This template can be used with the React Native CLI, which means it doesn't mess with the platform specific files. Instead of including a lot of dependencies, my aim when creating this template was to provide a very easy and minimalist way to start your React Native project with TypeScript. Of course you can always include other dependencies as you need them.

▶️ Quick Start

react-native init MyApp --template typescript
cd MyApp
node scripts/install.sh

❓ FAQ

Why the post install script?

The React Native CLI currently supports automatic installation only of production dependencies. Since TypeScript type definitions are dev dependencies, the post install script is being used to install those.

### What about Jest?

Currently this template doesn't cover Jest. For more info on the current status check the open issue.
