Book Description

React Native helps developers reuse code across the web and on mobile. It enables developer to develop cross-platform (iOS and Android) mobile apps without knowing Swift, ObjectiveC or Java/ Android.

This book will show you effective design patterns in the React Native world and will make you ready for professional development in big teams.

The book will focus only on the patterns that are relevant to JavaScript, React and React Native. This book will start with the most standard development patterns like component building patterns, styling patterns and then extend these patterns to your mobile application using real world practical examples. Each chapter comes with full, separate source code of applications that you can build and run on your phone.

The book is also diving into architectural patterns. Especially how to adapt MVC to React environment. You will learn Flux architecture and how Redux is implementing it. Each approach will be presented with its pros and cons. You will learn how to work with external data sources using libraries like Redux thunk, Redux Saga and GraphQL.

Aside from React and React Native patterns the book also covers pure JavaScript patterns and Functional Programming patterns. Explanations of pure and impure functions are provided and how function purity impacts Redux library architecture.

The end goal is the ability to recognize the best solution for a given problem for your next mobile application.
