create-rn-feature-app

Create an Expo Router TypeScript application with a practical, feature-based architecture.

npx create-rn-feature-app my-app

The CLI creates the Expo app, asks which optional integrations to include, then writes src/app, core services, stores, reusable UI, aliases, environment files, and example auth/home screens.

Expo's own interactive setup runs during generation, so you can choose from the SDK/template options it presents (for example SDK 54, 55, or 56 when available). The CLI prints four explicit stages: Expo creation, native dependency installation, JavaScript dependency installation, and architecture generation.

Every generated TypeScript and configuration file is formatted automatically with Prettier. The generated app includes prettier.config.cjs, so later changes can use npx prettier --write ..

The generator explicitly runs npx expo install babel-preset-expo --dev to keep the Babel preset aligned with the chosen Expo SDK.

When NativeWind is selected, the generator uses the NativeWind v4-compatible Babel preset configuration and installs nativewind@^4.1.23 with tailwindcss@^3.4.17.

Included foundations

• Expo Router with routes in src/app
• Axios, AsyncStorage, environment configuration, feature folders, Zustand stores
• Optional NativeWind, TanStack Query, and a required choice of React Hook Form + Zod or Formik + Yup; plus Haptics, SVG imports, NetInfo offline UI, and Secure Store
