Technical requirements
In order to follow along with this chapter, you will need some knowledge of JavaScript and ReactJS. If you have followed at least Chapters 1 through 4 of this book, you should be able to go forward without any issues.
Feel free to use an IDE of your choice, as React Native does not need any specific functionality. Currently, the most popular IDEs for frontend developers are Microsoft’s VS Code, Atom, Sublime Text, and WebStorm.
The code snippets provided in this chapter are here to illustrate what we should be doing with the code—they do not provide the whole picture. For a better experience of coding along, please open the GitHub repo in your IDE and look at the files in there. You can start with the files in either the folder named example-app-full
or chapter-7
. If you start with example-app-full
, you will be responsible for implementing the solutions described in this chapter. If you choose to look at chapter-7
you will see the entire solution...
