Hacktoberfest 2024: Develop a React Native Couchbase Lite Starter Kit!

Calling all React Native developers! This Hacktoberfest, you have an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impact on the Couchbase ecosystem by creating a React Native Couchbase Lite Starter Kit!

While Couchbase offers starter kits for various platforms, we're missing one specifically for React Native with Couchbase Lite integration. This is where YOU can shine! Help us build a React Native starter kit that will empower mobile developers to seamlessly integrate Couchbase Lite into their cross-platform React Native applications.

Your React Native Mission:

TL;DR: Create a React Native app showcasing Couchbase Lite's core features, ensuring cross-platform compatibility, with a detailed README and tests. The final outcome is a new GitHub repo in your account for the starter kit, plus a PR in this repo adding your project to the community contributions section.

• Set up a basic React Native app that integrates Couchbase Lite for local data storage and sync.
• Showcase key Couchbase Lite functionalities using the Couchbase Lite React Native plugin.
• Ensure compatibility with both Android and iOS platforms.
• Craft a detailed README.md with clear setup and usage instructions.
• Develop example screens demonstrating CRUD operations and data sync.
• Implement a test suite to verify Couchbase Lite integration and core functionalities.

Core Requirements:

Your React Native Couchbase Lite starter kit should include:

• Couchbase Lite Integration: Properly initialize and integrate Couchbase Lite in a React Native app.
• Data Operations: Demonstrate CRUD operations using Couchbase Lite.
• Sync Gateway Setup: Provide instructions and sample code for configuring sync with Couchbase Sync Gateway.
• Cross-Platform Support: Ensure the starter kit functions correctly on both Android and iOS.
• State Management: Implement a recommended state management solution (e.g., Redux, MobX) for handling Couchbase Lite data.
• Testing: Add unit and integration tests to validate Couchbase Lite functionality.
• TypeScript Support: Provide TypeScript definitions and examples (optional but recommended).

Helpful Resources:

• MUST READ: Getting Started Guide
• Couchbase Lite React Native Plugin Documentation
• Couchbase Lite Tutorials
• Sample README Template
• Hacktoberfest 2024 Information
