ignite VS ESLint

You'll learn lot more without Expo. It makes things lot easier/faster but will give you problems later. I recommend you to start with cli, and if you want to avoid tedious tasks of setting up things, go ahead with Ignite or another boilerplate that has already all the basic libraries set up (react navigation, state, UI, etc.) so you just can begin with your project logic/code https://github.com/infinitered/ignite

You should check out the react native boilerplate by Ignite: https://github.com/infinitered/ignite

I recently picked up react native, though I had a good amount of experience with React already and much of it is similar. Except for working with the file system and tooling.

One good boilerplate I’d recommend having a look at is https://github.com/infinitered/ignite not a course but possibly a good resource to learn from.

I've been using the Ignite boilerplate (with Expo enabled) and I'm quite happy with it. It contains everything I need, nicely structured.

ESLint: A pluggable and configurable linter tool for identifying and reporting on patterns in JavaScript.

Automating code checks with static code analysis allows us to enforce code styling effectively. By integrating tools into our workflow, we can identify errors at an early stage, while coding instead of blocking us at the end. For instance, flake8 checks Python code for style and errors, eslint performs similar checks for JavaScript, and prettier automatically formats code to maintain consistency.

If you're a developer, you're surely familiar with Prettier and ESLint. With over 8 years of existence, they have established themselves as references in the JavaScript ecosystem.

eslint is used to avoid code errors

No lint errors: The committed code does not contain any lint errors (eslint).

Let’s walk through the steps for a one-time setup to configure husky pre-commit and pre-push hooks, ESLint with code styles conventions, prettier code formatter, and lint-staged. Husky automatically runs a script on each commit or push. This is useful for linting files to enforce code styles that keeps the entire code base following conventions.

1. Lack of Static Code Analysis Static code analysis tools like TypeScript and ESLint play a crucial role in identifying and preventing bugs. TypeScript provides static typing, enhancing the robustness of the code. ESLint detects issues and enforces coding standards. The absence of these tools can significantly elevate the likelihood of bugs due to the lack of early detection and guidance provided during development.
