Warning

This template has been deprecated following the React Native team's recommendation to build new RN apps using frameworks like Expo. Feel free to check out create-avid-app, which is an Expo template similar to this one also maintained by me.

react-native-template-opinionated

An opinionated template for new React Native projects in TypeScript (non-Expo).

Usage

# Replace `MyProject` below with your project name!

# latest template version — needs Node >= 18
npx react-native init MyProject --template react-native-template-opinionated

# alternatively, use an older version of React Native (more info in table below)
npx react-native init MyProject --template 'react-native-template-opinionated@6.0.*'

Different Versions of React Native

React Native version	Min. Node version	Template version
0.72.10	>= 18	9.0.*
0.71.16	>= 18	8.6.*
0.70.6	>= 16	7.0.*
0.69.5	>= 14	6.0.*
0.68.2	>= 14	5.0.*

Note: Starting from v5 of this template (React Native v0.68.2), files related to the New Architecture have been added to the template, although it is kept off by default. Hermes, on the other hand, is enabled by default starting from v7 of this template (React Native v0.70.6).

Configuration

In addition to the packages the default template comes with (ESLint, Jest, etc.), this one also includes these ones out of the box:

• async-storage
• husky + lint-staged
• luxon (with intl variant of JSC enabled)
• netinfo
• prettier plugin for import sorting
• react-native-svg + react-native-svg-transformer
• react-native-testing-library
• react-native-version-number

Create Native App

This project initially started out as a collection of Bash scripts, with the same goal of automating the setup for a base React Native project. This repo was adapted after React Native CLI added the ability to "templatise" a new project. You can check out the project's initial form here.
