This directory contains the apps we use for testing Expo. Do not add new apps to this repository. Each app increases our maintenance costs and complexity of different packages in node_modules that interact with each other in subtle ways. To keep this repository healthy and maintainable, we need to minimize the number of apps we have.
- Test Suite: end-to-end tests that run on Expo
- Native Component List: a showcase of the components and APIs in the default Expo preset
- Home (not in this directory): the UI for the development client
- Sandbox: a project excluded from Git where you can try out things locally
- jest-expo Mock Generator: an app that uses reflection to generate Jest mocks for native modules. Eventually we can remove the need for this once we have a JSON schema for each module definition (Turbomodules) and generate the Jest mock from the JSON schema.
- bare-expo: a project that uses the bare workflow and can load the Test Suite and Native Component List's JS
- standalone-ncl: a standalone app that loads Native Component List. Eventually we should replace this with bare-expo and NCL.
Ideally, we'd just have one directory with a customized project with Xcode and Android Studio projects. The project would have different build targets and include different native modules. We'd have a build target each for the Expo Client, Test Suite (customized, with support for APIs like payments), and Native Component List (customized). These would be the only apps in the repository.
