Hello World
In a traditional webpage, you could easily render Hello World! to the screen by writing some HTML like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello World!</p>
</body>
</html>
In React Native, there is no DOM or browser, so you have to render things to the screen from a mobile API that React Native provides. For example, instead of using a <p> tag as a wrapper for text like you would on the web, you would use <Text>; instead of <div> container tags, you would use <View>.
import React, { Component } from ‘react’;
import { AppRegistry, View, Text } from ‘react-native’;
class App extends Component {
render () {
return (
<View>
<Text> Hello World! </Text>
</View>
);
}
}
AppRegistry.registerComponent(‘AwesomeProject’, () => App);
To render the code to the screen, instead of opening the page in a browser, you use a special AppRegistry.registerComponent() method provided by React Native to render the app to a mobile device.
