Creating a Simple React Native App

In this chapter, we'll cover the following recipes:

  • Adding styles to elements
  • Using images to mimic a video player
  • Creating a toggle button
  • Displaying a list of items
  • Using flexbox to create a layout
  • Setting up and using navigation

React Native is a fast-growing library. Over the last few years it has become very popular among the open source community. There's often a new release every other week that improves performance, adds new components, or provides access to new APIs on the device.

In this chapter, we'll learn about the most common components in the library. To step through all of the recipes in this chapter, we'll have to create a new application, so make sure you have your environment up and running.
