5. React Native Walkthrough http://goo.gl/Uw0tES
6. react native at first glance
7. • React released in 2013 • industry-wide adoption (Facebook, Netflix, BBC to name a few) • React Native released 2015 • releases are currently in beta • community is already huge
8. MVC… what’s that • React Native Components are just the V of MVC • RN uses one-way data binding (components pass data to nested components) • props and state • props = data that is passed on from a parent component (most data should be passed this way) • state = data that needs to trigger a re-render of the view
9. Native Module Support • one of React’s nicest features • now you have: React Native components, node libraries, and any Cocoapod library you want • there is also support for native UI components (Swift or ObjC)
10. Debugging Mr. Bean doing step-by-step debugging
11. Debugging • you can use the Chrome debugger • why this is awesome: • we can do step-by-step debugging • we can inspect and drill into nested components • we can easily find irregularities in data • better error-logging
