Excerpt

Build Nitro Modules

Overview

End-to-end skill for building a React Native Nitro Module: monorepo scaffolding via Nitrogen, TypeScript HybridObject spec authoring, native code generation, platform implementation (C++/Swift/Kotlin), example app wiring, and publish preparation.

Nitro Modules use a codegen pipeline (nitrogen) that reads .nitro.ts spec files and generates native C++/Swift/Kotlin boilerplate. You then fill in the implementation. This is fundamentally different from old-style turbo modules.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
