How many people use @react-native-community/cli?
npm counted 3,469,509 downloads of @react-native-community/cli in the last 7 days. Nobody can count people exactly, npm included: it does not record who downloaded what. After removing mirror spikes and crawlers, about 3.47M look like real installs. At this scale most of them come from CI, builds and other packages that depend on @react-native-community/cli, so the number of people behind them is far smaller.
Is @react-native-community/cli still maintained?
Most likely yes, going by its releases. The latest version, 20.2.0, came out on Jun 25, 2026. The last 12 months saw 5 stable releases, typically 28 days apart, plus 1 pre-release. It was first published on Jan 17, 2019. npm lists 4 maintainers.
Is @react-native-community/cli still used?
Downloads with publish spikes removed are up 22% over 3 months and up 79% over 11 months. For scale, the median of the 269 packages we track, which lean towards today's most downloaded, is up 157% over 11 months, so this one is behind that. Last week, 52% of downloads above the crawler floor were on major version 20, the latest one; the most used single version was 20.2.0, with 21%. Weekdays get 2.1× the downloads of weekends, which fits people at work, though CI follows the same rhythm. Crawlers account for about 574 downloads a week, roughly 2 per version.
How the estimate works
- Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
- Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
- Show what is left as a range, with a confidence level. It still includes CI and dependency installs, so it is not a count of people.
