Native Express is a wonderful tool that makes mobile app development faster and easier. It is like a starter kit for React Native and Expo, which comes with all the essential tools and templates. This is especially helpful for web developers who are new to mobile app development. It uses familiar web development patterns and makes the complex parts of React Native simple.
Native Express has many features that make app development easy. It includes prebuilt features like authentication, payments, and push notifications. You also get comprehensive guides, including video tutorials, documentation, and Figma templates for app store assets. There is a supportive community to help you along the way, and the starter kit is fully customizable to fit your specific app needs. Plus, it supports backend integration, payment processing, and submission guides.
Developers love Native Express for its time-saving features and comprehensive support. One app developer, J.C. Yuan, said, "It contains all the fundamentals you need for your app, like analytics, session replay, payment, OAuth, and more. Robin is willing to help with your problems, even via a video call! It''s really helpful and time-saving!" Another web developer transitioning to mobile apps mentioned, "As a web developer building my first app, this starter kit made my life so much easier. It was super easy to set up and understand, saving me countless hours." A React developer also praised Native Express, saying, "Coming from React, the transition to React Native was super smooth thanks to Native Express. The close support from Robin and the discord community makes it even better!".
To start with Native Express, you need to set up your development environment with Node.js, Expo CLI, and React Native CLI. Once set up, you can create a new React Native project, install dependencies, and connect your app with a Node.js backend. Native Express also provides best practices for using React Native starter kits, such as choosing libraries with strong community support, using a feature-based architecture, and implementing secure authentication methods.
