has been concentrating on web and mobile application development for quite some time now. It
has recently released a range of programs for software development like React Native, Flux
Architecture, GraphQL and Relay. Among them React is meant for native mobile app
development brought in collaboration with a big open source community.
Vision of React
Native app development is dependent on iTunes store or Google Play where majority of the
native apps are concentrated. An app development company has to spend days and months in
time trying to get their apps approved by the stores and release updates. Facebook want to
make things easier for app developers by giving them a way to market their native apps quickly
just like web developers are able to. Facebook is also predicted to make an operating system
based on React.
What React is about?
React is not looking to make standoff apps or any new technology. It aims to make the app
development process easy where reasoning and logic will also be easier to form. App
developers will be able to build apps with complex logic or functions efficiently. They will not
have bugs or suffer from performance issues.
Ease of use
It would be helpful for startup app development companies and beginner app developers to join
the process with minimal knowledge of coding or programming. It would enable entrepreneurs
to make their own apps and launch them in the market. React will also be useful for making
individual apps for personal use, like managing workflow or reminders.
Scope of React
There have been speculations that app developers may be unwilling to adopt React as it would
mean changing to another platform and learning new things. But Facebook aims to make React
so easy to use that anybody with very little programming know how will be able to make apps on
it.
When the programming language C was introduced, many software developers were reluctant
to shift to it. They cited many reasons including it being slower than writing assembly. But today
C is the last word in development.
The various projects of Facebook like React and Relay will fall on the same line. To tell the
truth, React and such programs attempt to abstract away the aspects which are not required
when working. So app developers can build apps in less time and stop worrying over errors
made in writing assembly. They will be able to focus on the project than fussing over
technicalities. Most apps and app developers will shift towards native app development soon. If
you are hiring a mobile app development company, it is a good idea to enquire if they know
about React and how they would go about creating the app. This is because React does help at
programming and can make the entire process more easy and stable.
