In this blog we will learn how to create a react native app

Step 1: Creating a new application

  • Make a folder with any name and open it in VS Code

  • In my case i have created the folder React Native

  • Run the following commands

  •   npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init AwesomeProject_01
    
  • wait some time and it will initialise a project name AwesomeProject_01

  • Open the developer options in your phone and set USB debugging and enable file transfer by default

  • Connect your Device and run the command

  •   adb devices
    

Step 2: Start Metro

  • After successfully executing the above commands open the AwesomeProject_01 folder in VS Code

  • And run the following command

  •   npm start
    

This command will start metro which is the JavaScript build tool for React Native.

Step 3: Start your application

npx react-native run-android

  • If everything is set up correctly, you should see your app running in mobile shortly.

Step 4: Modifying your app

paste the code in your App.tsx file

import React from "react";

import {
  View, 
  Text,
  SafeAreaView,

} from "react-native"

function App(){
  return(
      <SafeAreaView>
        <View>
          <Text> Hello World! </Text>
        </View>
      </SafeAreaView>
  )
}

export default App;
  • You should get the below view in Your Phone

Congrats , Now Your App is now Running .
