ReactNative 0.60.4 Android开启Hermes

HermesHermes 引擎是 Facebook 研发，在 React-Native Android 端用于替换 JavaScript Core 的 JavaScript 引擎。Hermes 引擎的优势是适合移动端的轻量级 JavaScript 引擎，使用 aot 编译，可以减少 Android 端内存使用，减小安装包大小，提升执行效率。

首先，请确保您至少使用 React Native 的 0.60.4 版本。

集成 Hermes

官网的集成方式很简单，只需要在android/app/build.gradle中将enableHermes改成 true，但基本上是不会成功的。下面是正确的开启方式 ~

• 第一步 编辑android/app/build.gradle文件并进行如下所示的更改：

project.ext.react = [
    entryFile: "index.js",
    enableHermes: true,  // clean and rebuild if changing
    hermesCommand: "../../node_modules/hermes-engine/%OS-BIN%/hermes",
]

• 第二步 npm install --save hermes-engine@0.1.0,安装 0.1.0 版本的 hermes

• 第三步 替换 node_modules\react-native 目录下 react.gradle 文件

其实这一步是将 rn 默认调用的 hermesvm 改成 herms-engine,我们看下对比

• 第四步 遵循官方提示，如果有修改 enableHermes，一定要在 Android 下执行./gradlew clean 之后重新编译

修改之后基本可以运行打包了，如果遇到

 More than one file was found with OS independent path 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so'

这样的错，意思是有多个lib/x86/libc++_shared.so依赖，可以在 android/app/build.gradle 里的android{}配置项里，添加

 packagingOptions {
    pickFirst '**/*.so'
}

在编译时遇到相同的依赖，选择第一个。
或者直接声明

 packagingOptions {
    pickFirst '**/x86/libc++_shared.so'
}

开启 Hermes 后打出来包明显比没开启时小很多。不仅仅是 apk 体积变小了，而且启动速度也有明显提升，占用内存也明显下降。关于性能调研的对比可以参考这篇文章RN 技术探索：Hermes Engine 初探
开启前：

开启后：

使用 Google Chrome 的 DevTools 调试 Hermes

Hermes 通过实现 Chrome 检查器协议来支持 Chrome 调试器。这意味着 Chrome 的工具可用于直接调试在模拟器或设备上的 Hermes 上运行的 JavaScript。

Chrome 通过 Metro 连接到在设备上运行的爱马仕，因此您需要知道 Metro 在哪里监听。通常，此功能将打开localhost:8081，但这是可配置的。运行时yarn start，启动时将地址写入 stdout。

知道 Metro 服务器正在侦听的位置后，您可以按照以下步骤连接 Chrome：

1. chrome://inspect在 Chrome 浏览器实例中导航到。

2. 使用Configure...按钮添加 Metro 服务器地址（通常localhost:8081如上所述）。
   
   

3.现在，您应该看到带有“检查”链接的“ Hermes React Native”目标，可用于启动调试器。如果看不到“检查”链接，请确保 Metro 服务器正在运行。

4.现在，您可以使用 Chrome 调试工具。例如，要在下次运行某些 JavaScript 时断点，请单击“暂停”按钮，然后在您的应用中触发一个将导致 JavaScript 执行的操作。
