Brief Description
This template scaffolds a Mobile Hybrid App built with React Native for the frontend and Express.js for the backend API.
It enables developers to quickly build mobile applications that communicate with a robust backend server out-of-the-box.
The template will include:
- A pre-configured Express API with sample routes and JWT authentication.
- A React Native mobile interface (login/signup screen, API integration examples).
- Folder structure optimized for scalability (frontend and backend separated).
- Ready-to-run instructions and scripts for local development (
npm run dev/yarn start).
This will help developers prototype full-stack mobile apps instantly using the universal-box init command, eliminating the hassle of configuring mobile-backend integration manually.
