Mastering React Native
Key FeaturesApply flexbox to get layout and build rich animations that bring your React Native application to lifeIntegrate third-party libraries and develop customized components that run natively on iOS and Android platformsCombine React Native with Redux, Redux middleware, and a remote API to build scalable data-driven applicationsBook DescriptionReact Native has completely revolutionized mobile development by empowering JavaScript developers to build world-class mobile apps that run natively on mobile platforms. This book will show you how to apply JavaScript and other front-end skills to build cross-platform React Native applications for iOS and Android using a single codebase.
This book will provide you with all the React Native building blocks necessary to become an expert. We'll give you a brief explanation of the numerous native components and APIs that come bundled with React Native including Images, Views, ListViews, WebViews, and much more. You will learn to utilize form inputs in React Native. You'll get an overview of Facebook's Flux data architecture and then apply Redux to manage data with a remote API. You will also learn to animate different parts of your application, as well as routing using React Native's navigation APIs.
By the end of the book, you will be able to build cutting-edge applications using the React Native framework.
What you will learnImplement native React Native components and APIsExplore React's JSX syntaxManage data using Redux and Redux middlewareBuild applications with React Native on both iOS and Android platformsPerform animations in your applications using the animation APIsUnderstand routing and Navigator comparisonCreate your own Native moduleAbout the AuthorEric Masiello is a lead software engineer for Vistaprint Digital.

It's hard to write an up-to-date software guide that isn't weighed down by verbose history lessons and abbreviated jargon but Masiello and Friedman have done so. Packt Publishing tends to be on the recently-wrapped-wound side of the bleeding edge so it's no surprise that many of React Native methods and APIs are outdated, that however doesn't diminish this book's value as an in-depth exploration into the ever changing landscape of React Native development.
Code snippets are explained line-by-line instead of paged together and summarized. There are often multiple ways of developing features presented rather than just a single my-way-or-the-highway example. Good stuff for React developers getting started in native or web devs seeking help or a refresher.

Gives you great overall insight into RN ecosystem (architecture, tools, techniques), hints, and introduce even state-management libraries.
