QUICK START

warning

If this is not your first time using BACA we are strongly recommend going through bootstrap docs.

What you need to do, to start development​

Step 1. Setup repository​

  1. Clone this repository to your local machine
git clone git@github.com:binarapps/baca-react-native-template.git name_of_your_app
cd name_of_your_app
  1. Change origin to your repository
git remote remove origin
git remote add origin git@github.com:organization_name/repository_name.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main

Step 2. Login / register to expo​

Skip this step if you are already logged in

Login to expo account on your local machine.

Step 3. Create project on expo.dev​

  1. Sign in to the expo dev console (account created in the first step of repo configuration).

  2. Select the proper organization you are working for from a dropdown:

    Select organization

    Ideally, it will be an organization created by the client (especially for production builds), to easily pass access after the end of development.

  3. Create a new Project in the organization.

    • From the sidebar menu click All projects button:

      All projects

    • On the page with the list of projects click +New Project button:

      New project

    • Apply display name and slug of your project.

      Display name is a name that will be visible in the Expo Dev Console.

      Slug is the name that will link your Expo application with your code.

      Project create

Step 4.Sync project with code.​

Please gather this data:

  1. app name - you can add display name from previous step, or add anything you want here, this name will be displayed for users later
  2. slug name - created in 1-st point.
  3. owner - organization picked from the list in 1-st point
note

If you will have issues with finding this values, please check bootstrap testing docs

If you gather all this data please run this command:
