How to check the installed version of React-Native

Question

I'm going to upgrade react-native but before I do, I need to know which version I'm upgrading from to see if there are any special notes about upgrading from my version.

How do I find the version of react-native I have installed on my Mac?

To see what version you have on your Mac(Window also can run that code.), run react-native -v and you should get something like this:

If you want to know what version your project is running, look in /node_modules/react-native/package.json and look for the version key:

The best practice for checking the react native environment information.

react-native info

which will give the information

React Native Environment Info:
System:
  OS: Linux 4.15 Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (Bionic Beaver)
  CPU: (8) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
  Memory: 2.08 GB / 7.67 GB
  Shell: 4.4.19 - /bin/bash
Binaries:
  Node: 8.10.0 - /usr/bin/node
  Yarn: 1.12.3 - /usr/bin/yarn
  npm: 3.5.2 - /usr/bin/npm
npmPackages:
  react: 16.4.1 => 16.4.1 
  react-native: 0.56.0 => 0.56.0 
npmGlobalPackages:
  react-native-cli: 2.0.1
  react-native: 0.57.8

This is the one that works for me. The `-v` command doesn't work. This `info` command took quite long time to finish though. — Chen Li Yong, May 20 '20 at 03:52

You can also open your package.json file in node_modules -> react-native.

The version is at the top:

 {
  "name": "react-native",
  "version": "0.12.0",
  ...
 }

I don't think this is true, `react-native -v` returns `0.48.4` while my `package.json` says `0.1.0`. – paulvs Nov 26 '17 at 23:45

it actually true. react-native and react-native-cli are different things. @paulvs – hakki Dec 09 '19 at 11:37

Move to the root of your App then execute the following command,

react-native -v

In my case, it is something like below,

MacBook-Pro:~ admin$ cd projects/

MacBook-Pro:projects admin$ cd ReactNative/

MacBook-Pro:ReactNative admin$ cd src/

MacBook-Pro:src admin$ cd Apps/

MacBook-Pro:Apps admin$ cd CabBookingApp/

MacBook-Pro:CabBookingApp admin$ ls
MyComponents        __tests__       app.json        index.android.js    
ios         package.json
MyStyles        android         img         index.ios.js        
node_modules

Finally,

MacBook-Pro:CabBookingApp admin$ react-native -v
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.44.0

To see the local packages installed in your project including their versions and without their dependencies, run the below command from the project's root directory. In a React native app this would include the react-native package.

npm list --depth 0

Or if you installed them with yarn:

yarn list --depth=0

And to get just a specific package:

npm list react-native --depth 0
yarn list --pattern react-native --depth=0

If you have installed "react-native" globally then just open terminal/command line tool and type react-native -v you will get your answer.

And if you have installed "react-native" for a specific project then open terminal/command line tool and then navigate to your project and type react-native -v you will get your answer.

You can run this command in Terminal:

react-native --version

This will give react-native CLI version

Or check in package.json under

"dependencies": {
    "react": "16.11.0",
    "react-native": "0.62.2",
}

First, make sure npm is installed on your system. Use: [sudo] npm install npm -g to download and install it.

If you installed react native globally, on your terminal type:

  react-native --version

But if you installed without the global flag -g, type:

 npx react-native --version

Or

 yarn react-native --version

(If you have yarn installed)

Just Do a "npm audit" on your project directory and then go to your project package.json file. In the package.json file you will find all the versions and the package names.This should work irrespective of the OS.
