React Native is Facebook's popular framework for creating native mobile apps using JavaScript and React. React Native allows you to create mobile apps using only JavaScript. It uses the same design as React, which allows you to compose a rich mobile user interface from declarative components.
React Native makes development work easier and allows developers to focus on the core app features in every new release. It is the fastest-developing mobile app development that essentially permits you to create an isolated product with often outcomes.
NativeBase is a free and open source framework that allows developers to create high quality mobile apps using React Native iOS and Android applications with a fusion of ES6. NativeBase builds a layer above React Native that provides you with a set of basic building blocks for mobile application development. Learn more →
Redux is a popular predictable state container for JavaScript, implementing the Flux Architecture, Redux attempts to make state mutations predictable by imposing some restrictions on how and when updates can occur. Redux can be described in three fundamental principles:
Single source of truth: The state of your whole application is stored in an object tree within a single store.
State is read-only: The only way to change the state is to emit an action, an object describing what happened.
Changes are made with pure functions: To specify how the state tree is transformed by actions, you write pure reducers.
React Navigation is an extensible and easy-to-use routing and navigation library for React Native applications thats lets you define your application's navigation structure. The library Navigators also render common elements such as headers and tab bars which you can configure quickly. React Navigation is becoming the de-facto standard for implementing navigation in React Native as it is well-designed, and performant.
Expo is a free and open source toolchain built around React Native to help you build native iOS and Android projects using JavaScript and React. Expo has client apps that run on both iOS and Android. With Expo, you don’t need to install XCode or Android Studio while building your app. You can even test your app on an iOS device or simulator without a paid Apple Developer account. Check the Expo Docs for more details.
