Features

Monorepo architecture

Project is using a monorepo approach with TurboRepo to manage multiple packages in a single repository.

Internalization(i18n)

The app supports multiple languages, which is detected by expo-localization including:

Ukrainian
English
French
German
Spanish

i18n is implemented using Lingui library

App versioning and release management

The app uses semantic versioning to manage versions with conventional commits meaning each commit and pull request has a strict format, which allows to generate beautiful changelogs and release notes automatically.

A github PR workflow has a step to validate the PR title using commitlint to ensure that the PR title follows the conventional commits format.

Users can automatically see current app version on home page using expo-constants

Native versions

App uses fingerprint runtimeVersion policy ensure that expo-updates are applied to the correct version of the app.

To automate user-facing app version app.cofig.js takes it from the package.json file of the app package, which is updated automatically by lerna.

Expo tutorial on app versioning

Release management

The app uses lerna to manage versions of the packages in the monorepo, generate changelogs for each package if it was changed, and create Github releases.

Enterprise-grade CI/CD

EAS over the air updates are used to deliver the PRs and production updates to the users, 2 channels are used:

development - for the pull requests
production - for the master branch

All changes are represented as pull requests, each pipeline runs:

Formatting and linting to ensure code quality
Type checking to ensure type safety
Unit tests to ensure code correctness
Copy-paste detection to ensure code uniqueness
Dead code detection to ensure code cleanliness
CodeQL to ensure code security
TODO: Maestro tests to ensure app functionality

These strict rules ensure that the code is of high quality, secure, and maintainable. Also this is very helpful for Copilot and other AI tools

Pull requests

Each pull request creates an EAS preview for the iOS, Android and Web platforms, all info is published as comments to the PR, and web deployment is created.

Master branch

Each commit to the master branch:

creates an EAS OTA update for the iOS, Android and Web production platforms.
creates a new GitHub release with the changelog for the release

Production Web is hosted on Vercel, maybe we will migrate to EAS hosting when it becomes stable.
