before react-native 0.70
I used the following configuration
//file react-native.config.js
module.exports = {
project: {
ios: {},
android: {},
},
assets: ['./src/assets/fonts/aaa', './src/assets/fonts/bbb'],
};
and just calling
react-native link
it handles the linking job now
I'm getting error: unknown command 'link'
how to do the same job?
this was removed react-native link after 0.69 i believe
you can use the following it works
npx react-native-asset

I am trying to add custom fonts to my app. I tried everything on the internet but nothing works. However, I think that the only thing that works on React Native 0.70.5 is linking assets using npx react-native-asset.
I tried making react-native.config.jsfile, then using npx react-native-asset. However, it just doesn't give any output and resets the command prompt. I even tried Cmder and Windows PowerShell. Nothing works they all reset.
my react-native.config.js
module.exports = {
project: {
ios: {},
android: {},
},
assets: ['./assets'],
};
You have to specify the exect location of the font's TTF or OTF file.
Update react-native.config.js file like this.
module.exports = {
project: {
ios: {},
android: {},
},
assets: ['./assets/fonts/'], // stays the same
};
Put the font files in project>>assets>>fonts folder
After that run command npx react-native-asset
Probabily you will get the results.
When I run react-native run-ios --verbose I see that my app is created at
/Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/AppName-ztrewhgfdsjtizchezgdoiujklztre/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/AppName.app
instead of ios/build inside my project root.
I have been searching for ways to configure this inside react-native.config.js but could not find how to explictly stated in the docs.
This is my react-native.config.js:
module.exports = {
project: {
ios: {},
android: {},
},
assets: ["./assets/fonts/"],
}
react-native: 0.60.4,
react: 16.8.6,
npm: 6.10.1
XCode: 10.2.1
AndroidStudio: 3.4.1
I created a project using
npx react-native init awesomeApp --template typescript
I have put my assets in the
assets/fonts/<Bunch of .ttf files>
My Directory Structure
awesomeApp
|
+--android
+--ios
+--assets
| |
| +---fonts
| |
| +-- ProximaNova-Bold.ttf
+--react-native-config.js
then I ran
react-native link
Nothing happends, XCode not showing any added Resource neither the android, and when I'm running react-native run-ios showing error that the font is not found.
My react-native-config.js
module.exports = {
project: {
ios: {},
android: {},
},
assets: ['./assets/fonts']
};
I have also tried
yarn react-native link and npx react-native link
Well,
finally, I linked my fonts,
I just renamed my file react-native-config.js to react-native.config.js and it worked.
I don't know if this is the right way, I just tried and it worked, for me at least.
Here is the complete walkthrough for linking custom fonts.
my react-native.config.js
module.exports = {
project: {
ios: {},
android: {},
},
assets: ['./assets/fonts/'],
};
and logs:
info Linking assets to ios project
info Linking assets to android project
success Assets have been successfully linked to your project
but My mistake was:
Wrong way:
fontFamily: BYekan
Right way:
fontFamily: 'BYekan'
just put font name in ''
For React-native > 0.69, npx react-native link is no longer working
Use npx react-native-asset instead
Just to complement keyserfaty's answer, here is my react-native.config.js working using react-native link:
module.exports = {
dependencies: {
"react-native-gesture-handler": { platforms: { android: null, ios: null } }
},
assets: ['./src/assets/fonts']
};
Create a file in your react native project called react-native.config.js:
In it, paste
module.exports = {
project: {
ios: {},
android: {},
},
assets: ['./src/assets/fonts/'],
};
assets: ['./src/assets/fonts/'], should be the path to wherever you stored your custom fonts in your project folder.
When you run the link command, it should work then.
Using RN 0.60.8 with a react-native-config.js file should allow you to link your fonts using react-native link.
My logs:
react-native link
info Linking assets to ios project
info Linking assets to android project
success Assets have been successfully linked to your project
Since you installed React Native using npx I'm guessing you maybe don't have react-native installed globally? Is running react-native link giving you any errors?
None of the above solutions work for me. The issue with what I was having is my Xcode project already had Resources group with a backed folder in it. The way react-native link is working as my understanding is it's creating a group without a folder and add it to your project and link to all your fonts from there. This approach doesn't work when you already have a Resources folder. The solution I could come up with was just renaming the Resources folder to something else and run react-native link again.
If you don't have such a setup, create react-native.config.js file and running react-native link works fine.
react-native.config.js
module.exports = {
project: {
ios: {},
android: {},
},
assets: ['./src/assets/fonts/']
};
change assets: ['./src/assets/fonts/'] to assets: ['/src/assets/fonts/']
or use
assets: ['./src/assets/fonts/'] but nameProject/assets
some times you have writed react-native.config.js correctlly
in such cases ; if you do this tasks
it helps you
1- delete react-native.config.js file
2- create this file with same code again
3- write react-native link in console
then you can see resources folder in Xcode
and you can see your fonts in info.plist and copy bundle resources
The "adding the font" should be done in your package.json. Add:
"rnpm": {
"assets": ["./assets/fonts/"]
}
Then run
react-native link
Source
EDIT: The above only works for react-native below 0.60.0
I've installed react-native-localization in my react native project (v0.6). Library is not supporting autolinker yet so I need to disable it for iOS and Android in react-native.config.js.
I already tried to add dependencies in react-native.config.js. After that, I did react-native link react-native-localization command and build an app.
This is my react-native.config.js file:
'use strict';
const ios = require('#react-native-community/cli-platform-ios');
const android = require('#react-native-community/cli-platform-android');
module.exports = {
dependencies: {
'react-native-localization': {
platforms: {
android: null, // disable Android platform, other platforms will still autolink if provided
ios: null,
},
},
},
commands: [...ios.commands, ...android.commands],
platforms: {
ios: {
linkConfig: ios.linkConfig,
projectConfig: ios.projectConfig,
dependencyConfig: ios.dependencyConfig,
},
android: {
linkConfig: android.linkConfig,
projectConfig: android.projectConfig,
dependencyConfig: android.dependencyConfig,
},
},
/**

reactNativePath: '.',

},
android: {

},
},
};
Error in simulator says:
"Please check your configuration. Did you run 'react-native link'?
As now, react-native has added the support for CocoaPods inside of his projects. (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases)
Sadly, i don't know why, but the autolinking feature never works for me on iOS but always goes trough in Android. The only solution i found is to do a react-native link only for iOS (renaming the android folder to something else), then do cd ios and pod install. After that, in the majority of the cases, it would work out of the box, while other libs needs still to be updated to have a full integration with RN 0.60.
Hope all this will be fixed soon but until that we only have to wait and hope that the libs work without any other complications
I am trying to install fonts with
react-native link ./assets/fonts/ and with react-native link
both are giving the same error:
"error Failed to get dependency config."
I updated my package.json
"rnpm": {
"assets": [
"./assets/fonts/"
]
}
Please help
I have made sure the path to the font folder is correct and still same problem
re-install and re-link solves the problem in my case
What version of your react-native?
If it is> 0.60, it is recommended to create the react-native.config.js file with the configurations below:
module.exports = {
project: {
ios: {},
android: {}, // grouped into "project"
},
assets: [
'./assets/fonts/',
],
};
Link without specifying the package name and it should work
react-native link
