Summary
In this chapter, we learned about handling images in our React Native applications. Images in a native application are just as important in a native mobile context as they are in a web context – they improve the user experience.
We learned about the different approaches to loading images, as well as how to resize them. We also learned how to implement a lazy image, which displays a placeholder image while the actual image is being loading in. Finally, we learned how to use icons in a React Native app. These skills will help you manage images and make your app more informative.
In the next chapter, we'll learn about local storage in React Native, which is handy when our app goes offline.
