One thing to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

React Native Mobile Development

Guide for building mobile apps with React Native and Expo.

When to Use

Setting up React Native/Expo projects
Running dev servers or builds
Creating mobile components
Handling platform-specific code (iOS/Android)
Configuring app.json or native modules
Troubleshooting mobile-specific issues

Core Commands

# Development
npm start               # Start Metro bundler
npm run ios            # Run on iOS Simulator
npm run android        # Run on Android Emulator

# Expo specific
npx expo start         # Start with Expo CLI
npx expo install PKG   # Install compatible packages
npx expo prebuild      # Generate native code

Component Structure

// Mobile component template
import { View, Text, TouchableOpacity, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

interface Props {
  title: string;
  onPress: () => void;
}

export function MyComponent({ title, onPress }: Props) {
  return (
    <TouchableOpacity onPress={onPress} style={styles.container}>
      <Text style={styles.text}>{title}</Text>
    </TouchableOpacity>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    padding: 16,
    backgroundColor: '#007AFF',
    borderRadius: 8,
  },
  text: {
    color: '#FFFFFF',
    fontSize: 16,
    fontWeight: '600',
  },
});

Platform-Specific Code

import { Platform } from 'react-native';

// Conditional rendering
{Platform.OS === 'ios' && <IOSComponent />}
{Platform.OS === 'android' && <AndroidComponent />}

// Platform-specific values
const height = Platform.select({
  ios: 44,
  android: 56,
  default: 50,
});

// Platform-specific styles
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    ...Platform.select({
      ios: { shadowColor: '#000', shadowOpacity: 0.3 },
      android: { elevation: 4 },
    }),
  },
});

Best Practices

Performance: Use StyleSheet.create(), avoid inline styles, optimize images
Accessibility: Add accessibilityLabel and accessibilityRole
Responsive: Test on different screen sizes
Navigation: Use React Navigation or Expo Router
State: Keep component state minimal, use context/store for shared state

Common Patterns

Lists

import { FlatList } from 'react-native';

<FlatList
  data={items}
  keyExtractor={(item) => item.id}
  renderItem={({ item }) => <ItemComponent item={item} />}
/>

Forms

import { TextInput } from 'react-native';
const [value, setValue] = useState('');

<TextInput
  value={value}
  onChangeText={setValue}
  placeholder="Enter text"
  style={styles.input}
/>

Loading States

import { ActivityIndicator } from 'react-native';

{loading ? <ActivityIndicator /> : <Content />}

Troubleshooting

Metro won't start: Clear cache with npx expo start --clear
Native module error: Run npx expo prebuild --clean
Build fails: Check app.json configuration
Simulator issues: Reset simulator or emulator
