A Detailed Look at React Native

A Webinar by Varun Vachhar, Senior Developer at Rangle.io

React Native introduces a new way to write native mobile apps. You can take everything that you know and love about React and apply it to native! Unlike hybrid apps, it gives you access to both native APIs and UI components. The application logic uses JavaScript, whereas the UI is fully native. It also brings the best of the web to native, things like – Flexbox layout model, XMLHttpRequest, requestAnimationFrame, and more.

Topics Covered:

  • What is React Native
  • How it is an extension of hybrid
  • How to use polyfills to leverage the best of the web while getting native performance
  • How to debug React Native apps
  • How to use Flexbox and CSS for styling a React Native app
