Set up the development environment by installing Expo CLI ( ) https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup yarn global add expo-cli Create a new project (app): expo init todo-app
# select "blank (TypeScript)" Start the development server: cd todo-app
yarn start

# press w to open the web app Create a To-Do app Prerequisites Install a checkbox component: yarn add react-native-bouncy-checkbox Then create the following folders & files structure: ./todo-app/
   ...
   models/
      todo.model.ts
   components/
      todo.tsx
      todo-list.tsx
      menu.tsx
   views/
      edit-todo.view.tsx
   ... The Data Model Define the data model in the file : models/todo.model.ts interface ITodo {
  id: string
  done: boolean
  text: string
  color: string
}

export default ITodo Basic components Create the component in : Todo components/todo.tsx import React, { useState } from "react";
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import BouncyCheckbox from "react-native-bouncy-checkbox";
import ITodo from "../models/todo.model";

interface ITodoProps {
