For the past several months we have been discussing and making progress on a project called “Lean Core”. Please read our motivation for this project. Over the years React Native has accumulated a lot of parts that are now outdated, unused or otherwise legacy. It's time to clean everything up and put the repository into a much more manageable state going forward.
This is an umbrella task intended to track all the work necessary to reach the goal of a leaner core, including work around repository reorganization. This issue is being kept up to date so new items will be added and completed ones will be (re)moved. Some of the items will spawn separate issues to track work. If you don't see a name assigned to any of the below items and you would like to help out, please volunteer in the comments and reach out to me to get started!
Components & RuntimeReact Native currently comes with a large number of components, many of which are deprecated or outdated but they still part of the repository and increase the size of applications. For items in this section we are either looking to completely remove things if they are unused, or we'd like to move them either to community managed repositories or otherwise to facebookarchive. The list here is partially based on an awesome investigation by @axe-fb. The migration can be done roughly by following @matt-oakes's guide from further below: #23313 (comment)
Over the years we have amassed a large amount of dependencies, especially JavaScript. We have also moved things out of React Native, like Metro and the react-native-cli. This means we left a large amount of tooling dependencies in our package.json, many of which will are unused by RN itself and won't be updated to the latest versions, causing the full install of React Native to be bloated. It would also be great to do an audit of all the dependencies that are used and identify which ones could be removed.
Right now the React Native repository is a large repository with little organization that promotes separation of concerns. It is our goal as part of this effort to also move things into a more manageable structure. As part of this, we'd like to follow a monorepo model that consists of multiple smaller packages. This will be a gradual migration and we will only be tracking the initial work to get this off the ground.
