React Native Secure Boilerplate 2024: Ignite with freeRASP

Read the full article

Overview

This project integrates the Ignite framework by Infinite Red with freeRASP by Talsec to create a secure and scalable mobile app using React Native. Ignite serves as a customizable boilerplate to speed up app development, while freeRASP provides runtime protection against various security threats, including tampering and unauthorized access.

Key Features

  • Ignite Framework: A highly customizable boilerplate that accelerates React Native app development with TypeScript, MobX, and many other modern tools.
  • freeRASP Integration: A Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) solution that provides real-time threat detection and mitigation against tampering, reverse engineering, and unauthorized access.

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to get the project running, set up the security features, and build a small HelloWorld app using the combined Ignite and freeRASP toolset.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed on your system:

  • Node.js (v14 or later)
  • Yarn or npm
  • React Native CLI
  • Xcode (for iOS development)
  • Android Studio (for Android development)

Project Setup

Step 1: Install Ignite CLI

To create a new React Native project using Ignite:

npm install -g ignite-cli
ignite new HelloWorldApp

Step 2: Install and Configure freeRASP

Next, you'll install the freerasp-react-native package to add runtime security to your app.

yarn add freerasp-react-native

Configure freeRASP.

Create a configuration file named freerasp.config.js in the root of your project. This file will hold your app's security and threat response settings.

Step 2: Running the App

Navigate to the project directory.

cd HelloWorldApp

Run the app with these commands.

IOS

npx react-native run-ios

Android

npx react-native run-android

Summary

By combining Ignite's development speed and freeRASP's security features, this boilerplate offers a foundation for developing secure React Native apps, especially for industries requiring heightened security (e.g., banking, fintech).
