<!-- Title --> <h1 align="center"> šŸ‘‹ Welcome to <code>install-expo-modules</code> </h1> <p align="center">A tool for existing React Native projects to adopt <a href="https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/">expo-modules and SDK easier</a>.</p> <!-- Body -->

Usage

Just to run install-expo-modules command in your project:

sh
npx install-expo-modules

After that, you can add other expo-modules you need, e.g. expo-device:

sh
expo install expo-device
# the expo command is from expo-cli. if you don't have this, run `npm -g install expo-cli` to install.

What did install-expo-modules do for your project

  • Install expo package for necessary core and react-native autolinking.
  • Modify your project files to adopt expo-modules. If your project is managed by git, you can use git diff to review whatever install-expo-modules do for you.
  • Since expo-modules' minimal iOS version requirement may be higher than React Native core's, if your ios deployment target is lower, this tool will upgrade your deployment target.
  • pod install at last to update linked modules for iOS.
