create-universal

Cross-platform Expo/shadcn project generator to bootstrap an app that runs on iOS, Android, and web.

Includes TypeScript, Expo, Expo Router, web support, SVG support, an opinionated (auto-fixable) linting config, and shadcn/Tailwind via react-native-reusables/NativeWind.

Usage

With npm:

npm create universal app

With yarn:

yarn create universal app

Or specify a name to create your app in that directory:

npm create universal app your-app-name

Note: To ensure npm uses the latest if you used a previous version, you can run npm create universal@latest app.

Explanation

This essentially does the following:

• Install base dependencies with npm create -y expo -- -y your-app-name (the default expo template)
• Replace the default/tabs example with a bare-bones template
• Add some extra dependencies like react-native-svg
• Add eslint/prettier with eslint-config-universe and eslint-plugin-perfectionist
• Add a subset of shadcn/tailwind via react-native-reusables/nativewind
• Format code based on the linting config

Then you can simply run the following to see the web version of your new app:

cd my-app && npm start
