have 2 versions of reanimated installed on same project

[Learto]

I have a big project with "react-native-reanimated": "^1.3.0" already installed. I want to install the react-native reanimated v2.

I found this solution : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26414587/how-to-install-multiple-versions-of-package-using-npm :

yarn add react-native-reanimated-next@npm:react-native-reanimated@next

The rest of the installation is the same than a normal installation ?

For example, this should be :

  module.exports = {
      ...
      plugins: [
          ...
          'react-native-reanimated/plugin',
      ],
  };

or

  module.exports = {
      ...
      plugins: [
          ...
          'react-native-reanimated-next/plugin',
      ],
  };

Thanks for answers.

You can't use two instances of Reanimated since we can only have one native module running. Trying to use them will lead to duplicated registration on the native side and your application will crash.

We tried to make the transition from v1 as easy as it could be - Reanimated v2 includes v1 stuff and we only require renaming interpolate and Easing. Please refer to this doc page for more information.

Thanks for answer! So I don't need to make the Babel plugin, Android and IOS part of the installation page ?

No, you still need to do those parts. The "easy" part applies to migrating your codebase to v2 😄
