I'm a newbie for React Native and I don't have native development experience(I only worked on several hybrid apps), while learning this react native framework, I get several questions which block my learning.
How to navigate from one page(component) to another page(component) without relying on navigatorIOS or navigator component? In Hybrid develop mode, it's so easy, just add element A with href attribute would work, but in React Native, how to do it? I read some examples, they all use navigator or navigateIOS component to do it.
Is there any interceptor mechanism in react native so that we could inject some logic before rendering or loading component, for example, we want to have interceptor to check whether user has been login?
How to save data globally (cross components)? In Hybrid mode, we have session, we have local storage, and if we angular JS framework, we could use Service or root Scope to save data, by using react native, how do we save data cross components?
Since I'm new to react native and new to native application development, these questions might be fairly stupid, if anyone could help on this.
I don't know i'm answering to your question but please check this router component for react
https://github.com/rackt/react-router
ComponentWillMount and ComponentDidMount can be used to perform some initial loading
You can use flux framework along with React which can do almost all like in angular js

I have created a website with react.js, Material-UI, and node.js. Now I want to create a mobile app for that website with React-native. I have used redux,react-redux, and saga on the website. I am new to react-native.
I want to know, Is it possible to create a mobile app and website in a single project structure, If possible then how? Because I don't want to repeat the same state and API calling procedure two times.
React.js uses HTML to render pages and React native doesn't support HTML so you can't use direct HTML.
You can buy react native theme that suits your need and you can re-use services and api call logic from react code.
Theme: https://codecanyon.net/search/react%20native
You can't just use your whole code into the react native app.
First and foremost, you must adhere to the react native architecture before creating your UI with react native components.

The most of the assistance will be found here.
There is also the option of creating a new react-native project and using webview to show your entire website there.

I want to study a course about React, but I don't know couple of things, like:
What is the difference between React, ReactJS, and React Native ?
Well, if there is a big difference, What is the best one of them to study ?
I am really looking forward to study it, so if you got any information on the best way to start learning this course, I would appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
React and React.Js is one and the same.
React / ReactJs
ReactJS is an open-source JavaScript library used to build the user interface for Web Applications. It is responsible only for the view layer of the application. It provides developers to compose complex UIs from a small and isolated piece of code called "components." ReactJS made of two parts first is components, that are the pieces that contain HTML code and what you want to see in the user interface, and the second one is HTML document where all your components will be rendered.
React Native
React Native is an open-source JavaScript framework used for developing a mobile application for iOS Android, and Windows. It uses only JavaScript to build a cross-platform mobile app. React Native is same as React, but it uses native components instead of using web components as building blocks. It targets mobile platforms rather than the browser.

React and React native both solves different kind of problem. React is common library between react and react-native which provides supports for hooks and generate virtual dom.
react-dom will render content on web using virtual dom created by react.
However on other side react-native will create bundle for android and iOS.
Main differences between Reactjs and React Native
When it comes to a web platform, Reactjs can be defined as a base
derivative of React DOM, while React Native acts as a base
derivative by keeping workflow and syntax the same alongside
altering components.
React is a JavaScript library that can help your developers in
building a highly responsive UI Layer and React Native on the other
hand is a complete framework to develop cross-platform applications.
Virtual DOM is used to extract browser code in React; native APIs
help in rendering components in mobile in React Native.
In React Native, UI is rendered with the help of JSX but the
applications curated with Reactjs extract HTML in UI.
For styling in Reactjs, CSS is used, and React Native platform
requires a stylesheet for styling.
Using CSS, you can carry out animation in Reactjs; for animation in
React Native, you need to use an animated API.
I am currently studying RN by myself, without prior knowledge in React. A lot of things seem to exist in both such as Redux and hooks. Many of the resources I find refer to React in the title (e.g "Redux Crash Course With React").
My question is: where does the line cross between React and React Native? Would I be fine studyig form these resources that refer to React, or would that just confuse me?
I'm trying to understand a go to approach to understand which resource I'd be fine with and which would be irrelevant.
React Native contains React library to use it as front-end library.
Most of usages of React are the same for React-Native. And it is same for Redux too.
React-Native must have other libraries to build applications that can run on both of Android and iOS.
Also it has middleware libraries that allow us to use most of native libraries' functionalities. As an example you can check Alert directory out. It is used for to show native Android alert dialogs.
Good luck..
Both react and react native use javascript to create the user interface we need but the difference is in the rendering, style and bundling and you should know that react native is a framework itself but react.js is a library. the main difference:
---React-Native doesn’t use HTML to render the app, but provides alternative components that work in a similar way. Those React-Native components map the actual real native iOS or Android UI components that get rendered on the app.
---With React-Native, you’ll have to learn a completely new way to animate the different components of your app with Javascript.
--- navigating between pages are totally different!!!
so we conclude that it's better to study references based on RN not react.js . but some functionalities such as redux or hooks or a lot of it's components are exactly the same and you can study react.js references for them. only the 3 differents that i said above are important.
I heard "grommet with reactjs" has good UI. So I want to try "grommet" on my environment. But I couldn't understand how to use "grommet". Because I expected this module can work on usual internet browser only. But sometime some websites explained "to use node.js" for grommet. Is this serverside module? Can't use "grommet" internet browser only?
https://v2.grommet.io/
I already read component's page but I wasn't able to understand.
https://v2.grommet.io/components
React is a framework for creating UI components.
Grommet is a set of components built with React. If you need a calendar in your application, you can use the calendar provided by Grommet instead of building your own.
Another example of a component library similar to Grommet is Blueprint.
You can use Grommet wherever you use React. React is meant to be displayed in a browser. React can also be rendered server-side (into static HTML) and then made 'dynamic' again on the client (browser side).
React is javascript, and if you want to see React in a browser, the browser needs to fetch the javascript and HTML from the website from a server/website. You can, but do not have to, use Node.js to serve your React/Grommet website.
Recently I have a requirement where I need to use the react native component in react web app. I have searched and found one component i.e React Native Web.
That converts the react native component to work in react web app. Although I am having some errors but I actually wanted to confirm that whether it is doable to use the react native component in react web app SO that whenever we make changes in React Native Component, that will automatically be handled to be shown in the web. Because for react-native-web, we need to provide the react native file that will be converted into the web view. But how we can make sure that whenever we update the mobile component, changes will automatically be reflected on the web without making any changes.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Yeah , U can use react-native-web.
But not all components working in react-native works on react-native-web , so u have to take care of those components and then u can maintain same codebase for both.
Further more, u can refer to https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web modules and components section
