Overview of this book

React 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.

Preface

The Flux architecture


The Flux application architecture is the new paradigm for handling data within applications, developed as an alternative to traditional Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectures or derivatives thereof. Before we delve into learning the architecture and using it to build an application, let's discuss the motivations for creating Flux and why we are using it in our React Native applications.

Motivation

When Facebook introduced Flux, they contended that MVC architectures do not scale. The reason for this, their argument goes, is that large applications become less and less predictable as they scale under these architectures. This lack of predictability stems from opaque lines of communication between the various architecture components that often lead to unintended consequences when they are not fully understood.

The motivation of Flux, therefore, is to increase predictability in large applications, enabling developers to feel confident in making changes and to do so faster...
