React NATIVE

React as a Paradigm

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'

class Title extends Component {
  componentDidMount() { ... }

  render() {
    return (
      <h1>Welcome to {this.props.title}</h1>
    )
  }
}

Title.propTypes = {
  content: PropTypes.string.isRequired
}

export default Title

RN as a Paradigm

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { Text } from 'react-native'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'

class Title extends Component {
  componentDidMount() { ... }

  render() {
    return (
      <Text>Welcome to {this.props.title}</Text>
    )
  }
}

Title.propTypes = {
  content: PropTypes.string.isRequired
}

export default Title
