React Native has become one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks for developing awesome apps. The libraries and development tools have been matured gracefully. The community is working hard to develop ecommerce mobile apps with React Native.
Usually, a typical ecommerce website would have three different screens
  • Home page or product page
  • Checkout page
  • Receipt page
React Native was introduced for iOS, but now it is available for Android also. React Native apps work seamlessly for web, iOS and Android platforms. As the developers do not have to code separately for different platforms, it is a trusted choice of several users and developers all over the world.

We’ll show you how to create ecommerce mobile app with React Native.

Prerequisites

Before you read this tutorial, you would need Node.js and npm installed on your system. We will use Expo for faster development. We’ll explain you what Expo is in the later part of the blog.
npm install -g expo-cli

Setting up

Develop iOS and Android would require installation and configuration of Android Studio and Xcode. Expo CLI can be used to set up a development environment on your system and you can begin writing the app code instantly.
Building mobile applications for iOS and Android require installing and configuring Xcode or Android Studio. Expo CLI sets up a development environment on your local machine and you can be writing a React Native app within minutes.
You need to install the Expo client app on your iOS and Android mobile. Connect it with the wireless network just as your computer.

Let’s create a new React Native project:

expo init EcommerceApp
cd EcommerceApp
Install the required packages
In this tutorial, we would use two libraries:
  • react-native-elements : React Native UI elements that are easy to use & fully customizable
  • react-navigation : Community solution to navigation in React Native apps
yarn add react-native-elements
yarn add react-navigation
After the required packages are installed, you need to run npm start to initiate the development server.
