This project is a React Native boilerplate that provides an architecture optimized for building solid cross-platform mobile applications through separation of concerns between the UI and business logic to help you kickstart your new app

When starting new apps I found myself repeatedly setting up my project with same packages over and over again so I decided to automate this process

This boilerplate consists of various elements and best practices I learned while going though apps written by various talented developers in the React Native Community ⚑

While this mostly consists of how I organize my projects but can be easily extended to suit any workflow πŸ˜„

If you face any issue then feel free to open a issue so we can solve it together πŸ˜ƒ

Feel free to leave a ⭐ as motivation if this was useful to you πŸ˜„
