Expo Examples

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`.
