How to create a native module with the Expo modules API

[@promisesheggs8863]

I love this new initiative from the expo team. Putting out very informative content on the Expo youtube channel helps alot. I look forward to more of this.

[@MarkWettinger]

Agreed, very helpful!

great video! about time Expo is offering videos like these! Thumbs up! how about a voice recognition video using the device's native engine for any language (no time limit option) ... that would be awesome! (ios / android)

[@sandylewis79]

Wow, what a great video. Thank you so much for this.

[@fercervantesx]

Thanks for the tutorial! Really helpful! I just finished creating my expo module, now how do I publish it?

[@josephmgift]

Awesome

I installed it locally and it worked perfectly, but when I published it on npm and tried to use it in another expo project I received the following error:
Error: Cannot find native module 'ExpoBarcode', js engine: hermes
What do I do ?

[@GabrielLogan17]

Apparently it only works with npx expo run:android or npx expo run:ios, but it's not working with expo go, only on emulators. My native expo module won't work on expo go?

[@GabrielLogan17]

I tested a native lib of mine with react native cli, and it also worked with expo bare, but then the expo modules becomes useless because I don't see the purpose of doing something with expo when I can do it with react native and get the same result with expo, and even get a better result with react native. I wanted to understand more about why... AND IF there is a way for me to run my native lib downloaded from npm in expo GO if not... Expo modules are of no use to common users as I said.

create a expo development client to use the module

Good question, I want to know also

[@sahilverma_dev]

can i create a native module in windows?

[@oliverloops.]

Yes but the only exception is Xcode support, but you can use VScode and a Swift highlight extension directly to add or modify Swift code

[@sahilverma_dev]

@@oliverloops. I am not sure about it I am not even able to make a project
i am getting
set -eo pipefail
error everytime

[@frammolzamanda3129]

@@sahilverma_dev The initialization script for create-expo-module currently only supports Unix-like systems. What you need to do is switch to Linux or macOS for development, or rewrite a set of initialization scripts that support Windows.

[@sahilverma_dev]

@@frammolzamanda3129 yeah just got to know about this.
Thankx for the reply

[@shaoncode]

I wonder why you set the setTheme in the dependency array instead of the theme?

[@omarms3341]

Could you please check this tutorial on windows ? just the android part

[@akosbalint3485]

Could you check/run this tutorial on windows? I have error even at creating an empty module.

[@ExpoDevelopers]

You need a mac to develop an iOS module!
