Summary

In this chapter, you learned about the general architectural challenge when it comes to animations in React Native. You understood that there are different solutions to overcome this challenge and create high-quality and performant animations. With Animated, react-native-animatable, Reanimated, and Lottie, we looked at the best and the most widely used animation solutions for React Native’s on-screen animations.

This is important because you will have to use animations in your app to create a high-quality product, and such animation libraries are the only way to create high-quality and performant animations in React Native.

In the next chapter, you will learn how to handle user gestures and also work with more complex user gestures to do different things – for example, to drive animations.
