Summary

During the course of this chapter, we learned how to start up a React Native project, building an app which includes basic navigation and handling several user interactions. We saw how to handle persistent data and basic states using the navigation module, so we could transition through the screens in our project.

All these patterns can be used to build lots of simple apps, but in the next chapter, we will dive deeper into more complex navigation patterns and how to communicate and process external data fetched from the internet, which will enable us to structure and prepare our app for growing. On top of that, we will use MobX, a JavaScript library, for state management, which will make our domain data available to all the screens inside our app in a very simple and effective way.
