🐐 Developed by Goat 🐐
Official template for React Native apps used by Goat for its iOS and Android apps. It is based on the newest and latest version of React Native and includes several starter packages for you to start your own app ASAP! 🚀
This template is useful for all types of apps, as it includes the bare minimum for you to start coding in just a couple of minutes. This templates also includes useful debugging tools such as Reactotron, and sets a standard for your development team, such as out-of-the-box ESLint support and file structure for components, views and tests.
To start a new app with React Native Goatlab, simply start a new project using React Native CLI (https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html). To do this, first install React Native CLI globally:
yarn global add react-native-cli
Then, create a new app using goatlab as a template. Easy as pie! 🍰
react-native init PROJECT_NAME --template goatlab
The template will replace your project's name in all relevant parts of the app. Neat! 
To start using your app, first copy the existing .env.example file into a new .env file and replace your IP address to start debugging with Reactotron. After that, simply run yarn react-native run-ios (only on Mac) or yarn react-native run-android (emulator must be running or an Android device with USB debugging must be plugged in) depending on your platform of choice.
This template includes the following:
- React Native 0.60 support (now with Hooks! 🙌)
- Entirely written in Typescript
- Easy to use and understand folder structure to get you up and running as fast as possible
- Starter example with an essential counter component and a cat-tastic component 🐱
- UI Kitten component framework and themes
- React Navigation
- Reactotron configured for debugging (including console.tron shortcut)
- Jest and Enzyme for component testing
- Redux support (with Sagas example)
- ESLint, TSLint and Prettier configured out-of-the-box
- Visual Studio Code settings for Prettier and ESLint (:warning: must install VSCode extensions to use them)
