Knowing the version of React Native you are currently using is essential, especially when planning to upgrade or troubleshoot your projects. Here, we provide a comprehensive guide to help you identify the version of React Native installed on your system or in your project.
Method 1: Using the Command Line
One of the simplest ways to check the installed version of React Native is through the command line. This method is applicable for both globally installed versions and versions specific to a project.
- Global Installation: Open your terminal and run the command:
react-native -vThis will display the version of React Native installed globally on your system.
- Project-Specific Installation: Navigate to your project’s root directory and execute the same command:
react-native -vThis will show the version used within your project environment.
Method 2: Checking the Package File
If you’re working within a specific project, another reliable way to verify the version is by examining the package.json file located in your project’s root directory. Look for the react-native entry under the dependencies section:
{
"dependencies": {
"react-native": "0.63.4",
...
}
}Method 3: Using npm or Yarn Commands
For a more detailed environment overview, you can use npm or Yarn commands to list the installed packages and their versions:
- Run
npm list react-native --depth 0oryarn list --pattern react-native --depth=0to specifically check the version of React Native. - Use
npm view react-native versionto directly view the version number.
Method 4: React Native Info Command
For a comprehensive view of your React Native environment, including system and package information, use:
react-native infoThis command provides detailed insights into the setup and helps identify any compatibility issues.
