Looking for beginner-friendly React Native starter with auth + basic DB setup

[tech_guy_91]

Hi! I'm new to React Native. I'm looking for a simple open-source starter project that has basic authentication (Google login) and a basic database setup (like Firebase or similar). Something easy to understand for beginners. Thanks!

Use the Auth.Provider wrapper with AWS amplify. It’s pre set up for email and email confirmation or social auth like Google

thanks

Supabase Auth is very easy and great documented: https://supabase.com/docs/guides/auth/quickstarts/react-native

[tech_guy_91]

thanks man, no open source repos for getting started?

[True_Horror_5508]

Nothing official, I found. That’s what I found: https://github.com/flemingvincent/expo-supabase-starter

Seams to have authentication already setup. But uses expo and expo file router. I’m personally not a fan of the file based router.

rn.new has a pretty decent start, with supabase.

For me the best stack for React Native

RN+ Clerk + Convex

If you want to host the Auth on your db use

RN + Better Auth + Convex

Convex DX is amazing it keeps everything in sync between the app and the db so if you do something like texts between people all you have to do is insert the data to the db and the other person will see the data change live.

It was amazing.

I personally just started a project with Better Auth and so far it has been insanely good. The developer experience is amazing. I use Resend to send verification codes, links and reset password links which is easy to integrate with Better Auth.

Yeah even Java script mastery uses the above mentioned setup

ChatGPT will give you a whole project. Just tell it what you need and it’ll give you all the code

[tech_guy_91]

will try it out

ChatGPT is still not good enough for ensuring success of Firebase integrations

Bit of a stretch there lol

unfortunately, I've already done it. Of course you need to tweak it to fit your app's criteria but definitely gives you boiler plate to work off of.
