Overview of this book

Developed by Facebook, React is a popular library for building impressive user interfaces. React extends its capabilities to the mobile platform 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 Higher Order Components (HOC), Context, and Hooks on multiple platforms, which will help you build full stack web and mobile applications efficiently. Finally, you'll delve into unit testing with Jest 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.

Project overview

In this chapter, we will be creating an animated Tic-Tac-Toe game build with React Native and Expo, which uses the Animated API to add basic animations, Lottie for advanced animations, and Gesture Handler from Expo to handle native gestures. The starting point will be creating an application with the Expo CLI that has basic routing implemented in it, so that our users can switch between the game interface and an overview of the high scores for this game.

The build time is 1.5 hours.
