CLI Reference

build

Start a new Kachindo-ready project in seconds.

Overview

The build command is the fastest way to start a new project. It automates the process of creating a React Native or Expo app and prepares it for Kachindo UI components.

Usage

Terminal

$npx kachindo@latest build

Templates

You can choose between two primary project types when running the build command:

Expo App

The recommended way to build React Native apps. Uses Expo Router and provides a superior developer experience.

React Native CLI

For projects that require deep native integration or custom build logic. Best for experienced native developers.

Workflow

Project Initialization

Downloads the latest project template using 'create-expo-app' or '@react-native-community/cli'.

Structure Setup

Creates the folder hierarchy and configuration files (babel, metro, tailwind).

Next Steps

Provides clear instructions on how to start the app and begin adding components.
