react-native-start: Start the server in verbose mode.
$ react-native start --verbose
try on your machine

The command react-native start --verbose is used in a React Native project to start the Metro Bundler, which is a JavaScript bundler that combines all the JavaScript code required to run the app.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

  • react-native start: It starts the Metro Bundler for the React Native project. The Metro Bundler is responsible for bundling the JavaScript code, providing a development server, and managing assets.
  • --verbose: This flag provides more detailed and verbose output during the bundling process. It can be useful for troubleshooting and debugging purposes as it displays additional information and logging.

By running this command, the Metro Bundler starts, bundles the JavaScript code required for the app, and provides a development server. The --verbose flag ensures that it displays more detailed information about the bundling process, which can be helpful for understanding any potential issues or debugging the app.
