Create native apps for Android, iOS, and more using React
React Native combines the best parts of native development with React, a best-in-class
JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

Use a little—or a lot. You can use React Native today in your existing Android and iOS
projects or you can create a whole new app from scratch.

Written in JavaScript—rendered with native code

import React from 'react';
React primitives render to native platform UI, meaning your app uses the same native
import {Text, View} from 'react-native';
platform APIs other apps do.

import {Header} from './Header';

import {heading} from './Typography';
Many platforms, one React. Create platform-specific versions of components so a single
codebase can share code across platforms. With React Native, one team can maintain
const WelcomeScreen = () => (
multiple platforms and share a common technology—React.
<View>
<Header title="Welcome to React Native"/>
<Text style={heading}>Step One</Text>
<Text>
Edit App.js to change this screen and turn it
into your app.
</Text>
<Text style={heading}>See Your Changes</Text>
<Text>
Press Cmd + R inside the simulator to reload
your app’s code.
</Text>
<Text style={heading}>Debug</Text>
<Text>
Press Cmd + M or Shake your device to open the
React Native Debug Menu.
</Text>
<Text style={heading}>Learn</Text>

Native Development For Everyone

React Native lets you create truly native apps and doesn't compromise your users'
experiences. It provides a core set of platform agnostic native components like View , Text ,
and Image that map directly to the platform’s native UI building blocks.

React components wrap existing native code and interact with native APIs via React’s
declarative UI paradigm and JavaScript.
