App templates

This folder contains basic app templates. These get expanded by 'react-native init' when creating a new app to make it easier for anyone to get started.

Chat Example

This is an example React Native app demonstrates ListViews, text input and navigation between a few screens.

Purpose

One problem with React Native is that it is not trivial to get started: react-native init creates a very simple app that renders some text. Everyone then has to figure out how to do very basic things such as adding a list of items fetched from a server, navigating to a screen when a list item is tapped, or handling text input.

This app is a template used by react-native init so it is easier for anyone to get up and running quickly by having an app with a few screens, a ListView and a TextInput that works well with the software keyboard.

Best practices

Another purpose of this app is to define best practices such as:

  • The folder structure of a standalone React Native app
  • A style guide for JavaScript and React - for this we use the AirBnb style guide
  • Naming conventions

We need your feedback to settle on a good set of best practices. Have you built React Native apps? If so, please use the issues in the repo mkonicek/ChatExample to discuss what you think are the best practices that this example should be using.

Running the app locally

cd ChatExample
yarn
react-native run-ios
react-native run-android

(In case you want to use react-navigation master):

# Install dependencies:
cd react-navigation
yarn
yarn pack --filename react-navigation-1.0.0-alpha.tgz
cd ChatExample
yarn
yarn add ~/code/react-navigation/react-navigation-1.0.0-alpha.tgz
