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 Hooks in React Native, and we learned about Hooks and why we use them. We also learned about rules and types of Hooks.

We then moved on to discuss each type of Hook and its functionality in detail. We briefly discussed the following Hooks:

- `useState`

- `useEffect`

- `useContext`

- `useReducer`

- `useCallback`

- `useMemo`

- `useRef`

We also learned:

- How to implement and track stateful logic inside functional components.

- How to perform side effects inside functional components.

- How to manage states globally by avoiding prop drilling.

- How to manage states globally by separating the state management logic from the rendering logic.

- How to optimize the performance of the application by caching functions and their return values.

- How to persist values between renders of a component.

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