React and React Native

Why React?

If you're reading this book, you probably know what React is. If not, don't worry. I'll do my best to keep philosophical definitions to a minimum. However, this is a long book with a lot of content, so I feel that setting the tone is an appropriate first step. Yes, the goal is to learn React and React Native. But it's also to put together a lasting architecture that can handle everything we want to build with React today and in the future.

This chapter starts with a brief explanation of why React exists. Then, we'll think about the simplicity of React and how React is able to handle many of the typical performance issues faced by web developers. Next, we'll go over the declarative philosophy of React and the level of abstraction that React programmers can expect to work with. Finally, we'll touch on some of the major features of React.

Once you have a conceptual understanding of React and how it solves problems with UI development, you'll be better equipped to tackle the remainder of the book.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • What is React?
  • React Features
  • What's new in React?

Key benefits

  • Covers the latest features of React such as Hooks, Suspense, NativeBase, and Apollo in this updated third edition
  • Get to grips with the React architecture for writing easy-to-manage web and mobile applications
  • Understand GraphQL and Apollo for building a scalable backend for your cross-platform apps

Description

React and React Native, Facebook’s innovative User Interface (UI) libraries, are designed to help you build robust cross-platform web and mobile applications. This updated third edition is improved and updated to cover the latest version of React. The book particularly focuses on the latest developments in the React ecosystem, such as modern Hook implementations, code splitting using lazy components and Suspense, user interface framework components using Material-UI, and Apollo. In terms of React Native, the book has been updated to version 0.62 and demonstrates how to apply native UI components for your existing mobile apps using NativeBase. You will begin by learning about the essential building blocks of React components. Next, you’ll progress to working with higher-level functionalities in application development, before putting this knowledge to use by developing user interface components for the web and for native platforms. In the concluding chapters, you’ll learn how to bring your application together with a robust data architecture. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build React applications for the web and React Native applications for multiple mobile platforms.

Who is this book for?

This book is for any JavaScript developer who wants to start learning how to use Facebook’s UI libraries, React and React Native, for mobile and web application development. Although no prior knowledge of React is needed, working knowledge of JavaScript programming will help you understand the concepts covered in the book more effectively.

  • Delve into the React architecture, component properties, state, and context
  • Get to grips with React Hooks for handling functions and components
  • Implement code splitting in React using lazy components and Suspense

I have books in my library older than most of the people I work with, maybe 200+ at this point and I would put this among the top 10 for content. Great book if you're looking to get into React and/or React Native and the follow-along code samples actually work - big kudos!

When I started programming with React, I just jumped right in. And then I had to backtrack to figure out where I went wrong. It seems simple, but it is not really that easy. This book starts slowly and introduces a reader to how React works including how to use React hooks and how to create reusable components.Almost half the book is devoted to React Native, and shows how to build a cross-platform app using Expo. This is useful to me right now, because I thought React Native would be the same as using React and it is not. So this section points out the differences, so you are ready for that.The final part of the book covers React architecture. It shows you how to build your own React Native Components using NativeBase, how to use Redux for more robust state control, and how to use Apollo to retrieve data in GraphQL format.

If your goal is to learn React and React native, look nowhere else, this is it. I've read every book I can find on React and this is by far the best one you''ll find.

Just what I was looking for. Though React may look simple it has a lot of moving parts. The authors have done a great job of maintaining a fine balance between theoretical and practical content. The only book I could find that teaches in detail both web and mobile development with React.
