react-native link for fonts - only link fonts - react-native

Question

I'm trying to link a large number of font files into my react-native project and I don't want to do it manually because of how many there are.
Most instructions I've found say to do this:
package.json
"rnpm": {
"assets": ["assets/fonts"]
}
and then react-native link
The problem is I can't run react-native link without a second argument as it causes problems with some of the libraries I have installed.
Is there a way I can specify the command so it only links assets?

Answer 1

first edit your package.json
"rnpm": {
"assets": [
"./assets/fonts/"
]
}
then run
react-native link ./assets/fonts
source

Answer 2

I couldn't find a solution without running react-native link either. My solution was to commit everything, clean your stage, run react-native link, then check the git diff and remove the ones that is not your fonts. Works for me.

Answer 3

For example:
package.json
"rnpm": {
"assets": [
"./assets/Fonts/"
]
},
now you can use
react-native link

Answer 4

Here is what worked for me:
Create a configuration file react-native.config.js in the root project directory and add the code below:
module.exports = {
project: {
ios: {},
android: {},
},
assets: ['./assets/fonts'],
};
Then run npx react-native link
