React Native and how to (partly) integrate it in your native app



React Native
React Native lets you build mobile apps using only JavaScript. It uses the same design as React, letting you compose a rich mobile UI from declarative components.


  • React Native uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps. You just put those building blocks together using JavaScript and React.
  • With Hot Reloading, you can even run new code while retaining your application state.
  • React Native combines smoothly with components written in Objective-C, Java, or Swift.


Currently it's full monty or none: Either you use React Native completely for you app or you can't use it at all, e.g. for a single widget or screen. If you face the same situation take a look at:
