Example projects that demonstrate how to use Expo APIs and integrate Expo with other popular tools
Official collection of ~50 runnable Expo starter projects covering auth providers, storage backends, navigation patterns, and third-party service integrations. Primarily useful as copy-paste starting points when scaffolding a new Expo app or wiring up a specific library for the first time. Maintained by the Expo team and kept reasonably current.
Examples span a wide range of real integration scenarios — Clerk, Better Auth, Convex, libSQL, GraphQL, Maestro testing — not just toy demos. The `npx create-expo --example <name>` workflow means you can spin up a working project in seconds without manually copying files. Several examples (with-better-auth, with-clerk) include proper route group structure with Expo Router, not just App.js monoliths. Active maintenance: last push yesterday, and there's an automated upgrade workflow in CI.
Quality is wildly uneven — `with-apollo` is a bare App.js with no Router or TypeScript, while `with-better-auth` has full Prisma migrations and route groups; there's no signal to tell you which examples are current best practice versus legacy. No tests anywhere in the examples themselves, which undercuts the with-maestro example's message. Some integrations (with-aws-storage-upload) depend on Amplify v1 CloudFormation templates that are likely out of date and won't match current Amplify Gen 2 docs. The repo is a flat directory of 50+ folders with no tagging or categorization beyond the name prefix, making discovery awkward.
