Upgrade Helper

A web tool to help you upgrade your React Native app with ease! 🚀

🎩 How it works

The Upgrade Helper tool aims to provide the full set of changes happening between any two versions, based on the previous work done in the rn-diff-purge project:

This repository exposes an untouched React Native app generated with the CLI react-native init RnDiffApp. Each new React Native release causes a new project to be created, removing the old one, and getting a diff between them. This way, the diff is always clean, always in sync with the changes of the init template.

This will help you see what changes you need to do in your code.

Aside from this, the tool provides you a couple of cool extra features:

• inline comments to help you with more insights about precise files
• a set of links with further explanations on what the version you are upgrading to
• a handy "done" button near each file to help you keep track of your process
• a download button for new binary files
• the ability to toggle all files by holding the alt key and clicking on expand/collapse
• ...and we are planning many more features! Check the enhancement tag in the issue section.
