react-native-tech_stack

This project is based on the Udemy tutorial hosted by Stephen Grider, The Complete React Native and Redux Course. My focus in on the Android platform.

Course description and notes

The particular lesson covers REDUX. The general flow of Redux is a Store houses the REDUCER and STATE. ACTIONS interact specifically with the Reducer and it specifically interacts with the State. It only goes in one direction.

ACTION -> [ REDUCER -> STATE ] STORE

Action - An object that tells the reducer how to change its data.
Reducer - A function that returns some data.
State - Data for our app to use.
Store - An object that holds the application's data.

Helpful tool: https://stephengrider.github.io/JSPlaygrounds/

Nothing happens with the ACTION until you DISPATCH it to the store. Dispatching will invoke the REDUCER.
In the REDUCER we do not mutate our state, instead we return a completely new object.

Setup the project

react-native init tech_stack
npm install --save redux react-redux eslint-config-rallycoding

Configure .eslintrc

{
    "extends": "rallycoding"
}

Run android emulator

cd /usr/local/share/android-sdk/tools/
emulator @Pixel_API_26

or

cd $(dirname $(which emulator)) && emulator @Pixel_API_26

Start React Native packager and compile android

react-native start --port=8082 (optional)
react-native run-android

Debugging app on emulator

Ctrl + M only works when the app is in view. Ctrl + M does something different when outside the app.
