Description

The goal of this tutorial is to walk the audience through the process than being comprehensive.

Example: You can show them how to style a list to make it look like a design mockup and then link to the layout page for more information—but you won’t show them how to use every layout option!

Learning outline

  • Make a Form
    • TextInput
    • Intro “controlled components” (state managed values)
    • Button
    • ScrollView
    • List View? (Some reckoning of the Lists of RN would be great)
  • Add some styling
  • Managing state (we cover this in the React Intro, but the app should also have some state management)
  • Helpful built-in tools for working with RN
  • Fast Refresh
  • Flipper
  • Log Box
  • A launch screen and icons

Nice to haves

  • Images
  • Light animation
  • Including fonts
  • Responsive Design—for apps!
  • How to ship it

Format

The Outline should be split into consumable chunks, each feature the following format:

  • Intro text: “What you will learn”
  • Content + examples
  • Recap
  • Prompt to move to next page
