This project is bootstrapped with npx create-expo-app -t expo-template-blank-typescript. For simplicity in testing, use the Expo Go client, but it can be modified to use EAS builds with development clients. The project uses the latest EXPO SDK, version 49.

• Run npm install expo-cli --global
• Run npm i inside the project folder
• Check TypeScript: npm run ts:check
• Check lint: npm run lint
• Start in production mode: npm run start:production
• Start in development mode: npm run start

Once Metro has started, press i to open the iOS simulator.

There are many wrappers for the PokeAPI available (https://pokeapi.co/docs/v2#wrap), but to demonstrate my skills, I created my own API slice to interact with the PokeAPI. To save time, I used the type definitions available from 'pokenode-ts' to ensure type parity.

This project uses the newest Expo Router (next-generation file-based navigation - https://docs.expo.dev/routing/introduction/). It can also be configured with the latest React Navigation (https://reactnavigation.org/) if preferred.

Redux with Redux Toolkit is used. This is the official Redux wrapper that simplifies most Redux tasks and eliminates a lot of boilerplate code (https://redux.js.org/introduction/why-rtk-is-redux-today).

RTK Query is employed. Similar to React Query but made to work with Redux/RTK (https://redux-toolkit.js.org/rtk-query/overview). This provides both data fetching and caching.

• eslint
• eslint-plugin-react
• eslint-plugin-react-native
• eslint-plugin-react-hooks

• prettier

• Implement Styled Components/Emotion + Theming provider with Emotion.
• Add NetworkProvider to monitor network state and display connection state warnings/errors.
• Enhance error handling with Sentry Integration and performance profiling.
• Integrate analytics and screen tracking (Customer.io/Amplitude/GA, etc.).
• Develop Redux Slice tests and component tests.
• Improve GitHub setup with husky pre-commit hooks, automatic linting, and test runs.

Redux with RTK toolkit was used because the latest Redux framework was a requirement for this assessment. However, I would be interested in completing this assessment using next-gen state management libraries like Recoil (by Facebook - https://recoiljs.org/), Jotai (https://jotai.org/), or Zustand (https://docs.pmnd.rs/zustand/getting-started/introduction).
