What it does
Expo's official example projects - the expo/examples repo of ~70 `with-*` integrations (Stripe, Clerk, Supabase, OpenAI, maps, Reanimated, SQLite, Skia, NativeWind, and more). Use when integrating a third-party library or service into an existing Expo app and you want the canonical, version-matched pattern to adapt, or when scaffolding a new project from one with `npx create-expo --example`.
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
- 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.
- 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:
# Live example names:
gh api repos/expo/examples/contents --jq '.[] | select(.type=="dir" and (.name|startswith(".")|not)) | .name'
# Aliases (renamed) + deprecated (dead/moved) examples, check before recommending:
gh api repos/expo/examples/contents/meta.json --jq '.content' | base64 -d
meta.json is the source of truth for what's renamed or dead (deprecated examples are removed from the repo tree but still listed here, each with a message). If an example is in its deprecated map, don't recommend it, follow the message to the modern path. If it's in aliases, use the destination.
