Note
Make sure to follow the system requirements specified in package.json#engines
before proceeding.
There are two ways of initializing an app using the create-yuki-turbo
starter. You can either use this repository as a template:
Click the "Use this template" button on the top right of the repository,
or use Turbo's CLI to init your project (use Bun as package manager):
bun create turbo@latest --example https://github.com/tiesen243/create-yuki-turbo
This template is based on create-t3-turbo by @t3-oss with some modifications to fit my personal preferences.
It uses Turborepo and contains:

In this template, we use
@yuki
as a placeholder for package names. As a user, you might want to replace it with your own organization or project name. You can use find-and-replace to change all the instances of@yuki
to something like@my-company
or@project-name
.
Note The db package is preconfigured to use Neon and is edge-bound. If you're using something else, make the necessary modifications to the schema as well as the client. If you want to switch to non-edge database driver, remove
export const runtime = "edge";
from all pages and api routes.
To get it running, follow the steps below:
# Install dependencies
bun i
# Configure environment variables
# There is an `.env.example` in the root directory you can use for reference
cp .env.example .env
# Push the Drizzle schema to the database
bun db:push
-
Make sure you have XCode and XCommand Line Tools installed as shown on expo docs.
NOTE: If you just installed XCode, or if you have updated it, you need to open the simulator manually once. Run
npx expo start
fromapps/native
, and then enterI
to launch Expo Go. After the manual launch, you can runbun dev
in the root directory.+ "dev": "expo start --ios",
-
Run
bun dev
at the project root folder.
-
Install Android Studio tools as shown on expo docs.
-
Change the
dev
script atapps/native/package.json
to open the Android emulator.+ "dev": "expo start --android",
-
Run
bun dev
at the project root folder.
In order to get Auth to work with Expo, you must:
The packages/auth directory contains an OAuth proxy server. Deploy nextjs
app and set the AUTH_PROXY_URL
environment variable to the proxy's URL to enable OAuth for Expo apps in both preview deployments and development environments.
This proxy server approach forwards authentication requests from Next.js apps to handle the OAuth flow, then redirects back to your app. The advantage is maintaining a stable, publicly accessible URL that works regardless of deployment changes or local port assignments (e.g., if your Next.js app runs on port 3001 instead of 3000, authentication still functions without reconfiguring OAuth providers).
Run the ui-add
script to add a new UI component using the interactive shadcn/ui
CLI:
bun ui-add
When the component(s) has been installed, you should be good to go and start using it in your app.
To add a new package, simply run bun turbo gen init
in the monorepo root. This will prompt you for a package name as well as if you want to install any dependencies to the new package (of course you can also do this yourself later).
The generator sets up the package.json
, tsconfig.json
and a index.ts
, as well as configures all the necessary configurations for tooling around your package such as formatting, linting and typechecking. When the package is created, you're ready to go build out the package.
To update the dependencies, run the following command:
bun bump-deps
This will update all the dependencies in the monorepos to the latest version.
Let's deploy the Next.js application to Vercel. If you've never deployed a Turborepo app there, don't worry, the steps are quite straightforward. You can also read the official Turborepo guide on deploying to Vercel.
-
Create a new project on Vercel, select the
apps/nextjs
orapps/react-router
orapps/tanstack-start
folder as the root directory. Vercel's zero-config system should handle all configurations for you. -
Add your environment variable. See
.env.example
for required variables. -
Done! Your app should successfully deploy.
Deploying your Expo application works slightly differently compared to Next.js on the web. Instead of "deploying" your app online, you need to submit production builds of your app to app stores, like Apple App Store and Google Play. You can read the full guide to distributing your app, including best practices, in the Expo docs.
-
Let's start by setting up EAS Build, which is short for Expo Application Services. The build service helps you create builds of your app, without requiring a full native development setup. The commands below are a summary of Creating your first build.
# Install the EAS CLI bun add -g eas-cli # Log in with your Expo account eas login # Configure your Expo app cd apps/native eas build:configure
-
After the initial setup, you can create your first build. You can build for Android and iOS platforms and use different
eas.json
build profiles to create production builds or development, or test builds. Let's make a production build for iOS. -
After the initial setup, you can create your first build. You can build for Android and iOS platforms and use different
eas.json
build profiles to create production builds or development, or test builds. Let's make a production build for iOS.eas build --platform ios --profile production
If you don't specify the
--profile
flag, EAS uses theproduction
profile by default. -
Now that you have your first production build, you can submit this to the stores. EAS Submit can help you send the build to the stores.
eas submit --platform ios --latest
You can also combine build and submit in a single command, using
eas build ... --auto-submit
. -
Before you can get your app in the hands of your users, you'll have to provide additional information to the app stores. This includes screenshots, app information, privacy policies, etc. While still in preview, EAS Metadata can help you with most of this information.
-
Once everything is approved, your users can finally enjoy your app. Let's say you spotted a small typo; you'll have to create a new build, submit it to the stores, and wait for approval before you can resolve this issue. In these cases, you can use EAS Update to quickly send a small bugfix to your users without going through this long process. Let's start by setting up EAS Update.
The steps below summarize the Getting started with EAS Update guide.
# Add the `expo-updates` library to your Expo app cd apps/native bun expo install expo-updates # Configure EAS Update eas update:configure
-
Before we can send out updates to your app, you have to create a new build and submit it to the app stores. For every change that includes native APIs, you have to rebuild the app and submit the update to the app stores. See steps 2 and 3.
-
Now that everything is ready for updates, let's create a new update for
production
builds. With the--auto
flag, EAS Update uses your current git branch name and commit message for this update. See How EAS Update works for more information.cd apps/native eas update --auto
Your OTA (Over The Air) updates must always follow the app store's rules. You can't change your app's primary functionality without getting app store approval. But this is a fast way to update your app for minor changes and bug fixes.
-
Done! Now that you have created your production build, submitted it to the stores, and installed EAS Update, you are ready for anything!
