install expo-custom-assets
For managed Expo projects
- After installing the package through npm add the plugin to your app.json
"plugins": [
[
"expo-custom-assets",
{
// Add asset directory paths, the plugin copies the files in the given paths to the app bundle folder named Assets
"assetsPaths": ["./path-to-your-asset-folder"]
// if you want custom assets directory name use this prop (default: "Assets")
// "assetsDirName": "testName"
}
]
]For bare React Native projects, you must ensure that you have installed and configured the expo package before continuing.
Contributions are very welcome! we have some things to do in our Todo's
- [x] Stop creating Assets folder in it exist
- [x] Allow for custom asset folder name
- [x] Fix typescript error when building the package
- [ ] Add more example for other custom assets other than Rive
- For the android part I almost used the plugin from MortadhaFadhlaoui at https://github.com/MortadhaFadhlaoui/rive-react-native-android-blank with small modifications
- For ios part I really benefited from https://github.com/outsung/expo-dynamic-app-icon
- ChatGpt for the great help with making the script work as I wanted
