React Native Clean Project

Cleans your React Native project by purging caches and modules, and reinstalling them again.

yarn add -D react-native-clean-project

This module is automatically detected as a plugin by the standard react-native command, adding new sub-commands:

react-native clean-project-auto - fully automated project state clean: like a freshly-cloned, never-started repo
react-native clean-project - interactive project state clean: choose types of react-native state to clean

For complete control (including using command-line arguments to non-interactively fine-tune what state is cleaned):

npx react-native-clean-project

Or add it as a script to your package.json

"scripts": {
  "clean": "react-native-clean-project"
}

This is a combination of the commands suggested in the React Native documentation plus others.
