Overview of this book

React Native has completely revolutionized mobile development by empowering JavaScript developers to build world-class mobile apps that run natively on mobile platforms. This book will show you how to apply JavaScript and other front-end skills to build cross-platform React Native applications for iOS and Android using a single codebase. This book will provide you with all the React Native building blocks necessary to become an expert. We’ll give you a brief explanation of the numerous native components and APIs that come bundled with React Native including Images, Views, ListViews, WebViews, and much more. You will learn to utilize form inputs in React Native. You’ll get an overview of Facebook’s Flux data architecture and then apply Redux to manage data with a remote API. You will also learn to animate different parts of your application, as well as routing using React Native’s navigation APIs. By the end of the book, you will be able to build cutting-edge applications using the React Native framework.

React, at it its core, is a user interface library. For an application of any sophistication, the user interface, or the view-layer, only constitutes about half of our concerns. What remains is what is often referred to as the data layer. This part of our application is responsible for fetching, persisting, and mutating data, and communicating mutations to the view layer for their display.

React itself, and, by proxy, React Native, has no opinions or prescriptions for handling data within an application. In theory, React could be used with any number of libraries or frameworks that provide a solution for data handling. In fact, when the library first came out, this was common. There were integrations with basically all of the major frameworks at the time (Backbone, Angular, Ember, and so on.) that used React in place of the framework's traditional view-layer.

As React became more popular, developers began looking for a data handling solution created...
