option.
- Use an example:
npx create-react-native-app -t with-typescript
- Use a custom template:
npx create-react-native-app --template https://github.com/someone/my-react-starter
-- Only works with GitHub repos on the master branch. - All examples can be modified in the expo/examples repo.
Expo Client enables you to work with all of the Components and APIs in react-native
