Wa Maxay React Native?
React Native waa framework JavaScript ah oo loogu talagalay in lagu dhiso mobile applications (iOS iyo Android) isaga oo la isticmaalayo React , waana mid ka mid ah choices-ka ugu wanaagsan mobile development maanta – especially startups, SMEs, iyo shirkado rabta launch degdeg ah oo cost-effective ah!
.
π Qeexitaan Fudud:
React Native wuxuu kuu oggolaanayaa inaad mobile apps sameyso (sida apps-ka telefoonka) isagoo la isticmaalayo JavaScript iyo React, halkii aad u isticmaali lahayd Swift/Objective-C (iOS) ama Java/Kotlin (Android).
π± Farqiga React vs React Native:
| React (React.js) | React Native |
| Websites (web browsers) | Mobile Apps (iOS & Android) |
| HTML tags: <div>, <h1>, <button> | Native components: <View>, <Text>, <TouchableOpacity> |
| CSS for styling | StyleSheet (JavaScript object) |
| Runs in browser | Runs on phone/tablet |
β¨ Faa’iidooyinka React Native:
1. Write Once, Run Anywhere
- Code hal mar qor
- iOS iyo Android labadaba wuu ku shaqeeyaa
- Waqti iyo lacag badanaa
2. JavaScript Isticmaal
- Luuqad aad horey u taqaan
- Skills React-ka aad u baran kartaa mobile development
- Ma u baahna inaad barato Swift ama Java/Kotlin
3. Hot Reload
- Isbeddelka code-ka si degdeg ah ayaad ku arki kartaa
- Development waa degdeg
- Ma u baahna inaad app-ka dib u compile gareyso
4. Native Performance
- Apps-ka waxay u shaqeeyaan sida native apps
- Ma aha webview (sida Cordova/PhoneGap)
- UI waa smooth iyo degdeg
5. Bulsho Weyn
- Libraries iyo packages badan
- Documentation fiican
- Support online badan
6. Shirkado Waaweyn ayaa Isticmaala
- Facebook, Instagram

π Code Tusaale:
React (Web):
javascript
function App() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<button>Click me</button>
</div>
);
}
React Native (Mobile):
javascript
function App() {
return (
<View>
<Text>Hello World</Text>
<TouchableOpacity>
<Text>Click me</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
);
}
π οΈ Components Muhiim ah:
Web (React):
- <div>, <span>, <p>
- <button>, <input>
- <img>, <a>
Mobile (React Native):
- <View> (sida <div>)
- <Text> (dhammaan qoraalka)
- <Image> (sawirro)
- <TextInput> (gelinta qoraalka)
- <TouchableOpacity> (buttons)
- <ScrollView> (scrolling content)
- <FlatList> (liisaska xogta)
π― Gorgortan (Challenges):
β Cons:
- Native modules qaar waxay u baahan yihiin Swift/Java knowledge
- Apps waa ka weyn web apps file size-ka
- Updates platform-specific ah ayaa ka dhici kara
- Debugging caadiga ah waa ka adag web development
β Pros waa ka badan Cons!
π Bilow Sida:
bash
# Install Expo (fudud bilowga)
npx create-expo-app MyApp
# Ama React Native CLI (control badan)
npx react-native init MyApp
Expo vs React Native CLI:
- Expo – Fudud, degdeg bilow, bilowga u fiican
- React Native CLI – Control badan, native code aad u galeyso
πΌ Shaqo Fursado:
React Native developers waxay helaan:
- Mushahar fiican
- Remote work opportunities
- Demand sare suuqa shaqada
- Skills la isticmaali karo iOS iyo Android labadaba
π Xulashada:
- React.js = Websites & web applications
- React Native = Mobile apps (iOS & Android)
- Labaduba = React fundamentals la wadaaga
Haddii aad si fiican u barato React.js, React Native waa fudud inaad barato!
Ma doonaysaa inaad bilowdo React Native ama ma jiraan su’aalo dheeraad ah?
AO
fundamentals kiisa
Waa kuwan fundamentals-ka React Native ee muhiimka ah:
1. Core Components (Qaybaha Aasaasiga ah)
Kuwani waa components-ka aad ugu isticmaali doonto:
View
- Sida <div> web-ka
- Container ugu wanaagsan
javascript
<View style={{flex: 1, backgroundColor: ‘blue’}}>
{/* Content halkan */}
</View>
Text
- DHAMMAAN qoraalka waa inuu ku jiraa <Text>
- Ma aha sida web-ka oo qoraal si toos ah loogu qori karo
javascript
<Text>Halkan waa qoraal</Text>
<Text style={{fontSize: 20, color: ‘red’}}>Qoraal weyn</Text>
Image
- Sawirrada soo bandhigida
javascript
<Image
source={{uri: ‘https://example.com/photo.jpg’}}
style={{width: 100, height: 100}}
/>
// Ama sawir local
<Image source={require(‘./assets/photo.jpg’)} />
ScrollView
- Content dheer oo scroll la gareyn karo
javascript
<ScrollView>
<Text>Content badan…</Text>
<Text>Kor iyo hoos u scroll</Text>
</ScrollView>
TextInput
- User-ka wax gelinta
javascript
<TextInput
placeholder=”Magacaaga geli”
value={text}
onChangeText={setText}
style={{borderWidth: 1, padding: 10}}
/>
TouchableOpacity / Pressable
- Buttons iyo wax la riixo
javascript
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => alert(‘La riixay!’)}>
<Text>Riix</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
FlatList
- Liisas dheer oo performance fiican leh
javascript
<FlatList
data={items}
renderItem={({item}) => <Text>{item.name}</Text>}
keyExtractor={item => item.id}
/>
2. Styling (StyleSheet)
React Native waxay isticmaashaa JavaScript objects, ma aha CSS:
javascript
import { StyleSheet } from ‘react-native’;
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
backgroundColor: ‘#fff’,
alignItems: ‘center’,
justifyContent: ‘center’,
},
text: {
fontSize: 20,
color: ‘blue’,
marginTop: 10,
}
});
// Isticmaal:
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={styles.text}>Hello</Text>
</View>
Farqiga CSS:
- backgroundColor (ma aha background-color)
- marginTop (ma aha margin-top)
- camelCase, ma aha kebab-case
3. Flexbox Layout
React Native waxay isticmaashaa Flexbox dhammaan layout-ka:
javascript
<View style={{
flex: 1,
flexDirection: ‘column’, // ama ‘row’
justifyContent: ‘center’, // vertical alignment
alignItems: ‘center’, // horizontal alignment
}}>
<Text>Center</Text>
</View>
Properties muhiim ah:
- flex – qaybta qaaday
- flexDirection – ‘row’ ama ‘column’
- justifyContent – main axis alignment
- alignItems – cross axis alignment
- flexWrap – wrap content
4. Props & State
Waa sida React.js:
javascript
// Props
function Welcome(props) {
return <Text>Salam {props.name}!</Text>;
}
// State
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
<Text>Clicks: {count}</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
5. Hooks – React Native Specific
Dimensions – Screen size hel
javascript
import { Dimensions } from ‘react-native’;
const windowWidth = Dimensions.get(‘window’).width;
const windowHeight = Dimensions.get(‘window’).height;
Platform – OS kala saar
javascript
import { Platform } from ‘react-native’;
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
marginTop: Platform.OS === ‘ios’ ? 20 : 0,
}
});
// Ama
Platform.select({
ios: { marginTop: 20 },
android: { marginTop: 0 },
});
useEffect – Side effects
javascript
useEffect(() => {
// API call, timers, iwm
fetchData();
}, []);
6. Navigation
React Navigation library-ga isticmaal:
javascript
import { NavigationContainer } from ‘@react-navigation/native’;
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from ‘@react-navigation/native-stack’;
const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();
function App() {
return (
<NavigationContainer>
<Stack.Navigator>
<Stack.Screen name=”Home” component={HomeScreen} />
<Stack.Screen name=”Details” component={DetailsScreen} />
</Stack.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
);
}
// Navigate
navigation.navigate(‘Details’);
7. Handling User Input
javascript
const [text, setText] = useState(”);
<TextInput
value={text}
onChangeText={setText}
placeholder=”Type here”
/>
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => console.log(text)}>
<Text>Submit</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
8. Lists – FlatList vs ScrollView
ScrollView – Items yar:
javascript
<ScrollView>
{data.map(item => <Text key={item.id}>{item.name}</Text>)}
</ScrollView>
FlatList – Lists dheer (performance fiican):
javascript
<FlatList
data={data}
keyExtractor={item => item.id}
renderItem={({item}) => <Text>{item.name}</Text>}
/>
9. ActivityIndicator – Loading
javascript
<ActivityIndicator size=”large” color=”#0000ff” />
10. Modal
javascript
const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false);
<Modal
visible={visible}
animationType=”slide”
onRequestClose={() => setVisible(false)}
>
<View>
<Text>Modal Content</Text>
</View>
</Modal>
11. Alert
javascript
import { Alert } from ‘react-native’;
Alert.alert(
‘Title’,
‘Message here’,
[
{text: ‘Cancel’, style: ‘cancel’},
{text: ‘OK’, onPress: () => console.log(‘OK’)}
]
);
12. SafeAreaView
iPhone X iyo kuwii ka dambeeyay (notch protection):
javascript
import { SafeAreaView } from ‘react-native’;
<SafeAreaView style={{flex: 1}}>
{/* Content halkan */}
</SafeAreaView>
13. KeyboardAvoidingView
Keyboard marka soo baxo content u rogso:
javascript
<KeyboardAvoidingView
behavior={Platform.OS === ‘ios’ ? ‘padding’ : ‘height’}
style={{flex: 1}}
>
<TextInput />
</KeyboardAvoidingView>
π― App Structure Caadi ah:
javascript
import React, { useState } from ‘react’;
import {
View,
Text,
TextInput,
TouchableOpacity,
StyleSheet
} from ‘react-native’;
export default function App() {
const [name, setName] = useState(”);
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={styles.title}>Soo dhawoow!</Text>
<TextInput
style={styles.input}
placeholder=”Magacaaga geli”
value={name}
onChangeText={setName}
/>
<TouchableOpacity
style={styles.button}
onPress={() => alert(`Salam ${name}!`)}
>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>Submit</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: ‘center’,
alignItems: ‘center’,
padding: 20,
},
title: {
fontSize: 24,
fontWeight: ‘bold’,
marginBottom: 20,
},
input: {
width: ‘100%’,
borderWidth: 1,
borderColor: ‘#ccc’,
padding: 10,
borderRadius: 5,
marginBottom: 20,
},
button: {
backgroundColor: ‘#007AFF’,
padding: 15,
borderRadius: 5,
width: ‘100%’,
alignItems: ‘center’,
},
buttonText: {
color: ‘white’,
fontSize: 16,
fontWeight: ‘bold’,
},
});
