import React from 'react'; import { View, Text } from 'react-native'; import { ThemedView, ThemedText } from '@components/ThemeView'; // Assuming you use a theme component like the others

export default function EmberrLandingPage() { return ( <ThemedView style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}> <Text style={{ fontSize: 24, fontWeight: 'bold' }}>Welcome to Emberr <Text style={{ fontSize: 16, marginTop: 10 }}>This is your landing page. ); }

Good question! If you're using ThemedView and ThemedText components (from a custom or third-party theming library) to manage light/dark themes or provide consistency in your UI, it’s a good practice to use them in place of the default View and Text components. This ensures that your components adapt to the current theme (light/dark mode) and stay consistent with the rest of the app.

Let’s modify the solution to use ThemedView and ThemedText instead:

1. Updated Header Component using Themed Components

import React from 'react'; import { TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native'; import { ThemedView, ThemedText } from '@components/ThemeView'; // Assuming you have this structure

export default function Header() { return (

Standard Life {/* Handle Logout */}}> Logout

); }

const styles = { headerContainer: { flexDirection: 'row', justifyContent: 'space-between', alignItems: 'center', padding: 16, borderBottomWidth: 1, borderBottomColor: '#ccc', }, headerTitle: { fontSize: 20, fontWeight: 'bold', }, logoutButton: { fontSize: 16, color: '#007bff', // Still using this color for the logout button }, };

2. Updated WelcomeCard Component using Themed Components

import React from 'react'; import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native'; import { ThemedView, ThemedText } from '@components/ThemeView';

export default function WelcomeCard({ username }) { return (

Welcome back, {username} Your pension value: £50,584 {/* Example dynamic value */}

); }

const styles = StyleSheet.create({ cardContainer: { padding: 20, borderRadius: 10, marginVertical: 20, backgroundColor: '#007bff', // Blue background shadowColor: '#000', shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 2 }, shadowOpacity: 0.1, shadowRadius: 5, }, welcomeText: { fontSize: 24, fontWeight: 'bold', color: '#fff', // White text for the blue background }, pensionValue: { marginTop: 10, fontSize: 18, color: '#fff', // White text for the blue background }, });

3. Updated Landing Page with Themed Components

import React from 'react'; import { ScrollView, StyleSheet } from 'react-native'; import { ThemedView } from '@components/ThemeView'; import Header from './Header'; import WelcomeCard from './WelcomeCard';

export default function EmberrLandingPage() { const username = "Andy"; // Replace with dynamic data

return ( <ThemedView style={{ flex: 1 }}> {/ Header /}

  {/* Scrollable content */}
  <ScrollView contentContainerStyle={styles.container}>
    {/* Welcome Card */}
    <WelcomeCard username={username} />

    {/* Additional content (like actions or pension details) */}
  </ScrollView>
</ThemedView>

); }

const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { padding: 16, } });

Why Use Themed Components?

Consistency: Using ThemedView and ThemedText ensures consistent design language across your app.

Theme Adaptation: These components can automatically adapt to light and dark themes. For instance, the ThemedText can adjust its color based on whether dark mode is active, and ThemedView can change its background accordingly.

Centralized Style Management: If you ever want to change the app-wide theming, you can do it from a central place, ensuring all components follow suit without manually tweaking every instance of View or Text.

Conclusion

By switching to ThemedView and ThemedText, you ensure that your landing page will automatically adhere to the current theme of the app, whether it's light or dark mode. The rest of the code remains the same, but you get the added benefit of dynamic theme switching and centralized styling control.

Here is a clearly documented testing strategy for the changes you’ve made regarding the internal route and WAF rules:

---

Testing Strategy for Internal Route Migration and WAF Rules Implementation

Overview:

The testing strategy is aimed at verifying the proper functioning of the internal route /internal/healthcheck and ensuring the WAF rules behave as expected for both non-production and production environments. The migration introduces two main changes: moving the HealthCheck API to an internal route and configuring different WAF rules for non-production and production environments.

Key Scenarios to Test:

1. Non-Production Environment Testing:

Objective: Ensure that the existing WAF rule blocks all external access to APIs, including the new /internal/healthcheck route.

Expected Outcome:

All API endpoints, whether part of the internal routes or not, should return a 403 Forbidden status when accessed from an external IP not part of the Salal internal network.

Requests originating from internal Salal network IPs should successfully access the API, including /internal/healthcheck.

Steps:

1. From an external IP (outside Salal's internal network), attempt to access any API route (e.g., /healthcheck, /internal/healthcheck).

2. Verify that a 403 Forbidden response is returned.

3. From an IP within the Salal internal network, access /internal/healthcheck and confirm the response includes correct health check details.

4. Check that all external routes return 403 Forbidden status for external IPs but are accessible from internal IPs.

5. Production Environment Testing:

Objective: Ensure that the new WAF rule restricts access to /internal/* routes to internal Salal IPs and that the temporary WAF rule effectively blocks all external access during the production migration process.

Expected Outcome:

API routes starting with /internal should be blocked for external IPs but accessible from internal IPs.

Temporary WAF rule should block external IPs from accessing any /internal routes until the migration process is complete.

Post-migration, the /internal/* routes should remain restricted to internal IPs, while other external routes should be accessible as expected.

Steps:

1. From an external IP, attempt to access /internal/healthcheck and confirm a 403 Forbidden response due to the temporary WAF rule.

2. From an IP within the internal Salal network, access /internal/healthcheck and verify that the request is successful.

3. Simulate removal of the temporary WAF rule post-migration:

Test that /internal/* routes remain restricted to internal IPs, while external routes are accessible from external IPs.

4. For external IPs, verify access to external URLs (non-internal routes) and confirm they are accessible post-migration.

5. Ensure that /internal routes still return 403 Forbidden status for non-internal IPs after the temporary rule is removed.

6. Environment Simulation:

Objective: Simulate the production environment in the development environment by modifying environment configurations and replicating WAF rules.

Expected Outcome: The system behaves identically to production, with WAF rules restricting access as outlined above.

Steps:

1. Replicate production WAF settings in the development environment by tweaking the code for environment checks.

2. Test internal and external access to /internal/healthcheck and other routes, ensuring the system replicates production behavior.

3. Confirm that access restrictions follow the correct WAF rules in both pre- and post-migration states.

---

This strategy ensures that both environments are thoroughly tested with respect to the new WAF rules and the movement of the internal routes. Post-migration steps are included to verify that normal operation resumes for external routes, while the internal routes remain restricted.

[DAMSCROW]

Here is the updated test result summary:

In the non-production environment, we confirmed that the existing WAF rule successfully blocks all external access to APIs, including the new /internal/healthcheck route. External requests from IPs outside the SLAL network were correctly denied, ensuring that all APIs remain protected.

In the production environment, after replicating production-like conditions, we verified that the newly implemented WAF rule restricts access to the /internal routes, including /healthcheck, allowing only requests from internal SLAL IPs. The temporary WAF rule was also validated to block access from any external IPs during the production migration process. Once the temporary rule was removed, the /internal routes remained accessible only to internal IPs, while external APIs were accessible from any IP.

All results indicate that both environments are functioning as required, with proper restrictions in place.

To use the Card component defined in your Card.tsx file in a dashboard page, you can import the Card component and place it within your dashboard layout. Below is an example of how you can integrate the Card component into your dashboard page in React Native.

Example: Dashboard Page

import React from 'react'; import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native'; import Card from '../path-to-your-card/Card'; // Adjust the path based on your file structure

const Dashboard = () => { return (

Dashboard {/* Example of using the Card component */} Card 1 Content Card 2 Content {/* Add more cards as needed */} Card 3 Content

); };

const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, padding: 20, backgroundColor: '#f5f5f5', }, title: { fontSize: 24, fontWeight: 'bold', marginBottom: 20, }, cardContent: { fontSize: 16, color: '#333', }, });

export default Dashboard;

Breakdown:

1. Importing the Card: The Card component is imported from the path where the Card.tsx is located. Make sure to adjust the import path based on where your Card component is in the directory structure.

2. Using the Card:

Inside the Dashboard component, each Card is used with different props (elevated, filled).

The content of the card is passed using the children prop, in this case, Text components.

3. Styling:

The container styles define the layout of the dashboard, ensuring the cards are nicely spaced out.

title defines the appearance of the page title.

cardContent defines how the text inside the card looks.

You can add more content or customize the cards as needed based on your design and layout.

Would you like more details on styling or specific use cases for the Card component?

In your project, the _layout.tsx file is used within the context of the Expo Router, specifically when organizing how pages and components are displayed. Let's first break down how Expo Router works and then dive into the purpose of the _layout.tsx file.

How Expo Router Works

Expo Router is an extension for React Navigation designed to simplify navigation in Expo apps. It allows you to manage your app’s pages and navigation using a file-based approach, which can reduce boilerplate and make the structure more intuitive.

How Expo Router Differs:

File-based Routing: Pages and routes are directly tied to files in your project. If you create a file, for instance, pages/profile.tsx, it automatically becomes a route at /profile.

Dynamic Routing: You can use dynamic file names to create routes with variables. For example, [id].tsx could represent a dynamic route where id is a variable.

Files and Structure in Expo Router

1. Root Folder (app or pages):

The folder containing your routing files. Any file or directory here represents a route.

2. _layout.tsx:

This is a special layout file that acts as a wrapper for all routes under the folder it is in.

The layout.tsx file defines shared layout components (such as headers, footers, and sidebars) that will be rendered for every route inside its directory.

Example: If you have dashboard/ as a folder and a _layout.tsx file inside it, every route under dashboard/ will be wrapped by whatever is defined in _layout.tsx.

3. Dynamic Routes (e.g., [id].tsx):

Dynamic files (enclosed in square brackets) represent parameters in the route path. For example, [id].tsx would match /user/1, /user/2, etc.

4. Index.tsx:

The index.tsx file in any folder represents the default page or component for that directory route.

Example: If you have pages/index.tsx, it would represent the / route, or the homepage.

5. 404 or Error Handling (404.tsx):

If a user navigates to a route that doesn’t exist, the 404.tsx page (if defined) will handle showing a "Page Not Found" error.

Purpose of the Router

The primary purpose of Expo Router is to manage navigation within your app, allowing users to transition between different screens seamlessly. It abstracts away a lot of the manual configuration that usually comes with routing by using the file structure as the basis for creating the routes.

Main Benefits:

Simplifies navigation.

Reduces the need for manually defining routes in a configuration file.

Encourages an organized file structure where each page corresponds to a route.

Summary of the _layout.tsx File

In your case, the _layout.tsx file likely:

Wraps all child components in a common layout, such as a navigation bar or header.

Ensures that common providers (e.g., theme or context providers) are applied to every page under that folder.

This structure helps in keeping things DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), ensuring consistent layouts and components across related routes.

Would you like a deeper dive into any of these concepts, or more specific guidance on your current project setup?

[DAMSCROW]

Based on the screenshot, it appears that the root folder in your project is indeed named apps, which contains a subfolder called dashboard. This structure suggests that you're working in a monorepo setup where multiple applications (like dashboard) are organized under the apps directory.

Inside the dashboard folder, there is an app subdirectory, which contains your routing files, such as _layout.tsx, index.tsx, etc. This is the expected structure for projects using file-based routing in Expo Router, where the app directory is used to define routes and navigation.

So, the root folder for your specific application seems to be apps/dashboard/app/. This app folder likely contains the file-based routes for the dashboard part of your project. The apps directory at the root level is organizing your multiple apps, and within each app (like dashboard), you define the routing.

Summary:

The root folder for the entire project is apps.

The root folder for the dashboard application is apps/dashboard/app, and this is where your routing logic is defined.

This structure is common for projects with multiple applications (monorepos) where each application has its own routing under a shared root.

Does that match what you're seeing? Would you like more clarification on setting up routes within this structure?

Yes, using the _layout.tsx file as a layout page for your application structure is a great approach for implementing the design of your homepage. Here’s how you can structure it:

Why Use _layout.tsx

The _layout.tsx file acts as a wrapper for all the pages and components within a directory. In your case, it can serve as the base layout that includes the header (with the logo and logout button), a footer, and dynamic content that changes based on the route or page the user navigates to.

Implementation Steps:

1. Create the Layout Structure in _layout.tsx:

Define your header and footer as static elements that appear on every page.

Use the {children} prop to dynamically render the content for each page inside the layout. The {children} represents whatever component or content is part of the route being navigated to.

2. Dynamic Content:

When you navigate to different pages (e.g., dashboard/home, dashboard/profile), the dynamic content will be inserted into the layout without changing the header or footer.

3. Remove Temporary Files:

Since the current index.tsx and other files are temporary, you can remove or replace them with your real page components.

Sample Code:

Here’s a basic implementation for your _layout.tsx file:

import React from 'react'; import { View } from 'react-native'; import Header from '../components/Header'; // Your header component import Footer from '../components/Footer'; // Your footer component

export default function RootLayout({ children }) { return ( <View style={{ flex: 1 }}> {/ Header /}

  {/* Dynamic Content */}
  <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
    {children}
  </View>

  {/* Footer */}
  <Footer />
</View>

); }

Header Component (Header.tsx):

import React from 'react'; import { View, Text, Button } from 'react-native';

export default function Header() { return ( <View style={{ padding: 10, backgroundColor: '#blue' }}>

Standard Life

  <Button title="Logout" onPress={() => {/* handle logout */}} />
</View>

); }

Footer Component (Footer.tsx):

import React from 'react'; import { View, Text } from 'react-native';

export default function Footer() { return ( <View style={{ padding: 10, backgroundColor: '#blue' }}>

Footer Content

</View>

); }

Dynamic Pages:

Each page in your app folder will automatically use the layout defined in _layout.tsx. You just need to create your pages inside the app directory like:

home.tsx

profile.tsx

Each of these files will represent a route and render inside the {children} part of your layout.

Summary:

The _layout.tsx file can act as a template for your app’s common layout (header, footer, dynamic content).

The dynamic content (like the main body of your homepage or other pages) can be different based on which route is accessed, but the header and footer will stay constant.

This approach will ensure a clean and scalable structure for your homepage and other pages. Let me know if you need further help with any part of this setup!

export default function Header() { return ( <View style={{ padding: 10, backgroundColor: '#blue' }}>

Standard Life

  <Button title="Logout" onPress={() => {/* handle logout */}} />

import React from 'react'; import { View, Text } from 'react-native';

export default function Footer() { return ( <View style={{ padding: 10, backgroundColor: '#blue' }}>

Footer Content

); }

Dynamic Pages:

Each page in your app folder will automatically use the layout defined in _layout.tsx. You just need to create your pages inside the app directory like:

home.tsx

profile.tsx

Each of these files will represent a route and render inside the {children} part of your layout.

Summary:

The _layout.tsx file can act as a template for your app’s common layout (header, footer, dynamic content).

The dynamic content (like the main body of your homepage or other pages) can be different based on which route is accessed, but the header and footer will stay constant.

This approach will ensure a clean and scalable structure for your homepage and other pages. Let me know if you need further help with any part of this setup!

No, you don’t need to manually handle route logic like if pathname === '/dashboard-home' inside the layout.tsx file. The routing libraries such as React Navigation or Expo Router will automatically inject the correct content based on the route you're navigating to.

How to Dynamically Inject Content Without Manually Writing Logic for Each Route

If you're using Expo Router, you can define dynamic content without hardcoding paths in the layout. Here's how:

1. Set Up Your Routing Structure: In the app directory, you can define your pages like dashboard-home.tsx and dashboard-profile.tsx. The Expo Router will automatically map these files to the corresponding routes.

For example:

app/ ├── dashboard-home.tsx ├── dashboard-profile.tsx └── _layout.tsx

2. Use the Layout as a Wrapper: In your _layout.tsx, you don’t need to handle the route logic manually. Just define the structure, and the children will automatically be the content of the current route.

import { View } from 'react-native'; import Header from './components/Header'; import Footer from './components/Footer';

export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) { return ( <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>

  <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
    {children} {/* Dynamic content injected here */}
  </View>
  <Footer />
</View>

); }

3. Page Components (Dynamic Content): Define each page separately in the app/ folder. For example, the dashboard-home.tsx file can have its content:

// app/dashboard-home.tsx import { Text, View } from 'react-native';

export default function DashboardHome() { return (

Welcome to Dashboard Home!

); }

And another page for profile:

// app/dashboard-profile.tsx import { Text, View } from 'react-native';

export default function DashboardProfile() { return (

This is your profile page.

); }

4. Routing Automatically Works: When you navigate to /dashboard-home or /dashboard-profile, the children prop in the layout.tsx will automatically get replaced with the content of DashboardHome or DashboardProfile without you needing to write extra logic in the layout.

Key Points:

No manual logic required inside _layout.tsx for each route.

The layout is just a wrapper for all your pages.

Routes are automatically mapped based on file structure.

Yes, using the _layout.tsx file as a layout page for your application structure is a great approach for implementing the design of your homepage. Here’s how you can structure it:

Why Use _layout.tsx

The _layout.tsx file acts as a wrapper for all the pages and components within a directory. In your case, it can serve as the base layout that includes the header (with the logo and logout button), a footer, and dynamic content that changes based on the route or page the user navigates to.

Implementation Steps:

1. Create the Layout Structure in _layout.tsx:

Define your header and footer as static elements that appear on every page.

Use the {children} prop to dynamically render the content for each page inside the layout. The {children} represents whatever component or content is part of the route being navigated to.

2. Dynamic Content:

When you navigate to different pages (e.g., dashboard/home, dashboard/profile), the dynamic content will be inserted into the layout without changing the header or footer.

3. Remove Temporary Files:

Since the current index.tsx and other files are temporary, you can remove or replace them with your real page components.

Sample Code:

Here’s a basic implementation for your _layout.tsx file:

import React from 'react'; import { View } from 'react-native'; import Header from '../components/Header'; // Your header component import Footer from '../components/Footer'; // Your footer component

export default function RootLayout({ children }) { return ( <View style={{ flex: 1 }}> {/ Header /}

  {/* Dynamic Content */}
  <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
    {children}
  </View>

  {/* Footer */}
  <Footer />
</View>

); }

Header Component (Header.tsx):

import React from 'react'; import { View, Text, Button } from 'react-native';

export default function Header() { return ( <View style={{ padding: 10, backgroundColor: '#blue' }}>

); }

Footer Component (Footer.tsx):

The layout is just a wrapper for all your pages.

Routes are automatically mapped based on file structure.

The issue you're facing, where the header and footer are displayed correctly but the dynamic content (like dashboard-home and dashboard-profile) isn't showing up or isn't working in the browser, could be due to a few possible reasons. Let's go through some troubleshooting steps:

1. Routing File Structure:

Ensure that the routing files (dashboard-home.tsx and dashboard-profile.tsx) are placed correctly inside your app directory. Expo Router relies on the folder and file structure for routing. The file structure should look something like this:

app/ ├── _layout.tsx ├── dashboard-home.tsx └── dashboard-profile.tsx

The _layout.tsx file should wrap around dashboard-home and dashboard-profile automatically based on the route.

2. Correct Routes in the Browser:

Check the URLs you're entering in the browser. If you're navigating to /dashboard-profile, ensure that the file structure and page naming conventions align. Expo Router matches routes directly to file names.

To access the profile page, the URL should be localhost:8081/dashboard-profile.

For the home page, it should be localhost:8081/dashboard-home.

3. Check Your Layout Component:

Make sure your _layout.tsx file is correctly using the children prop to render the dynamic content. It should look something like this:

import { View } from 'react-native'; import Header from './components/Header'; import Footer from './components/Footer';

export default function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) { return ( <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>

  <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
    {children} {/* This should render the content of the current route */}
  </View>
  <Footer />
</View>

); }

4. Check for Missing Exports or Imports:

Ensure that the page components like DashboardHome and DashboardProfile are correctly exported from their respective files:

// app/dashboard-home.tsx export default function DashboardHome() { return Welcome to the Dashboard Home!; }

// app/dashboard-profile.tsx export default function DashboardProfile() { return This is the Profile Page; }

If these components aren't exported properly, the layout won't be able to inject the content.

5. Check for Errors in the Console:

Open your browser's developer tools and check the console for any errors. There could be something wrong with how the routing is handled, or there might be an issue with loading the components.

6. Case Sensitivity in Filenames:

Ensure the filenames and route paths are case-sensitive. For instance, dashboard-home.tsx will map to /dashboard-home. If the file is named incorrectly (like Dashboard-Home.tsx), it could cause routing problems.

Competitors in the industry primarily rely on traditional cloud-based solutions with basic CI/CD pipelines, often lacking advanced automation and integrated security. Many offer single-cloud environments without full integration of blue-green architecture, resulting in more downtime during updates. While competitors address accessibility to some extent, they often fall short of our comprehensive automated testing approach that ensures WCAG 2.0 compliance. Security is also typically treated reactively, unlike our proactive use of AWS Advanced Shield, WAF, and continuous monitoring for robust protection.

Summary of Issue:

I'm implementing Expo Router for a single-tabbed dashboard application with a static header, footer, and dynamic content area. Currently, I have the _layout.tsx file acting as the main template and am using file-based routing. However, I'm facing an issue where the dynamic components are not rendering as expected. Despite confirming the header and footer display correctly, the dynamic content between them does not load.

Additionally, I'm exploring whether using Stacks within _layout.tsx might better handle routing for dynamic content. Any insights on resolving this rendering issue or advice on the potential benefits of using Stacks versus file-based routing would be greatly appreciated.

To implement routing with a static header, footer, and dynamic content area using Stacks in Expo Router, here’s how you can set up your _layout.tsx file and other components.

1. Set Up _layout.tsx with a Stack

In _layout.tsx, you’ll create a structure where the static header and footer are rendered only once, while dynamic content changes as users navigate between screens within the stack. Here's how:

Import the Stack component from Expo Router.

Define your static components (header and footer).

Use within the main content area, specifying each screen as a Stack.Screen.

// app/_layout.tsx import { Stack } from 'expo-router'; import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export default function Layout() { return (

{/* Static Header */} Header {/* Dynamic Content Area */} {/* Define Screens Here */} {/* Static Footer */} Footer

); }

const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1 }, header: { height: 60, backgroundColor: 'lightblue', justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }, footer: { height: 60, backgroundColor: 'lightgrey', justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }, });

Explanation:

Static Header and Footer: These are outside of the component, so they remain on-screen across navigations.

Dynamic Content with Stack: The component manages the dynamic content, where each screen (e.g., index, welcome, details) corresponds to a .tsx file in your app directory.

2. Create Route Files for Dynamic Content

Each screen referenced by Stack.Screen (e.g., index, welcome, details) needs a .tsx file in the app directory.

For example:

// app/index.tsx import { View, Text, Button } from 'react-native'; import { useRouter } from 'expo-router';

export default function HomeScreen() { const router = useRouter();

return ( <View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>

Home Screen

  <Button title="Go to Welcome" onPress={() => router.push('/welcome')} />
</View>

); }

// app/welcome.tsx import { View, Text } from 'react-native';

export default function WelcomeScreen() { return ( <View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>

Welcome Screen

</View>

); }

Each file in the app directory becomes a route. The stack manages transitions between these routes, displaying content between the static header and footer.

Key Points for Implementation

1. Configure Stack Navigation: Each entry in _layout.tsx should correspond to a .tsx file within the app directory.

2. Navigation Options: You can adjust navigation options, such as headerShown: false, within screenOptions to ensure the native header is hidden if you prefer only the custom header.

3. File-based Routing: As soon as you add a .tsx file in the app folder, it automatically becomes a route available for navigation.

Using the Stack approach in Expo Router allows for a flexible structure, as stacks can manage the history and transitions between screens, making it ideal for apps with both static and dynamic sections.

For more details, see the Expo Router documentation on file-based routing and stacks: .

The index.tsx file, which serves as the home screen or root route of your app, contains the main content that users see when they first open the app. Here’s an example of what index.tsx could look like in your project, assuming you’re using Expo Router and implementing a simple welcome message with navigation to other screens.

Example index.tsx File

// app/index.tsx import { View, Text, Button, StyleSheet } from 'react-native'; import { useRouter } from 'expo-router';

export default function HomeScreen() { const router = useRouter();

return (

Welcome to the App! This is the home screen. router.push('/welcome')} /> router.push('/details')} />

); }

const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center', padding: 16, }, title: { fontSize: 24, fontWeight: 'bold', marginBottom: 16, }, subtitle: { fontSize: 16, color: 'gray', marginBottom: 32, }, });

Explanation of Code

useRouter from expo-router: This hook allows navigation between screens. router.push('/welcome') and router.push('/details') navigate to the welcome and details routes, respectively.

Layout: A View container with some text and buttons for navigation keeps things organized. You can further style this screen or add more information as needed.

Key Points

This file is automatically mapped to the root URL (/), so users see it by default when the app opens.

The router.push function makes navigation quick and straightforward, following Expo Router’s approach to file-based routing.

This structure makes it easy to add additional routes and functionality as your app grows, following Expo Router's file-based routing conventions.

); }

const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1 }, header: { height: 60, backgroundColor: 'lightblue', justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }, footer: { height: 60, backgroundColor: 'lightgrey', justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }, });

); }

const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1 }, header: { height: 60, backgroundColor: 'lightblue', justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }, footer: { height: 60, backgroundColor: 'lightgrey', justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }, });

// app/details.tsx import { View, Text, Button, StyleSheet } from 'react-native'; import { useRouter } from 'expo-router';

export default function DetailsScreen() { const router = useRouter();

return (

Details Screen Here is some detailed information. router.push('/')} />

); }

const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center', padding: 16, }, title: { fontSize: 24, fontWeight: 'bold', marginBottom: 16, }, subtitle: { fontSize: 16, color: 'gray', marginBottom: 32, }, });

If you don’t have an App.js file in your Expo project, that's fine—Expo projects can be configured without one by using app.json along with index.tsx as the entry point. Here's how to ensure everything is set up correctly:

1. Verify Entry Point:

In app.json, make sure that the "main" entry is set to index.tsx or index.js. This tells Expo to start the application from this file.

Your app.json should look like this:

{ "expo": { "name": "YourApp", "slug": "your-app", "version": "1.0.0", "orientation": "portrait", "platforms": ["ios", "android", "web"], "main": "index.tsx", // Set this to your main entry point ... } }

2. Create index.tsx:

If index.tsx is the entry point, it should import and register your main app component. Here’s an example of what index.tsx should look like:

import { registerRootComponent } from 'expo'; import App from './App';

registerRootComponent(App);

The registerRootComponent function from Expo will ensure your app runs properly on all platforms.

3. Create App.tsx (if needed):

You can also create App.tsx to serve as the main application component, which will be loaded by index.tsx. It would look something like this:

import React from 'react'; import { View, Text } from 'react-native';

export default function App() { return (

Welcome to your Expo App!

); }

4. Clear the Cache and Restart:

After setting up app.json, index.tsx, and App.tsx, clear the cache and restart Expo using:

expo start -c

By following these steps, you should be able to set up the entry point correctly without needing an App.js file. This setup will let Expo know where to start the app and handle the rendering. Let me know if this resolves the blank screen issue!
