expo-ts VS prettier-plugin-sort-imports

TLDR You can use one command npx create-expo-app -t expo-ts to create new React Native project with all tools already setup for you (see README for details) or follow instructions below. 🤓

For most conventions regarding file structure, I would use tools like ESLint / Prettier instead of trying to enforce it with comments. For example this Prettier plugin allows you to enforce a specific import order without any extra effort.

Unsorted imports look ugly. Also, it could be hard to read and add new imports. So why not sort them automatically? We can do it with trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports.

Your suggestion to sort imports is valid, but depends on VSCode as an IDE. It would be better to use Prettier with this plugin that sorts imports for you.

Despite the existence of Prettier, arguments about code style such as how to sort ES module imports still exist. Manually sorting ES modules wastes time, and usually leads to losing context when you are writing code and then have to navigate to the top of a file to modify your import statements. I love using the @trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports plugin which automatically sorts new imports, and works perfectly together with TypeScript's auto-import feature. Similarly, prettier-plugin-tailwindcss automatically sorts Tailwind classes in your code.
