Introduction

nnnn

With the rise in popularity of React Native and its adoption by developers, there is a lot of confusion about what it takes to build a great mobile app. In this post, we will go over 10 essential tools that will help you create professional apps without having to learn complex languages or frameworks.

nnnn

Atom

nnnn

Atom is a free, open-source text editor developed by GitHub. It’s built with the same open-source technologies used by modern web browsers and offers an intuitive interface that’s built to be deeply customizable but approachable using the default configuration.

nnnn

Atom has been used in projects ranging from small startups to large enterprises such as Bloomberg LP, WeWork, and even NASA!

nnnn

Atom helps you write code faster with a smart and flexible autocomplete engine that understands your codebase better than ever before (and it gets smarter over time). Tons of packages and themes are available for use in Atom as well – there’s no reason not to give this powerful tool a try if you’re looking for something new!

nnnn

Nuclide

nnnn

Nuclide is a tool for React developers. It supports React Native and other frameworks, including Flutter, Ionic, Electron, and Xamarin. It’s built with Atom, Flow, and Redux.

nnnn

Nuclide provides a rich development environment with autocomplete and goto definition features that make it easy to navigate your codebase without having to jump from editor window to editor window (or worse: copy/paste). Other features include an interactive in-app developer menu that lets you run commands on your device; easy debugging capabilities; support for cross-platform development across Android/iOS devices as well as Windows/MacOS platforms (via Microsoft Visual Studio); ability to run commands remotely via SSH tunneling protocols such as Putty or GitHub etc.; ability to connect multiple devices together over WiFi or Bluetooth connections so they can share data back-and-forth between each other; built-in support for WebTorrent protocol which allows users access content quickly while streaming live video streams directly from web browsers without any downloads required!

nnnn

Visual Studio Code

nnnn

Visual Studio Code is a free, open-source, lightweight code editor that runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

nnnn

Nuclide is a free, open-source IDE developed by Facebook and designed for React Native applications.

nnnn

Atom is an advanced text editor that can be used as an IDE for programming in React Native.

nnnn

Ignite is one of the most popular React Native application boilerplates.

nnnn

NativeBase is a free and open-source UI component library for React Native to build native mobile apps for iOS and Android platforms

nnnn

Expo

nnnn

Expo is a tool that allows you to build, test and deploy apps without setting up your own server. Expo is an open-source project and can be downloaded from the expo website. You can also use it with react.js.

nnnn

Expo has two main features:

nnnn

n
• Building – It allows you to create new apps using drag-and-drop functionality (similar to Flux).  * Testing – The testing feature lets you run tests against your app while it’s running in real time or using Jest which will log errors or warnings as they occur so that they don’t get lost in logs later on when trying to debug them
n

nnnn

Flow

nnnn

Flow is a static type checker for JavaScript. It can be used to find errors in your code, add type annotations to your code and make it more readable.

nnnn

Flow supports most of the standard ECMAScript features, includingfat arrows ( -> ), hoisting of declarations, control flow statements ( if , else ), function calls within functions and class definitions. It also supports async/await syntax from ES2015 modules as well as default parameters for functions with default values.

nnnn

Redux is a state management library that helps you manage data in your app by providing several tools for storing state data and actions that change that state

nnnn

Redux

nnnn

Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps. It helps you write applications that behave consistently, run in different environments (client, server, and native), and are easy to test.

nnnn

On top of Redux we add optional packages for object-relational mapping (ORM), real-time data syncing, routing and form validation.

nnnn

ESLint

nnnn

ESLint is a pluggable JavaScript linter that checks code against standards and conventions. ESLint finds errors and potential problems in your JavaScript code, such as:

nnnn

n
• Incorrect syntax or usage of language features (e.g., using the wrong type of parentheses)
nnnn
• Improper imports (e.g., using incorrect export statements)
nnnn
• Conflicting code structures within files (e.g., duplicate declarations or definitions)
n

nnnn

Ignite

nnnn

Ignite is a React Native developer toolkit. It’s a collection of tools that help you build apps, including:

nnnn

n
• a React Native boilerplate with code examples and all the dependencies needed to get started quickly,
nnnn
• an Ext JS UI framework for building rich UIs,
nnnn
• an active community of developers who share their experiences and best practices on GitHub, and so much more!

nnnn

NativeBase

nnnn

NativeBase is a UI framework for React Native. It provides you with the components that you need to build your app. It is built on top of React Native and provides a set of tools and APIs to build cross-platform mobile apps using React Native.

nnnn

Nuclide is an open-source IDE package for React Native

nnnn

NativeBase is a cross-platform UI toolkit for React Native

nnnn

Reactotron

nnnn

Reactotron is a tool for inspecting your React application. It can be used to debug and profile your app, inspect the state of components and find out where they are being used in the tree.

nnnn

It allows you to inspect the React tree, find components and inspect their props and state. You can also sort or filter by different criteria like:

nnnn

n
• props
nnnn
• refs (react-native elements)
nnnn
• children (props/arrays)
nnnn
• widths
