## What it is
A starter template from Microsoft showing how to use TypeScript with React Native, including a detailed README walking through setup and migration. It provides a scaffolded example project configured with the TypeScript transformer and type definitions.

## Use cases
- set up a React Native project with TypeScript
- learn how to configure TypeScript in React Native
- migrate an existing React Native app to TypeScript
- find a TypeScript React Native boilerplate
- configure react-native-typescript-transformer
- get started with typed mobile app development

## When to choose
- starting a new React Native app you want written in TypeScript
- learning how TypeScript tooling integrates with the React Native CLI
- needing a reference for migrating JavaScript React Native code to TypeScript

## When to avoid
- using Expo, which has first-class built-in TypeScript support
- starting a modern React Native project, since current CLI templates include TypeScript by default
- needing an actively maintained template - the repo has not been updated since 2022

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools, build-tool
- domain: mobile-development, tutorials, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform
