Preface

Frameworks and libraries come and go. Design patterns usually stay for longer. In this book, we do a mix of learning React Native and design patterns relevant to this ecosystem. When it comes to React, the essential knowledge about design patterns is spread all over the place. Sometimes it's buried in proprietary code bases. This book brings it to you. I call them idea patterns: hands-on design patterns that are explained with real working examples. In this book we use React Native, but you can successfully use most of those patterns in web development with React, or even other frameworks, such as Angular or Vue. Hopefully you will use this knowledge to build well thought-out and easy-to-maintain code bases. Good luck with this endeavor!
