Chapter 16: Kick-Starting React Native Projects

In this chapter, you'll get up and running with React Native. Thankfully, much of the boilerplate code involved with the creation of a new project is handled for you by the command-line tools. We will look at the different CLI tools for React Native apps and create our first simple app that you will be able to upload and start right on your device.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:

  • Exploring React Native CLI tools
  • Installing and using the Expo command-line tool
  • Viewing your app on your phone
  • Viewing your app on Expo Snack
