What is react-native?

React Native is an open-source mobile application framework created by Facebook. It is used to develop applications for Android, iOS, Web, and UWP by enabling developers to use React along with native platform capabilities. It allows for the development of mobile apps using JavaScript and React, offering a rich mobile UI library and tools to deliver a native app experience.

What are react-native's main functionalities?

UI Components

React Native provides a set of built-in core components like View, Text, and Image that you can use to build your app's UI. These components are pre-styled and ready to use, making it easy to develop complex UIs.

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

function HelloWorldApp() {
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>
      <Text>Hello, world!</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

Native Modules

Native Modules allow you to write modules in native code that can be called from JavaScript. This is useful for accessing platform-specific functionality that is not covered by the built-in React Native components.

import { NativeModules } from 'react-native';
const { CalendarModule } = NativeModules;

CalendarModule.createCalendarEvent('testName', 'testLocation');

Navigation

Navigation is essential for mobile apps. React Native can integrate with libraries like React Navigation to provide a way to navigate between screens.

import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';

const Stack = createStackNavigator();

function App() {
  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Stack.Navigator initialRouteName='Home'>
        <Stack.Screen name='Home' component={HomeScreen} />
        <Stack.Screen name='Profile' component={ProfileScreen} />
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}
