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

# What have we learned?

This chapter started with a brief introduction to database management. We briefly covered database management in React Native and which factors should be considered while selecting a DBMS.

We then moved on to learn about Firebase and its features. We discussed some of the most useful features of Firebase, such as authentication, analytics, hosting, etc. We then discussed the types of databases offered by Firebase, i.e., Realtime database and Cloud Firestore. We briefly learned about the Cloud Firestore database, how it works, and its most important features.

Lastly, we learned how to set up the Cloud Firestore database and execute CRUD operations using Cloud Firestore and React Native. We briefly covered:

- How to create data inside the Cloud Firestore database.

- How to read data from the Cloud Firestore database.

- How to update data inside the Cloud Firestore database.

- How to delete data from the Cloud Firestore database.

Finally, we tested our concepts by practically applying them inside coding playgrounds.

Here's a quick summary of what we learned in this chapter.
