Benefits of react native over flutter React Native and Flutter are both popular open-source frameworks for building mobile applications. While both frameworks have their own set of benefits, React Native has certain advantages over Flutter. Community: React Native has a larger and more established community, which means that there are more resources and developers available for support and development. Performance: React Native uses native components and APIs, which means that the performance of the application is generally better when compared to Flutter. Code Reusability: React Native allows developers to share a significant amount of code between iOS and Android platforms, which results in faster development times and cost savings. Stable and Mature: React Native has been around for a longer period of time and has been used in production by many large companies, resulting in a more stable and mature framework. Integration with existing apps: React Native allows developers to easily ...

Exploring useRef Hook in React Native Applications React's useRef hook lets you make a reference to a specific DOM element or component instance. Several scenarios can benefit from this, such as: Using this hook, you can focus an input field or measure a component's size by accessing the underlying DOM element, storing a value, such as a timer ID or an instance of a third-party library, that keep to remain constant across multiple renders of a component. Use useRef to make a reference to a text input and use it to focus the input when a button is clicked, as shown in the following example: A ref object with only one property, current, is returned by useRef. The initial value passed as an argument, if any, will be used to initialize this property, and its value can be changed by using ref.current = newValue.
