# Create Local Expo Module

## Installation

### Creating the Local Expo Module

To create a local Expo module, ensure you are in the root of your project and run the following command:

```bash
npx create-expo-module caf-smart-auth-react-native --local 
```

Expo will prompt you with the following questions during setup:

* **What is the name of the local module?** caf-smart-auth-react-native
* **What is the native module name?** CafSmartAuthBridgeModule
* **What is the Android package name?** your-package-name

The module will be created in the following directory:

```bash
YourApp/modules/caf-smart-auth-react-native
```

### Removing the Example Project

After the module is created, you can remove the automatically generated example files. To do this, execute the following commands from the project root:

```bash
cd modules/caf-smart-auth-react-native
rm ios/CafSmartAuthBridgeModuleView.swift
rm android/src/main/java/your/package/name/CafSmartAuthBridgeModuleView.kt
rm src/CafSmartAuthBridgeModuleView.tsx
rm src/CafSmartAuthBridgeModuleView.web.tsx
rm src/CafSmartAuthBridgeModule.web.ts
```

Now your module is ready for customization and integration into the project.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.caf.io/caf-sdk/react-native/standalone-modules/cafsmartauth/expo-modules/create-local-module.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
