React and React Native

Use React and React Native to build applications for desktop browsers, mobile browsers, and even as native mobile apps Key Features:Build React and React Native applications using familiar component conceptsDive deep into each platform, from routing in React to creating native mobile applications that can run offlineUse Facebook’s Relay, React and GraphQL technologies, to create a unified architecture that powers both web and native applicationsBook Description:React and React Native allow you to build cross-platform desktop and mobile applications using Facebook’s innovative UI libraries. Combined with the Flux data architecture and Relay, you can now create powerful and feature-complete applications from just one code base!This book is split into three parts. The first part shows you how to start crafting composable UIs using React, from rendering with JSX and creating reusable components through to routing and creating isomorphic applications that run on Node.We then move on to showing you how to take the concepts of React and apply them to building Native UIs using React Native. You’ll find out how to build responsive and streamlined UIs that can properly handle user interactions in a mobile environment. You’ll also learn how to access device-specific APIs such as the geolocation API, and how to handle offline development with React Native.Finally, we’ll tie all of these skills together and shows you how you can create React applications that run on every major platform. As well as understanding application state in depth, you’ll learn how to leverage Relay to make feature-complete, data-driven web and native mobile applications.What You Will Learn:Craft reusable React componentsControl navigation using the React Router to help keep your UI in sync with URLsBuild isomorphic web applications using Node.jsUse the Flexbox layout model to create responsive mobile designsLeverage the native APIs of Android and iOS to build engaging applications with React NativeRespond to gestures in a way that’s intuitive for the userUse Relay to build a unified data architecture for your React UIsWho this book is for:Perfect for anyone who wants to create mobile and desktop applications (including native mobile apps), React and React Native features step-by-step instructions and examples designed for all levels of React and React Native developers and students.
