React Fundamentals in React Native
Components
Building blocks of React Native apps. They encapsulate UI and logic, creating
reusable elements.
JSX
JavaScript XML, a syntax extension for writing UI elements in JavaScript, making
code more readable.
Props
Data passed from parent components to child components, enabling
communication and customization.
State
Internal data of a component that can change over time, allowing for dynamic UI
updates and user interactions.
Handling Input in React
Native
Input Components
Components like TextInput and TextArea allow users to
input text, numbers, or other data.
State Management
Use state to store and update the value of input fields
as the user types.
Validation
Check the input data for correctness and provide
feedback to the user.
Working with ScrollView & List
Views
1 ScrollView
Allows scrolling through content that exceeds the screen's height,
providing a smooth and efficient user experience.
2 FlatList
Optimized for displaying large lists of data, improving performance and
user responsiveness.
3 SectionList
Similar to FlatList, but lets you group data into sections with headers,
offering better organization and navigation.
4 Virtualized Lists
Enhance performance by rendering only the visible items in the list,
reducing memory usage and improving scrolling smoothness.
Platform Specific Code in React Native
iOS Android Platform Specific
Components
Use Platform.OS === 'ios' to Use Platform.OS === 'android'
check for iOS and apply specific to check for Android and apply React Native provides platform-
styles, components, or logic. specific styles, components, or specific components like
logic. AlertIOS and AlertAndroid,
enabling you to utilize native
platform features.
Navigation in React Native
1 Stack Navigator
Navigates between screens in a stack, using push and pop
operations to move forward and backward.
2 Tab Navigator
Allows switching between multiple screens using tabs at the
bottom of the screen.
3 Drawer Navigator
Provides a side menu that slides out, offering access to different
sections of the app.
4 Navigation Props
Use navigation props to access navigation methods and pass data
between screens.
Styling in React Native
StyleSheet
Organize and apply styles using StyleSheet.create, making it easier to manage and reuse styles across your app.
Flexbox
Use flexbox properties to control the layout and positioning of elements, creating responsive designs.
Text Styles
Control the appearance of text using the Text component's style prop, including font size, color, and weight.
Image Styles
Use Image component's style prop to control the size, position, and aspect ratio of images.
Testing in React Native
Unit Testing Test individual components in isolation to ensure they function
correctly.
Integration Testing Test how different components interact and work together as a
system.
End-to-End Testing Test the entire app flow from start to finish, simulating real user
interactions.
