Lesson 5: Creating Your First Mobile App

Creating Your First Mobile App

Introduction: In this lesson, you’ll create a simple “Hello World” mobile app using ReactJS and Expo. This will help you get comfortable with the development process.

 

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Set Up Your Project

  1. Open your terminal and navigate to your project directory.
  2. Start the Expo development server:
    expo start

 

Step 2: Create the App Component

  1. Open the App.js file in your code editor.
  2. Replace the existing code with the following:
import React from 'react';
import { Text, View, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export default function App() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={styles.text}>Hello World!</Text>
</View>

);
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundColor: '#f0f0f0',
},
text: {
fontSize: 24,
color: '#333',
},
});

 

Step 3: Run Your App

  1. Open the Expo Go app on your smartphone.
  2. Scan the QR code displayed in your terminal or web browser.
  3. Your “Hello World” app should now be running on your device.

 

Conclusion: Congratulations! You’ve just created your first mobile app using ReactJS and Expo. This simple app is a great starting point for building more complex applications. In the next section, we’ll dive deeper into React Native components and how to use them in your apps.
