Evaluating React Native Editors, Plugins, and IDEs
I'm hard pressed to think of another topic that developers are more passionate about than their preferred code editor. Of the many options, two popular editors today are GitHub's Atom and Microsoft's Visual Studio Code (not be confused with the Visual Studio 2015). Both are cross-platform editors for Windows, macOS, and Linux and are easily extended with additional features. In this section, I'll detail my personal experience with these tools and where I have found they complement the React Native development experience.
Atom and Nuclide
Facebook has created a package for Atom known as Nuclide that provides a first-class development environment for React Native It features a built-in debugger similar to Chrome's DevTools, a React Native Inspector (think the Elements tab in Chrome DevTools), and support for the static type checker Flow.
