🚀 Expo Prototype Starter Script

This repo includes a helper script expo-prototype-starter.sh that bootstraps a new Expo + TypeScript project with your preferred setup and folder structure — perfect for rapid prototyping.

---

📦 What It Does

When you run the script, it will:

1. Prompt you for an app name.

2. Create a new Expo project using the blank TypeScript template.

3. Install the following common dependencies:

   • react-native-reanimated
   • react-native-svg
   • react-native-gesture-handler
   • react-native-screens
   • react-native-safe-area-context
   • zustand
   • @react-navigation/native
   • @react-navigation/native-stack
   • @react-navigation/bottom-tabs
   • react-native-paper
   • date-fns
   • @gorhom/bottom-sheet@^5

4. Copy your custom starter files from template-files/ into the newly created project:

   • navigation/, constants/, components/, data/, types/ → into source/
   • Custom App.tsx → replaces the root app entry file
