What is React Native?

React Native combines the strengths of native app development with the powerful features of React, a highly regarded JavaScript library for user interface design. It offers the choice to seamlessly integrate with existing Android and iOS projects or to develop a completely new application from scratch. The essential components of React are transformed into native UI elements, allowing your application to utilize the same native APIs found in other applications on the platform. With the capability to create platform-specific component variations, a single codebase can effectively serve multiple platforms. This functionality allows one development team to oversee applications on both platforms while utilizing the cohesive technology that React provides. React Native not only enables the creation of fully native applications but also guarantees a superior experience for users. By providing a fundamental suite of platform-independent native components like View, Text, and Image, it aligns closely with the native UI components of the platform, streamlining the development workflow. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also encourages creative solutions, ultimately allowing developers to deliver high-quality applications that feel perfectly integrated on any platform. As a result, React Native stands out as a robust framework that meets the needs of modern application development.

    Makes smooth user interfaces.

    Date: Aug 29 2023
    Summary

    Overall, React Native is one of the best frameworks to work with, the community is quite supportive and responsive. My experience has been quite good with it over the years.

    Positive

    - React Native is one of the best and leading frameworks to create cross-platform applications with a single codebase.
    - If you are familiar with ReactJS it becomes easy to work on this framework as the core concepts aside from component names stay the same.
    - The building time is one of the lowest.
    - Hot refresh works like a charm.

    Negative

    - There are little to no premade components, everything is bare bones so the user has to build upon it to achieve any user interface, it would have been great if the framework provided some premade components and allowed customization on top of it.

    Easiest framework to develop cross-platform mobile application.

    Date: Feb 06 2022
    Summary

    Overall, React Native is a great framework to develop stable cross-platform application with single code base. There aren't many prerequisites to get started, and there is also a great community support behind it.

    Positive

    1. React Native helps in developing cross-platform stable applications for both Android and iOS with single code base.
    2. It supports hot reload and hot restart, so the developer can see the changes in the application in real time.
    3. The community is overwhelmingly fast, so any developer can start learning the framework with ease.
    4. The application made on React Native gives performance close to native application made on Kotlin and Swift because of the native library used.

    Negative

    1. The debugging can be a problem initially, as the debugging is not as intuitive as other frameworks.

    Native app performance with a web framework

    Date: Jul 24 2022
    Summary

    Overall, React Native is an exciting tool that provides close to native performance from web application code. However, many advanced features and integrations with popular react libraries are poorly supported. React Native, while a good tool, seems to receive second tier support from Meta.

    Positive

    - provides close to native performance on mobile devices, but using JavaScript
    - build cross-platform apps from one codebase (iOS and Android)
    - hot reload and mobile emulation support
    - can be used with many tools from the React ecosystem
    - can build for web from the same codebase as mobile apps
    - free

    Negative

    - poor documentation on advanced features
    - build pipeline configuration gets very complicated if you try to customize elements
    - difficult first time setup on larger apps
    - poorly supported despite Meta backing
