A way to only link fonts react native

E Pierre picture E Pierre · Mar 1, 2018 · Viewed 14.9k times · Source

I am working with react native and I only want to link my fonts and nothing else.

I am using react-native-maps and it specifically says in the docs "Do not use react-native link"

Everywhere I look I see that people say to do react-native link in order to link fonts but I am wonder in if there is proper syntax for just linking fonts like:

react-native link ./assets/fonts or something? That way it will not also link all my other libraries

You can give react-native link a parameter / name that is not present in your package.json - this will cause the task list for the command to contain only the link assets task.

So react-native link ./assets/fonts is not a valid command, but it should work.

Do remember you need your fonts dir specified in package.json as per Hamed's answer.
