Viewing your app on Expo Snack

The Snack service provided by Expo is a playground for your React Native code. It lets you organize your React Native project files just like you would locally on your computer. If you end up putting something together that is worth building on, you can export your Snack. You can also create an Expo account and save your Snacks to keep working on them or to share them with others. You can find Expo Snack with this link: https://snack.expo.dev/.

We can create a React Native app in Expo Snack from scratch, and it will be stored in an Expo account, or we can import existing projects from a Git repository. The nice thing about importing a repository is that when you push changes to Git, your Snack will also be updated. The Git URL for the example that we’ve worked on in this chapter looks like this: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/React-and-React-Native-5E/tree/main/Chapter17/my-project.

We can click on the Import git repository button...
