Key benefits

  • Work on native APIs and UI Elements using React Native
  • Get the best of both worlds: the power of native approach and the fluidity of JavaScript
  • Create increasingly complex real-world applications and dive deeper into React Native

Description

React Native's ability to build performant mobile applications with JavaScript has resulted in its popularity amongst developers. Developers now have the luxury to create incredible mobile experiences that look and feel native to their platforms with the comfort of a well-known language and the popular React.js library. This book will show you how to build your own native mobile applications for the iOS and Android platforms while leveraging the finesse and simplicity of JavaScript and React. Throughout the book you will build three projects, each of increasing complexity. You will also link up with the third-party Facebook SDK, convert an app to support the Redux architecture, and learn the process involved in making your apps available for sale on the iOS App Store and Google Play. At the end of this book, you will have learned and implemented a wide breadth of core APIs and components found in the React Native framework that are necessary in creating great mobile experiences.

Who is this book for?

If you are keen on learning to use the revolutionary mobile development tool React Native to build native mobile applications, then this book is for you. Prior experience with JavaScript would be useful.

What you will learn

  • How to create mobile-performant iOS and Android apps using JavaScript and React
  • The potential of each API and component, putting them into practice throughout the course of three projects
  • The process of integrating the Facebook SDK to build an app that connects to third-party data
  • Every step taken to implement Redux, a popular state management library, in your mobile apps
  • The requirements for building and deploying your apps to market, with detailed instructions on how to release and beta test apps on both the Apple App Store and Google Play

This book helped me understand React Native, and now I can use the technology to build my own apps. I definitely recommend checking it out!

Compared to similar programming books I have read, this book has been the most frustrating because it is unclear and contains too many inconsistencies and errors. The book alternates for no reason between "let's implement a feature, here's the code you need" and "let's implement a feature, write the code yourself, but here's some of the code I used." For example, in the TextInput section, the author writes "Take some time to try and add this first feature into our app! In the next section, I will share some screenshots of my results and break down the code I wrote for it." and "Let's look at the code to see how I tackled it--yours may be different!"Well, his code doesn't even work. His "Tasks/app/components/TasksList/styles.js" code only contains a style for "container", but his "Tasks/app/components/TasksList/index.js" code references "styles.textInput". Without that style, the TextInput was in the wrong place. I actually had to look for the code in the accompanying GitHub repository to find the correct code.Even so, my app didn't work right. I copied everything from the book, but after inputting a task, the ListView would not get updated. Then I went to GitHub again. I copied the entire contents of index.ios.js, TasksList/index.js, and TasksList/styles.js. I still had the same problem. I am new to React Native, but given that I copy-pasted only the author's code and none of my own code, I have to conclude that it's a problem with the book and accompanying code.Maybe the problem is that I am using the wrong React Native version (I am using 0.45). If that's the case, that's still the book's problem. Nowhere in the book does it tell you what version to use. If I'm reading a book on native iOS development, it will say "this book uses Swift 3 with Xcode 8 and iOS 10. If you're using different versions, you may have problems." This book doesn't do that.Maybe the problem is that I'm not seeing something obvious to others. That's possible. But if that's the case, there is no online community around this book, like there is with Big Nerd Ranch books, so I don't have anywhere I can easily ask questions. The book also does not suggest I can contact the author. The only thing it says is: "To send us general feedback, simply e-mail feedback@packtpub.com, and mention the book's title in the subject of your message." That won't help me.If anyone can show that I'm wrong about this, I'd be happy to take this review down.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
