reactNative

React Native is a well-known mobile application development framework that allows developers to create rich, cross-platform mobile application UI using reusable components. It's ideal for building mobile applications and supports multi-platform reusable code, pre-built components, and a rich UI. Most well-known social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, have been built using React Native. 

In this course, you’ll start with a brief introduction to React Native and then cover various built-in components of React Native categorized into different categories such as basic, user interface, user interaction, and list view components. Next, you’ll learn about concepts such as application styling, navigation, Hooks, state management, and database management. You’ll find interactive quizzes and challenges throughout the course to test your understanding.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to develop mobile applications and kickstart your journey as a React Native developer.

Getting Started with Mobile App Development with React Native

**Basic components** are the ones that the majority of applications employ as their most prevalent elements. These components are required for application development independent of the type and nature of the application. Let's briefly summarize each of the basic components provided by React Native before we move on. We'll learn about each one later in detail.

# `View`

React Native does not use HTML elements like `<span>`, `<div>`, `<p>`, and so on. It uses components to build the UI, and `View` is the most basic component for UI designing. It is like a `<div>` and acts like a container component that can group the children components.

# `Text`

The `Text` component is another fundamental component of React Native. It can be used anywhere inside the application to display textual data.

# `Image`

The `Image` component renders and displays images. It can be used to display both static and nonstatic images. Furthermore, it can also be used to display nonimage resources, such as `.mp3`, `.wav`, `.mp4`, and `.pdf` files.

# `TextInput`

Next up is the `TextInput` component. It handles user input, a crucial part of building an interactive application. It is one of the ways through which the user can interact with an application.

# `ScrollView`

Most applications have abundant content, such as textual data, images, and videos. For example, Twitter has a never-ending list of tweets, and Facebook has a never-ending list of posts, images, and videos. Displaying all of the content on a single screen can be challenging. This is where the `ScrollView` component comes in. It helps us to scroll horizontally and vertically to see all of the data rendered by the application.

# `StyleSheet`

Last, but not least, is the `StyleSheet` component. As the name suggests, this component is used to style applications in React Native. It can be used to improve the aesthetics and look of the application by using various style formats such as `fontSize`, `color`, `flex`, and `backgroundColor`.
