React Native renderer based on Skia
The project is still in proof of concept and requires lots of work.
This board records TODO items for the project to production level

Only macOS and Linux (Ubuntu 18) is supported in the mean time, but the most implementation is cross platform. It should be easy to extend for other Skia supported platforms.
Setup instruction is common for both macOS and Linux except at step 2, where different arguments will be used for gn configuration.
- Install Chromium depot_tools
$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
$ export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/depot_tools"
- Get the code by gclient
$ mkdir react-native-skia && cd react-native-skia
$ gclient config --name src --unmanaged https://github.com/Kudo/react-native-skia.git@main
$ gclient sync --with_branch_heads
# We will use react-native-skia/src as working directory in the future steps.
$ cd /path/to/react-native-skia/src
- Generate build files
$ gn gen --args='mac_deployment_target="10.11.0" mac_min_system_version="10.11.0"' out/Debug
# Or release build
# $ gn gen --args='mac_deployment_target="10.11.0" mac_min_system_version="10.11.0" is_debug=false' out/Release
# For Linux (Ubuntu 18)
$ gn gen --args='use_sysroot=false enable_vulkan=false' out/Debug
- Sync JavaScript packages
$ yarn
- Build the code
$ ninja -C out/Debug ReactSkiaApp
# Build react-native JavaScript bundle
$ yarn workspace react-native-skia run react-native bundle \
--platform ios \
--dev false \
--entry-file SimpleViewApp.js \
--bundle-output ../../out/Debug/SimpleViewApp.bundle \
--assets-dest ../../out/Debug
- Run the program
$ cd out/Debug && ./ReactSkia
$ git pull --rebase
$ gclient sync --with_branch_heads
# Sync node modules
$ yarn
# Incremental build C++ code
$ ninja -C out/Debug ReactSkiaApp
We use gclient and DEPS file to manage third party code, including react-native.
Once updating the git revision in DEPS, gclient sync
could sync the local files accordingly.
The change of DEPS could commit into git for others to have the update.
Here to list my patches for third-party code. The list should be as less as possible.
-
react-native patch for cxx textlayoutmanager build break. https://github.com/Kudo/react-native/commit/b11c10371dec70ae6607286f23581585a401da09 (Will send a PR and hope to be fixed by upstream, then we don't have custom patch for react-native anymore)
