How to reuse the React JS component in React Native

Question

I am new to React JS. I am trying to build a web application which should also work on mobile (Android and IOS) so thought of using react js for web application and created few components. so is it possible to use the React js component in React native.

Answer 1

It's good that you plan in advance. 100% matching between JS and Native won't be possible, but with careful planning, you could get to reuse a good deal.

You may want to take a look at React Native Web project that mirrors Native-specific components for Web (e.g. View, Image, Text, etc).

I suggest building a simple prototype in React JS and then in React Native so you get some understanding of the differences in the two ecosystems. Having a hands on experience will prove more beneficial than any writeup :)
