Blog post from Expo
Starting a new project with Expo can be both thrilling and overwhelming due to the multitude of decisions required at the outset which affect the project's trajectory. To alleviate this, a series of twelve specific tips are provided, including the use of TypeScript for its type-checking benefits, file-based navigation through Expo Router for automatic route creation, and the setup of eslint and prettier for code consistency. Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) practices are emphasized for maintaining code quality and streamlining deployment processes. Other recommendations include implementing error boundaries to manage application crashes gracefully, adhering to a one-component-per-file rule for code clarity, and using development builds over Expo Go for more robust app development. The guide also advises on package management via `npx expo install` to ensure compatibility with the Expo SDK, setting up app variants to distinguish between development and production builds, enabling automatic build versioning to prevent store upload issues, and incorporating app upgrade mechanisms to notify users of new versions. Finally, the document encourages users to explore further resources and engage with the community for support and inspiration.
