<strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>FUTURE</strong> <strong>–</strong><br />
<strong>Know</strong> <strong>How</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Get</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Best</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>It</strong><br />
<strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> <strong>is</strong> one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most popular open source frameworks doing <strong>the</strong> rounds <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
internet since <strong>the</strong> time Facebook launched it in 2015. From Instagram, Tesla, AirBnB <strong>to</strong><br />
Bloomberg, Walmart and Wix, <strong>the</strong>re are a lot <strong>of</strong> high-end applications which <strong>is</strong> making<br />
extensive use <strong>of</strong> <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> and, <strong>the</strong>reby having a competitive edge over <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
competi<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />
In th<strong>is</strong> post, we will d<strong>is</strong>cuss how <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> usage <strong>is</strong> growing over <strong>the</strong> time and how it<br />
has become <strong>the</strong> most favorable app development framework for businesses <strong>of</strong> all types<br />

and size. Let's have a look at <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p reasons what makes it <strong>the</strong> <strong>FUTURE</strong> <strong>of</strong> app<br />
development.<br />
Let's have a look at <strong>the</strong> stat<strong>is</strong>tics below <strong>is</strong> enough <strong>to</strong> understand how <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> <strong>is</strong><br />
not only alive but, also kicking hard.<br />
In fact, <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> has a star rating <strong>of</strong> a whopping 59.8k at GitHub.<br />
Doesn't that speak volumes about its credibility and success? <strong>It</strong> certainly does. So, what's<br />
<strong>the</strong> key <strong>to</strong> <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong>'s colossal success? <strong>It</strong> lies in its ability <strong>to</strong> perform seamlessly while<br />
helping developers create world-class native mobile apps using UI components and<br />
JavaScript.<br />

Therefore, if you want your mobile app <strong>to</strong> compete with <strong>the</strong> names <strong>of</strong> Instagram,<br />
Walmart etc. it <strong>is</strong> high time you invest in a <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> app. Moreover, a recent report<br />
by Stat<strong>is</strong>ta states that <strong>the</strong> global app revenue <strong>is</strong> forecasted <strong>to</strong> reach a vast 188.9 billion<br />
U.S dollars by <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> 2020.<br />

2015 <strong>to</strong> 2020.<br />
Hence, using <strong>the</strong> right app development <strong>to</strong>ol at <strong>the</strong> right time can certainly help you<br />
leverage pr<strong>of</strong>its out <strong>of</strong> your app <strong>to</strong> a great extent. Here's a closer look at <strong>the</strong><br />
various benefits <strong>of</strong> developing an app through <strong>the</strong> <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> framework.<br />
1. Minimized Development Time<br />
<strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> can transfer <strong>the</strong> codes between various mobile platforms. To put it in o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
words, an application developed for iOS on <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> can easily be compiled in<strong>to</strong> an<br />
Android app with a few minor changes. Since a single code can be used across both<br />
info@techtic.com www.techtic.com +1 201-793-8324
platforms, <strong>the</strong> development time certainly gets minimized. In fact, developing an<br />
application through <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> takes 33% less time than developing an Android or<br />
iOS app natively. Moreover, with such minimized development time, <strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> app<br />
development also lowers down considerably.<br />
2. Simple Maintenance<br />
The older version <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> operating system and <strong>the</strong> apps developed in <strong>the</strong> native<br />
framework require regular updates and, <strong>the</strong>refore are very time consuming and<br />
demanding. <strong>How</strong>ever, <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> with its flexible approach makes <strong>the</strong> overall app<br />
maintenance easy, simple and price effective, all at <strong>the</strong> same time.<br />
3. Comes with Reusable Components<br />
<strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> works as a cross-platform framework that uses reusable native components<br />
for its functioning and development. Besides, <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> also has a component-specific<br />
structure which makes <strong>the</strong> app development agile and smooth.<br />
4. Impeccable User Interface and User Experience<br />
<strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> facilitates <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> fully optimized apps that are compatible<br />
across all <strong>the</strong> devices seamlessly. The apps developed with <strong>React</strong> native platform not<br />
only adjust <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> screen configuration by default but, also processes faster data d<strong>is</strong>play<br />
along with fixing <strong>the</strong> <strong>is</strong>sues <strong>of</strong> fluctuating data streamlining. Fur<strong>the</strong>r, with its lightweight<br />
feature, it also can support high definition graphics and app contents.<br />

5. Easy Integration<br />
<strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> has a way <strong>of</strong> synchronizing and integrating itself with all <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
compatible apps like camera, GPS, etc. <strong>It</strong> happens because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> internal programming<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> devices, <strong>the</strong>reby, reducing any additional integration work for developers.<br />
6. Impeccable User Interface and User Experience<br />
Working on <strong>the</strong> feature <strong>of</strong> Hot Module Replacement (HMR), <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> helps a<br />
developer make changes in <strong>the</strong> source code while immediately seeing <strong>the</strong> results. With<br />
<strong>the</strong> feature <strong>of</strong> hot reloading, any change in <strong>the</strong> code makes <strong>the</strong> app reload au<strong>to</strong>matically.<br />
info@techtic.com www.techtic.com +1 201-793-8324
Th<strong>is</strong>, in turn, ass<strong>is</strong>ts <strong>the</strong> developers <strong>to</strong> create an app without any fur<strong>the</strong>r need <strong>of</strong><br />
recompilation while speeding up <strong>the</strong> whole development process.<br />
7. Single Team Function<br />
Since one approach works for both <strong>the</strong> platforms <strong>of</strong> <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong>, <strong>the</strong> team <strong>of</strong> developers<br />
<strong>is</strong> relatively smaller for <strong>the</strong> app development. Not only has it made <strong>the</strong> whole app<br />
development process reasonable but, also easier <strong>to</strong> manage. In fact, it even helps a<br />
developer create a web app simultaneously. All <strong>the</strong>y need <strong>to</strong> do <strong>is</strong> share <strong>the</strong> codes<br />
between <strong>the</strong> three platforms, i.e. Android, iOS and web respectively.<br />
8. Ability <strong>to</strong> Work Offline<br />
Unlike native apps that lack <strong>the</strong> dominant feature <strong>of</strong> working in an <strong>of</strong>fline environment,<br />
<strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> s<strong>to</strong>res <strong>the</strong> device's API, saves <strong>the</strong> data <strong>of</strong>fline and facilitates <strong>of</strong>fline working<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> app in any adverse or no network condition. Th<strong>is</strong>, indeed makes <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
most sought after app development platform and places it a notch above native app.<br />
<strong>Best</strong> Practices <strong>of</strong> <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong>- <strong>Get</strong>ting <strong>the</strong> <strong>Best</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>It</strong><br />
Now, since you know <strong>the</strong> advantages <strong>of</strong> using a <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> platform, <strong>the</strong> next step <strong>is</strong><br />
getting an insight on how <strong>to</strong> extract <strong>the</strong> best out <strong>of</strong> it.<br />
Component Classification<br />
The first and foremost step <strong>is</strong> <strong>to</strong> break <strong>the</strong> component in<strong>to</strong> two categories, i.e.<br />
presentation component and container component. While a presentation component <strong>is</strong><br />
concerned with how things look and what styles are <strong>to</strong> be implemented, <strong>the</strong> container<br />
components are concerned <strong>to</strong>wards how things work while providing <strong>the</strong> presentational<br />
component with data and behavior.<br />
info@techtic.com www.techtic.com +1 201-793-8324
Functional Component Usage<br />
<strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong>'s stateless presentational component deals solely with styles and user<br />
interface. Therefore, <strong>the</strong>re <strong>is</strong> a need for functional component usage. <strong>It</strong> does not only<br />
make <strong>the</strong> <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> code easier <strong>to</strong> test but, also facilitates better performance.<br />
Class Component Usage<br />
Since container component works with state and fetches data for rendering <strong>the</strong><br />
subcomponents, class components can work a great deal in developing container<br />
component. Class components work as a stateful component with various lifecycle<br />
methods such as componentDidMount, componentWillUnmount, etc.<br />

Unique Key Element<br />
Unique keys have <strong>the</strong> feature <strong>of</strong> identifying <strong>the</strong> items which have changed, added or<br />
removed. One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> best ways <strong>of</strong> choosing a key <strong>is</strong> <strong>to</strong> make use <strong>of</strong> a string that uniquely<br />
identifies a l<strong>is</strong>t item. In th<strong>is</strong> context, using IDs as a key from l<strong>is</strong>t items for smooth<br />
functioning can be a great strategy.<br />
Static Image Resource Management<br />
<strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> integrates <strong>the</strong> images and o<strong>the</strong>r media assets that support throughout iOS<br />
and Android apps. So, it adds a static image within any app in a way that <strong>the</strong> image<br />
name <strong>is</strong> known statically.<br />
States and Business Logic Management<br />
Since <strong>React</strong> <strong>is</strong> used for user interface, for managing states and business logic, <strong>the</strong>re <strong>is</strong> a<br />
need for a different interface. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> where <strong>React</strong> can use Redux. <strong>It</strong> works with large<br />
scale apps and helps in efficiently maintaining state and business logic.<br />
Image Optimization<br />
Optimizing images makes <strong>the</strong>m load faster, <strong>the</strong>reby, giving <strong>the</strong> users a high-end app<br />
experience. Therefore, it should always be optimized on a high priority bas<strong>is</strong>. <strong>It</strong> can be<br />
done by resizing <strong>the</strong> images and fur<strong>the</strong>r uploading it in <strong>the</strong> cloud s<strong>to</strong>rage such as s3<br />
through server while extracting <strong>the</strong> CDN link and returning <strong>the</strong>m through an API.<br />
info@techtic.com www.techtic.com +1 201-793-8324
Feedback and Highlighting Attributes<br />
One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> best ways <strong>of</strong> making <strong>the</strong> users feel great about <strong>the</strong> <strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> app <strong>is</strong> by<br />
giving <strong>the</strong>m high-end features like highlighting, feedback, etc. These features let users<br />
know how <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>to</strong>uch <strong>is</strong> being handled and what will happen once <strong>the</strong>y release a<br />
particular gesture.<br />
Platform-specific Code and Style Usage<br />
<strong>React</strong> <strong>Native</strong> comes with inbuilt APIs for writing code supported on both <strong>the</strong> platforms.<br />
<strong>How</strong>ever, <strong>the</strong>re can be times when developers end up writing platform particular things<br />
info@techtic.com www.techtic.com +1 201-793-8324
such as callbacks and style sheets. Therefore, <strong>to</strong> organize <strong>the</strong> codes better, platform<br />
modules for style usage can be used for taking care <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> style and layout.<br />
