BACA - BINAR APPS CORE APPLICATION

This repository is part of whole ecosystem, and it only contains React Native code

This is a template to be used with react native and expo. It includes all the necessary stuff to start working with expo framework. It has the most popular packages included, so it's easier to start coding the app itself without all the necessary boilerplate setup.

Documentation

Check out our documentation page, it contains:

• Bootstraping project - tutorial how to easy setup from scrath
• Deploying app
• Tutorials
  • How to manage environment variables
  • Use jotai as state management tool

Why to use?

We know there are a lot of project starters for react native, but we have some good features:

• Fully works with EXPO GO
  • Good for start the project and later you can switch to expo-dev-client
• Fully works on WEB
  • If you want to develop apps both on web and mobile this starter is good choice for you
• Code generators (create new screen / create new component)
• Fully + Strong typed
• App deployment documentation (currently in progress, but it will be added in near future)
