Summary

To end this chapter, let’s have a short summary of what this chapter was about. You learned about what the project structure of a simple React Native app looks like and what the different files are for. You also know about class components and function components, and you understand the most important lifecycle methods and Hooks. Based on this, you can use component states and trigger code execution in both class components and function components.

You also learned how JavaScript and Native are connected in React Native apps, what the problems are with the current (old) React Native Architecture, and what the new architecture is.

Now that you have a good overview of how React Native works in general, let’s dive deeper into components, styling, storage, and navigation in the next chapter.
