create-kima-expo-genesis

Scaffold a new Expo project from the Kima Expo Genesis starter template.

npx create-kima-expo-genesis myapp
cd myapp
npm run ios          # or: npm run android

Genesis comes from the Greek word for birth, or origin. This is not the app, it is the thing the app is born from.

What you get

| | | |---|---| | Runtime | Expo SDK 56, React Native 0.85, React 19 | | Routing | expo-router with typed routes, bottom tabs | | Server state | TanStack React Query v5 | | Client state | Zustand, persisted to AsyncStorage | | HTTP | Axios or native fetch, chosen at scaffold time | | UI | In-house components, Atomic Design | | Theming | Real light and dark palettes, user-switchable | | i18n | English and Italian, optional at scaffold time | | Docs | Storybook (on-device) | | Tests | Jest + React Native Testing Library | | Language | TypeScript, strict |

A fresh project points at DummyJSON, so sign-in, a paginated list and a create form all work before you write anything. Swap EXPO_PUBLIC_BASE_URL for your own API and delete the example feature.

What it asks

• Project name and bundle ID, applied across app.config.ts and package.json
• Axios or native fetch. The one you skip is deleted, and axios is dropped from dependencies if you pick fetch
• i18n or not. Declining rewrites every t("key") back to its English string and removes the i18n layer entirely, rather than leaving it switched off
• Whether to run git init and install dependencies

It then checks npm for newer versions of the template's dependencies and offers to take them or keep the tested set. Expo-managed and Storybook packages are never offered, because their versions are pinned to the SDK.

Options

-y, --yes        Accept all defaults, no prompts
    --no-install Skip dependency installation
    --no-git     Skip git initialisation
    --no-i18n    Scaffold without internationalisation
    --http=KIND  Force the HTTP client: axios or fetch
-h, --help       Show this message
