    Study Notes

    Components

    • Building blocks of a React Native app
    • Reusable pieces of code that represent a part of the user interface
    • Types of components:
      • Functional components: No access to lifecycle methods
      • Class components: Access to lifecycle methods
    • Component lifecycle:
      • Mounting: Component is inserted into the DOM tree
      • Updating: Component's props or state change
      • Unmounting: Component is removed from the DOM tree
    • Component properties:
      • Props: Immutable values passed from parent components
      • State: Mutable values managed by the component itself
    • Navigation in React Native is handled by the react-navigation library
    • Navigation types:
      • Stack navigation: Multiple screens stacked on top of each other
      • Tab navigation: Multiple screens accessible through tabs
      • Drawer navigation: Screen slides in from the side
    • Navigation components:
      • Navigator: Manages the navigation state
      • Screen: Represents a single screen in the navigation flow
      • Stack.Navigator: Manages a stack of screens

    Native Modules

    • Native modules allow access to native platform functionality
    • Types of native modules:
      • Native UI components: e.g., DatePickerIOS, SegmentedControlIOS
      • Native APIs: e.g., CameraRoll, MapView
    • Native modules can be:
      • Built-in: Provided by React Native
      • Third-party: Created by the community
      • Custom: Created by the developer

    JSX

    • JSX is a syntax extension for JavaScript
    • Allows writing HTML-like code in JavaScript files
    • JSX advantages:
      • Simplifies code
      • Improves code readability
      • Reduces errors
    • JSX syntax:
      • ``: Self-closing tag
      • content: Tag with content
      • {expression}: JavaScript expression

    State Management

    • State management in React Native is handled by the useState hook
    • useState:
      • Takes an initial state value as an argument
      • Returns an array with the current state and an update function
    • State management best practices:
      • Keep state minimal and simple
      • Avoid complex state updates
      • Use the useReducer hook for complex state management

    Components

    • Components are the building blocks of a React Native app and represent a part of the user interface.
    • There are two types of components: functional components, which have no access to lifecycle methods, and class components, which have access to lifecycle methods.
    • The component lifecycle consists of three phases: mounting, when the component is inserted into the DOM tree, updating, when the component's props or state change, and unmounting, when the component is removed from the DOM tree.
    • Components have two types of properties: props, which are immutable values passed from parent components, and state, which are mutable values managed by the component itself.
    • Navigation in React Native is handled by the react-navigation library.
    • There are three types of navigation: stack navigation, which allows multiple screens to be stacked on top of each other, tab navigation, which allows multiple screens to be accessible through tabs, and drawer navigation, which allows a screen to slide in from the side.
    • Navigation components include Navigator, which manages the navigation state, Screen, which represents a single screen in the navigation flow, and Stack.Navigator, which manages a stack of screens.

    Native Modules

    • Native modules allow access to native platform functionality, such as native UI components and native APIs.
    • Native modules can be built-in, provided by React Native, third-party, created by the community, or custom, created by the developer.
    • Examples of native UI components include DatePickerIOS and SegmentedControlIOS, while examples of native APIs include CameraRoll and MapView.

    JSX

    • JSX is a syntax extension for JavaScript that allows writing HTML-like code in JavaScript files.
    • JSX simplifies code, improves code readability, and reduces errors.
    • JSX syntax includes self-closing tags, tags with content, and JavaScript expressions.

    State Management

    • State management in React Native is handled by the useState hook.
    • The useState hook takes an initial state value as an argument and returns an array with the current state and an update function.
    • Best practices for state management include keeping state minimal and simple, avoiding complex state updates, and using the useReducer hook for complex state management.
