Lesson 4: Introduction to ReactJS and Expo

Introduction to ReactJS and Expo

 

ReactJS: ReactJS is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, particularly for single-page applications. Developed by Facebook, it allows developers to create reusable UI components.

Key Features:

  • Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state.
  • Declarative: Design views for each state in your application.
  • Learn Once, Write Anywhere: Use React with different platforms (web, mobile, etc.).

 

Expo: Expo is an open-source platform for making universal native apps for Android, iOS, and the web with JavaScript and React.

Key Features:

  • Development Environment: Provides a set of tools and services to build, deploy, and quickly iterate on native apps.
  • Expo SDK: Includes libraries and components for common functionality like camera access, maps, and notifications.
  • Over-the-Air Updates: Update your app without going through the app store review process.

 

Example Code: Here’s a simple example of a React Native component using Expo:

import React from 'react';
import { Text, View } from 'react-native';

export default function App() {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>
<Text>Welcome to React Native with Expo!</Text>
</View>

);
}

 

Conclusion: ReactJS and Expo are powerful tools for building mobile applications. With a basic understanding of these technologies, you’re ready to create your first mobile app in the next lesson.
