Mastering the art of state management in React Native

Mastering the art of state management in React Native React Native is a powerful framework that allows developers to build high-performance mobile apps using JavaScript. One of the key concepts in React Native is state management, which refers to the process of managing and updating the data that drives your app. Proper state management is essential for building efficient and scalable apps, as it ensures that your app’s data is always up-to-date and consistent. However, managing state can also be one of the most challenging aspects of working with React Native. There are various ways to manage state in React Native, but the most popular and recommended approach is to use the setState() method, which allows you to update the state of a component and re-render it. Another popular approach is to use state management libraries like Redux or MobX, which provide a centralized store for your app’s data and actions. One of the best practices for managing state in React Native is to keep your s...

How to create custom hook in react?

Image
In React, a custom hook is a JavaScript function that starts with the word “use” and that can call other hooks. Custom hooks allow you to extract component logic into reusable functions. To create a custom hook, you can define a function that starts with the word “use” and that includes any logic that you want to reuse. You can then call this function within your components to access the logic it contains. Here is an example of a simple custom hook that manages the state of a toggle button: This custom hook uses the built-in  useState  hook to manage a piece of state that represents whether the toggle button is on or off. It also defines a function called  toggle  that can be used to toggle the state. The hook returns an array that contains the current state and the toggle function. Then you can use this custom hook in your component: In this example, the  MyToggleButton  component calls the  useToggle  custom hook and destructures the returned ar...

What is fabric architecture in react?

What is fabric architecture in react? Fabric is the new rendering system for React Native. It is a conceptual improvement on the old render system. Unlocking new capabilities for React Native, enhancing interoperability with host platforms, and unifying more render logic in C++ are the fundamental principles. The Facebook app's development began in 2018, and the new renderer will support React Native in 2021. Better user experiences that were not possible with the legacy architecture were made possible by the render architecture. Here are some examples: React Fabric is a set of libraries and components for using the Microsoft Fabric design system to build web applications with React. Fabric is a set of design principles and user interface (UI) components that developers can use to create applications that are consistent, visually appealing, and easy to use. Button, form, list, and other pre-built UI components, all of which adhere to the Fabric design guidelines, are available from...

Exploring useRef Hook in React Native Applications

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. It is essential to keep in mind that useRef is distinct from useState, where component re-rendering is triggered by state updates. useRef only alters the current property an...
