Summary
Wrapping up React Native with what you can ship today and what to learn next.
What you learned + FlatList example
EXAMPLE
# React Native summary
You can now:
- Set up a project with Expo or bare workflow and understand the trade-offs
- Build screens with FlatList, SafeAreaView, and platform-aware styles
- Navigate with React Navigation - stack, tabs, drawer
- Manage state with hooks, context, or Zustand
- Persist data with AsyncStorage or MMKV
- Talk to native modules - both writing one and using TurboModules
- Profile with Flipper and the new architecture profiler
- Ship to TestFlight and Google Play internal track
# Your next step - a performant FlatList
import { FlatList, View, Text } from 'react-native';
export function UserList({ users }) {
return (
<FlatList
data={users}
keyExtractor={(u) => u.id}
renderItem={({ item }) => (
<View style={{ padding: 12 }}>
<Text style={{ fontWeight: '600' }}>{item.name}</Text>
<Text style={{ color: '#666' }}>{item.email}</Text>
</View>
)}
// Performance knobs:
initialNumToRender={10}
maxToRenderPerBatch={10}
windowSize={5}
getItemLayout={(_, i) => ({ length: 64, offset: 64 * i, index: i })}
/>
);
}
Why it matters
Mobile is where you feel the cost of every dependency. Audit what you actually need before adding native modules.
Tip: Tweak the snippet with Try it Yourself », then sit the quiz at the bottom of the page.
