Introduction#
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for cloning and running our pre-configured React Native sample project, which includes the IMG.LY editor integration.
Note: Customizing the CreativeEditor SDK for React Native is handled exclusively through native code (Swift/Kotlin), as outlined in our configuration overview section.
Pre-requisites#
Before you begin, make sure the following requirements are met:
- A properly configured Expo development environment
- Platform-specific development setup for your target (Android and/or iOS)
- Git CLI installed
- A valid CE.SDK license key (Get a free trial)
1. Clone the GitHub Repository#
First, open your terminal application and navigate to your preferred working directory - for example, the ~/Downloads
directory.
cd ~/Downloads
Next, clone the repository of our official React Native sample application:
git clone https://github.com/imgly/cesdk-react-native-examples.git
2. Run the Project#
Before running the application, ensure you add your valid IMG.LY license key to the src/secrets/secrets.ts
file.
static license = {YOUR_LICENSE_KEY}
Finally, run the project on your target platform (Android and/or iOS).
npx expo start
Next Steps#
- Include the
@imgly/editor-react-native
native module in your existing React Native project - Use our native interfaces to customize the editor to your liking
