Technical requirements
In order to follow along with this chapter, you will need some knowledge of JavaScript and ReactJS. If you have followed the first two chapters 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 VSCode, Atom, Sublime Text, and WebStorm.
You may have followed the setup guide from the previous chapter. In case you didn’t set up your own app, you can clone the repo dedicated to this book:
https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Simplifying-State-Management-in-React-Native.
In this repository, you will find a very basic app, as it was set up in the previous chapter. You will also find folders with chapter names. Not surprisingly, each folder holds a version of the Funbook app as described in a given chapter.
