React Projects - Second Edition

By: Roy Derks

Overview of this book

Developed by Facebook, React is a popular library for building impressive user interfaces. React extends its capabilities to mobile platforms using the React Native framework and integrates with popular web and mobile tools to build scalable applications. React Projects is your guide to learning React development by using modern development patterns and integrating React with powerful web tools, such as GraphQL, Expo, and React 360. You'll start building a real-world project right from the first chapter and get hands-on with developing scalable applications as you advance to building more complex projects. Throughout the book, you'll use the latest versions of React and React Native to explore features such as routing, Context, and Hooks on multiple platforms, which will help you build full-stack web and mobile applications efficiently. Finally, you'll get to grips with unit testing with Jest and end-to-end testing with Cypress to build test-driven apps. By the end of this React book, you'll have developed the skills necessary to start building scalable React apps across web and mobile platforms.

Summary

In this chapter, you've created a mobile social media application with React Native and Expo that uses a local API to send and receive data as well for authentication. To handle authentication, multiple types of navigators are combined. We've learned how to use the camera and the camera roll of a mobile device, after getting the permissions to use them. Also, the differences in styling between iOS and Android were explained.

In completing this social media application, you've completed the final React Native chapter of this book and are now ready to start the very last chapter. In the last chapter, you'll be exploring another use case of React, which is VR. By combining React with Three.js, you can create 360-degree 2D and 3D experiences by writing React components.
