Expo Examples

expo/examples is Expo's official library of ~70 integration examples — directories named with-<library> (e.g. with-stripe, with-maps), each built around one library or service. These are not full apps: they're managed projects (no ios//android/ dirs — native setup is via config plugins), and the typical one is a single screen of ~100–200 lines. Mine them for the canonical integration pattern — the dependency set, app.json config plugins, and minimal wiring Expo maintains against the current SDK — and adapt that into the user's app. Don't expect to lift an application architecture from them.

Reach for an example before hand-rolling an integration. (Kinds — full-stack, showcases, starters — are noted in ./references/catalog.md.)

Two modes

1. Inspiration / adapt (most common) — the user already has a project. Find the matching example, read its key files, and apply the pattern to their code.
2. Scaffold — greenfield. Start a fresh project directly from the example.

Workflow

1. Find the right example

Map the user's need to an example name (e.g. payments → with-stripe, auth → with-clerk). ./references/catalog.md is a categorized snapshot for fast triage — but it drifts, so confirm against the live list:
