Description

Improve your React Native mobile development skills or transition from web development to mobile development with this practical solution-packed guide

Key Features

  • Learn strategies and techniques to face challenges in React Native mobile development head-on
  • Leverage the best ways to use iOS and Android for React Native development while maximizing code reuse and cohesion
  • Build engaging, performant user experiences with React Native

Book Description

If you are a developer looking to create mobile applications with maximized code reusability and minimized cost, then React Native is here to help. With this practical guide, you will be able to build attractive UIs, tackle common mobile development-related issues, and achieve improved performance in mobile environments.

This book starts with common techniques for React Native customization and helps you set up your development platforms. Over the course of the book, a wide variety of step-by-step recipes are designed with both built-in React Native and custom third-party components that you will create, style, and animate. You will create real-world browser-based authentication, build a fully functional audio player, and integrate with Google maps. You will also explore different strategies for working with data, including leveraging the popular Redux library and optimizing your app’s dataflow. You will then get an introduction to writing native device functionality for new and already existing native projects.

Finally, you will learn how app deployment works, and tips and tricks for writing performant code. By the end of the book, you’ll have gained enough knowledge to build full iOS and Android applications using React Native.

What you will learn

  • Build UI features and components using React Native
  • Create advanced animations for UI components
  • Develop universal apps that run on phones and tablets
  • Leverage Redux to manage application flow and data
  • Expose both custom native UI components and application logic to React Native
  • Employ open-source third-party plugins to create React Native apps more efficiently

Who this book is for

If you’re a JavaScript developer looking for a practical guide with step-by-step tutorials for developing feature rich mobile apps using React Native, then this book is for you. Though not required, some experience working with React will help you more easily understand the React Native concepts covered in this book.

While React Native development can be done on a Windows machine, certain aspects, such as running your apps on iOS devices and in the iOS simulator, or editing native code with Xcode, can only be done with a Mac.
