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.

⭐ Features

Seamless integration with the React Native CLI! ✨
Consistent with the default React Native template (no additional stuff)
React Native TypeScript transformer directly integrated into the packager (no separate process for tsc)
Unit testing in TypeScript with TS Jest
Always latest dependencies 🙌

▶️ Quick Start

react-native init MyApp --template typescript
cd MyApp
node setup.js

❓ FAQ

What is included in this template?

This template always uses the latest versions of the dependencies at the time when the react-native init command is being executed. This means you don't have to worry about old versions.

Lots of ❤️ and credits to the owners and maintainers of those packages.

Why the setup script?

It deletes obsolete files like the .flowconfig and the setup.js itself after the setup.

Does debugging work?

Yes it does.
