This template uses Expo Prebuild to streamline the setup process and ensure a smoother build experience. Note: Since this is a custom build, you need to run expo prebuild to generate the native code and configurations necessary for the app to run.
- Automated Native Code Generation: Simplifies the process of generating and configuring native code, reducing manual setup.
- Consistent Environments: Ensures that your native code and dependencies are consistent across different development environments.
- Faster Builds: Speeds up the build process by preconfiguring the native setup, allowing you to focus on app development rather than configuration.
This template comes with a full suite of pre-built pages:
- Onboarding
- Sign In
- Sign Up
- Verify Email (with 6-digit OTP sent via email)
- Tabs Page with Drawer Navigation
To get started, create a .env file in the root directory of your project and set the following environment variable:
EXPO_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=
To run this app, you need to create an account on Clerk. After creating an account, set up a new application with only email and username. Navigate to the "Expo" section on your Clerk dashboard to find your publishable key.
Important: Do not install any additional dependencies as Clerk is pre-configured in this project.
- Seamless Integration with Clerk: The template is tightly integrated with Clerk, offering a hassle-free authentication setup.
- Easy to Implement: Clerk’s authentication system can be set up with minimal effort, allowing you to focus on your app's core functionality.
- Comprehensive User Management: With Clerk, you get out-of-the-box user management features, including sign-up, sign-in, and email verification, ensuring a secure and reliable user experience.
- Limited to Clerk Authentication: The template is tightly integrated with Clerk, so switching to a different authentication provider may require additional setup.
