Versioning

This library doesn't follow conventional semver. The version scheme is shown below, and you should track this library accordingly.

<ExpoVersion>.<Major>.<Minor/Patch>

Getting started

Use the Expo CLI to bootstrap a project with the ReasonExpo template.

expo init <PROJECT_NAME> --template expo-template-reason

Already have an existing Expo Project? Go into your project root & then install the requirements:

yarn add bs-platform --dev
yarn add reason-react reason-react-native reason-expo

Next, create a file named bsconfig.json at the same level at your package.json with the following content:

{
  "name": "my-reason-expo-app",
  "reason": {
    "react-jsx": 3
  },
  "bsc-flags": ["-bs-super-errors"],
  "bs-dependencies": ["reason-react", "reason-react-native", "reason-expo"],
  "sources": [
    {
      "dir": "src"
    }
  ],
  "suffix": ".bs.js",
  "refmt": 3,
  "package-specs": {
    "module": "es6",
    "in-source": true
  }
}

Next, add these scripts to your package.json:

  "build-reason": "bsb -make-world",
  "watch-reason": "bsb -make-world -w",
  "build-reason-clean": "bsb -clean-world -make-world",

Finally, make a folder named src and start writing your ReasonML code in there. yarn build-reason will compile the ReasonML code in that folder for you to import and use in your Expo app's JS/TS code.
