Template Structure
Let's get our hands dirty and start making changes to the default starter Expo App!
Folder Structure
Let's have a look at the folder structure. Since I'm using Expo CLI version 4.5.2, your folder structure might look a little different from mine, but most of the core functionality remains the same!
We'll change our App.js
file to make changes to our application. Let's start by adding a Button
and using the useState
hook to manage the text that is displayed in the Text
component.
React Native apps are hard work!
Building apps with Expo is easy, since most of the functionality is provided out of the box. Also using other libraries such as Flutter or Ionic, we can easily build native apps since they offer a lot of things out of the box! But building react native apps from scratch, requires a lot of hard work, but then also gives you more power in terms of flexibility!
