Question 1

How do I add a new screen in React Native Easy Starter?

Accepted Answer

Create a component in the screens directory, then register it in the navigation stack defined in AppNavigator.js, following the existing patterns for consistency. The README includes navigation examples to guide this process.

Question 2

Does React Native Easy Starter work with Expo?

Accepted Answer

No, it's based on the React Native CLI and includes native modules like CodePush and react-native-keychain, which aren't compatible with Expo's managed workflow. You'd need to use the bare workflow or switch to Expo-specific starters.

Question 3

React Native Easy Starter vs Ignite: which is better for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Easy Starter is more minimal and hooks-focused, ideal for learning core concepts with a straightforward setup. Ignite offers generators and more features, but can be overwhelming; Easy Starter's simplicity suits beginners better.

Question 4

How to update React Native version in this starter?

Accepted Answer

Updating requires manual steps using the React Native upgrade helper and modifying package.json dependencies. The starter might not automatically support newer versions, so check compatibility with bundled libraries.

Question 5

Can I use TypeScript with React Native Easy Starter?

Accepted Answer

TypeScript isn't included by default, but you can add it by installing types and configuring tsconfig.json. However, no built-in support or documentation is provided, so it may require additional setup.

Question 6

Is it easy to remove CodePush if I don't need it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it involves uninstalling the CodePush package, removing integrations from App.js, and cleaning up build scripts. The README doesn't detail this, so you'd need to manually strip out references.
