Practical overview

When it fits

Use it at the start of an Ethereum-oriented React Native project when its Expo, WalletConnect and Hardhat starter components fit the intended app.

Who it is for

  • Developers starting Ethereum-enabled React Native projects.
  • Teams seeking one Expo starter structure for Android, iOS and web.
  • Developers who want an example contract and contract testing setup in their generated project.

Documented uses

  • Bootstrap a TypeScript React Native application with Ethereum access.
  • Start a cross-platform app project targeting Android, iOS and web.
  • Use a bundled example contract as a basis for deployment, testing and interaction.
  • Begin with WalletConnect integration, deep linking and environment-file support.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The README directs users to log in to Expo CLI and install it globally before running the npx generator. The repository provides an MIT license.

  • The generated app is based on Expo and targets Android, iOS and web.
  • The example contract is documented for deployment, testing and interaction using Hardhat.
  • WalletConnect is included for wallet connectivity.
  • TypeScript, Prettier, Husky, environment-file support and deep linking are part of the documented starter.
  • The documented blockchain support is Ethereum; other chains are not established.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Generate an Ethereum React Native starter

Create the initial Expo-based Ethereum application described in the project README.

Before you start

  • Log in to Expo CLI before starting, as the README instructs.
  • Install Expo CLI globally with npm.

Steps

  1. Install Expo CLI with the command below.

    Documented command
    npm install -g expo-cli

  2. Run the command below and follow the prompts to create the application.

    Documented command
    npx create-react-native-dapp

Expected outcome

A generated Ethereum-enabled application intended to work on Android, iOS and the web, with an example contract and WalletConnect integration.

Guide limitations

  • The documented setup steps do not establish deployment to a production environment.
  • The repository documents Ethereum support, not compatibility with other chains.
