# Contributing
Thanks for contributing! 😁 Here are some rules that will make your example last as long as possible in the constantly changing React ecosystem.
## Rules
- It's important to keep examples **concise**.
- Start with the [blank example](./blank).
- We use a unified [`.gitignore`](./.gitignore)
- No `package.json` or `app.config.js` values that aren't completely necessary
- Use the new `app.config.js` instead of `app.json`
- Do not include an `app.config.js` unless it has values that are relevant to the example
- Use remote files for the default assets in the `app.config.js`:
- `expo.icon` -- **"https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/master/templates/expo-template-blank/assets/icon.png?raw=true"**
- `expo.splash.image` -- **"https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/master/templates/expo-template-blank/assets/splash.png?raw=true"**
- Don't use the `"sdkVersion"` field in your `app.config.js`, this should be inferred from the installed version of `expo` in the `package.json`.
- If your example `README.md` requires assets like images, place them in a hidden `.gh-assets` folder, ex: `with-your-example/.gh-assets`.
- Limit package versions to patches only in the `package.json`:
```diff
+ "expo-three": "~1.0.0"
- "expo-three": "^1.0.0"
```
## Format
Every example needs a `README.md` that explains how to setup, the motivation behind the example, and what platforms it supports.

## 🚀 How to use
<!-- Setup instructions -->
## 📝 Notes
<!-- Link to related Expo or library docs -->
```
Add a **File Structure** section (between "How to use" and "Notes") if the example reflects a custom workflow:
```
### 📁 File Structure
\```
Expo Gatsby
├── src
│ └── pages ➡️ Routes
│ └── index.tsx ➡️ Entry Point for Gatsby
├── .cache ➡️ Generated Gatsby files (should be ignored)
├── public ➡️ Generated Gatsby files (should be ignored)
├── assets ➡️ All static assets for your project
├── App.tsx ➡️ Entry Point for Mobile apps
├── app.config.js ➡️ Expo config file
├── gatsby-config.js ➡️ Gatsby config file
└── babel.config.js ➡️ Babel config (should be using `babel-preset-expo`)
\```
```
