Get a practical introduction to React Native, the JavaScript framework for writing and deploying fully featured mobile apps that render natively. The second edition of this hands-on guide shows you how to build applications that target iOS, Android, and other mobile platforms instead of browsers—apps that can access platform features such as the camera, user location, and local storage.

Through code examples and step-by-step instructions, web developers and frontend engineers familiar with React will learn how to build and style interfaces, use mobile components, and debug and deploy apps. You’ll learn how to extend React Native using third-party libraries or your own Java and Objective-C libraries.

Understand how React Native works under the hood with native UI components
Examine how React Native’s mobile-based components compare to basic HTML elements
Create and style your own React Native components and applications
Take advantage of platform-specific APIs, as well as modules from the framework’s community
Incorporate platform-specific components into cross-platform apps
Learn common pitfalls of React Native development, and tools for dealing with them
Combine a large application’s many screens into a cohesive UX
Handle state management in a large app with the Redux library

From the Publisher

From the Preface

This book is an introduction to React Native, Facebook’s JavaScript framework for building mobile applications. Using your existing knowledge of JavaScript and React, you’ll be able to build and deploy fully featured mobile applications for both iOS and Android that truly render natively. There are plenty of advantages to working with React Native over traditional means of mobile development without needing to sacrifice the native look and feel.

We’ll start with the basics and work our way up to creating a full-fledged application with 100% code reuse between iOS and Android. In addition to the essentials of the framework, we’ll discuss how to work beyond it, including how to make use of third-party libraries and even how to write your own Java or Objective-C libraries to extend React Native.

If you’re coming to mobile development from the perspective of a frontend software engineer or web developer, this is the book for you. React Native is a pretty amazing thing, and I hope you’re as excited to explore it as I am!

Prerequisites

This book is not an introduction to React, in general. We’ll assume that you have some working knowledge of React. If you’re brand new to React, I suggest reading through a tutorial or two before coming back to take the plunge into mobile development. Specifically, you should be familiar with the role of props and state, the component lifecycle, and how to create React components.

We’ll also be using some modern JavaScript syntax, as well as JSX. If you aren’t familiar with these, don’t worry; we’ll cover JSX in Chapter 2, and modern JavaScript syntax in Appendix A. These features are essentially 1:1 translations of the JavaScript code you’re already accustomed to writing.

This book focuses on using React Native to write iOS and Android applications, though React Native can also be used to write applications targeting Ubuntu, Windows, and macOS. Linux and Windows users can use React Native to develop Android applications, but in order to write iOS applications, you will need to develop on macOS.

Nice introduction to React Native

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a lean and mean introduction to getting started with React Native, with everything you need to know and nothing that you don't. It's assumed you already have some familiarity with React itself, and I think you'll be better off if you've done at least a little bit of native development on your platform of choice. Good intermediate-level books like this are hard to come by, so its worth taking a moment to appreciate them when you find them. Nice work!

Very informative and has alot of examples and online references where you can start making projects after the 3rd chapter.

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2018

I liked it quite a bit, but felt the chapter on Redux bogged down quite a bit. I also feel it could have benefited from either a section on file storage or database access.

Good book but example code has some issues

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

Overall this was a decent book, but I struggled to code along with it the way she has the examples set up. A book should tell you how to structure your files and set up your code before you start, not at the end. Additionally, many of the examples needed to be updated to work with the current version of React Native, the current NYT API, etc. It wasn't extraordinarily hard to update them, but it took the valuable time I had set aside for learning and had me spend it debugging example code.

Accessible and user-friendly!

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2019

Web developers have access to countless tutorials and code snippets online, mostly free. This book is a great example of a rare resource that is worth buying, and in my case, reading in hard copy.

The book strikes a careful balance between exposition and code examples. For someone like me, previously only familiar with applications that run in the browser, it was helpful to read some conceptual background about how React Native works, and why, before diving into code. Importantly, the book covers multiple example applications, rather than a single cumulative example, which I appreciated because it helped expose different use cases.

Having experience with React is certainly helpful, but not strictly necessary, to understand get a lot out of this book. For developing my first React Native app, I really appreciated having the soup-to-nuts guide afforded by a full book (as opposed to a short tutorial), and being able to keep the paper book propped open on my desk next to my computer and phone (not taking up any screen space).

Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book from the author.

Not enough content for the $$

Reviewed in Canada on April 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was looking forward to receiving this book but I was severly disappointed upon opening the box.

My disappointment is derived from considering the price I paid for the book ($65 including tax) and the amount of information and knowledge provided in the book that is readily available on the internet for free. Although it looks like a great book that runs through developing with React Native at a high level, it is only 219 pages of content, a very thin book as far as coding books go.

In short, I was expecting more content for my money.

I just checked,
Chapter 1 is 4 pages
Chapter 2 is 7 pages :-(

Not cool. I am returning the book.

Hopelessly out of date

Reviewed in Canada on July 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

The boiler plate code generated by the first app that is supposed to be the reader's entry point with this book looks absolutely nothing like what is written in the book. Apparently since the book came out, alot of things had changed with React Native, making the book hopelessly obsolete. A complete waste of money, and of no practical use for a beginner to React Native.

Amazon Customer

Look elsewhere for an introduction to React Native - this is now old and broken.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

React Native is a fast moving platform and even the second edition of this book can't keep up.
The author is not updating the git repo even for major breaking changes (Image does not allow wrapping other objects).

The basic examples are now broken.
The weather app sample includes an api key that should not really be shared.
The code snippets don't work without entering details that are supplied later.

I would have got a refund if amazon had correctly taken payment.

outdated and incomplete

I would not recommend that you buy this book. The code does not work, is outdated and the code repository is incomplete. This book has caused many hours of frustration. Do not waste your money.
