why react native project is creating in typescript i want app js

Question

Can i know why react native project is creating in typescript ? i want app.js

Answer 1

React Native may default to TypeScript based on the latest templates. To create a project with JavaScript (`App.js`), follow these steps:  

Solution 1: Create a JavaScript Project Directly

Run:  

npx react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-js

Solution 2: Convert TypeScript to JavaScript Manually

1. Rename `App.tsx` → `App.js`  

2. Remove TypeScript Dependencies  

   npm uninstall typescript @types/react @types/react-native

3. Restart Metro Bundler  

   npm start --reset-cache
