Hands-On Design Patterns with React Native

By: Mateusz Grzesiukiewicz

Overview of this book

React Native helps developers reuse code across different mobile platforms like iOS and Android. This book will show you effective design patterns in the React Native world and will make you ready for professional development in big teams. The book will focus only on the patterns that are relevant to JavaScript, ECMAScript, React and React Native. However, you can successfully transfer a lot of the skills and techniques to other languages. I call them “Idea patterns”. This book will start with the most standard development patterns in React like component building patterns, styling patterns in React Native and then extend these patterns to your mobile application using real world practical examples. Each chapter comes with full, separate source code of applications that you can build and run on your phone. The book is also diving into architectural patterns. Especially how to adapt MVC to React environment. You will learn Flux architecture and how Redux is implementing it. Each approach will be presented with its pros and cons. You will learn how to work with external data sources using libraries like Redux thunk and Redux Saga. The end goal is the ability to recognize the best solution for a given problem for your next mobile application.

Summary

In this chapter, you have learned about a very powerful tool: typed language built on top of JavaScript. Type checking has countless advantages for any code base. It prevents you from deploying a breaking change that definitely does not comply with what is expected. You have learned how to tell TypeScript what is allowed. You know what generic types are, and how to use them to reduce code repetition in typed files.

New tools come with new knowledge, so you have also learned the basics of type inference and structural typing. This part of TypeScript definitely requires trial and error. Practice it to understand it better.

This is the last chapter of this book. I hope you have learned many interesting concepts and patterns. I have challenged you throughout this book; now it is time that you challenged your code base. See what fits your application and maybe rethink the choices...
