React Native is a popular JavaScript framework for building native mobile applications using React. This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to help you get started with React Native development.
Getting Started
Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
- Node.js and npm installed
- React and React Native installed globally
- A mobile device or emulator for testing
To get started, follow these steps:
- Create a new React Native project using the React Native CLI:
npx react-native init MyNewProject
- Navigate to your project directory:
cd MyNewProject
- Start the development server:
npx react-native start
- Run your app on a device or emulator:
npx react-native run-android # or npx react-native run-ios
Key Concepts
Here are some key concepts in React Native:
- Components: Building blocks of your app, similar to React components.
- State: Data that changes over time and is used to update the UI.
- Props: Data passed to components to configure their behavior.
- Styles: CSS-like styles for styling your components.
- Navigation: Managing navigation between different screens in your app.

Sample Code
Here's a simple example of a React Native component:
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
const App = () => {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={styles.title}>Hello, React Native!</Text>
</View>
);
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
},
title: {
fontSize: 20,
textAlign: 'center',
margin: 10,
},
});
export default App;
