Installation in bare React Native projects

Monorepo Support

In a monorepo, the expo-constants package might be in a different folder than the native scripts are expecting. You can easily symlink the node module to your app's local node_modules folder by doing the following:

• Follow the setup instructions for expo-yarn-workspaces.
• Add the following configuration to your app's package.json:

{
  "expo-yarn-workspaces": {
    "symlinks": ["expo-constants"]
  }
}

• Finally, run yarn in the app folder to create symlinks to expo-constants in your app's local node_modules folder.
