Mobile app development with React Native, what to know
What is the React Native framework and what benefits does it bring to developers and end users? Let’s explore together.
React Native is an open-source framework created by Facebook in 2015 for Android and iOS mobile app development. The tool, thanks to different projects supported by communities, can also be used for the development of applications for platforms other than iOS and Android such as Windows, Ubuntu etc.
One of the advantages of this Javascript framework is the ability to optimize the development times and costs, since about 95% of the code used is compatible for both iOS and Android. Another important element is its great flexibility, which makes it possible to make updates or transfer apps quickly from one development framework to another. React Native UI components can also be implemented within an existing application.
REACT NATIVE MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO SIMPLIFY PROCESSES OF MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT, KEEPING ALL THE BENEFITS OF NATIVE APPS WITHIN A SINGLE PLATFORM.
How React Native Works
As we said, the great advantage of this tool is that it allows you to have a single codebase to structure the specific components for the two platforms used, ensuring a "native" experience in both cases. In fact, the tool allows you to use a set of elements that fits perfectly to different operating systems, without penalizing any kind in terms of user experience: a unified graphical interface for both iOS and Android users.
In addition, the Fast Refresh feature, made possible thanks to the use of Javascript, allows you to automatically save all changes made at the code level, speeding up your work. In this way it’s possible to view the latest updates in real time, directly within the native platform.
What are the benefits for the end user?
- A cross-platform solution suitable for all needs. With React Native, you can simplify the mobile app development process by keeping all the benefits of native apps within a single platform.
- Reduced costs, excellent performance. Creating an app for different operating systems within the same platform allows you to reduce costs without compromising on final yield.
- Simplified maintenance and updates. Through React Native you can implement the functionality of an app or maintain multiple OS using a single tool.
