React Native Design
Master React Native styling patterns, React Navigation, and Reanimated 3 to build performant, cross-platform mobile applications with native-quality user experiences.
When to Use This Skill
- Building cross-platform mobile apps with React Native
- Implementing navigation with React Navigation 6+
- Creating performant animations with Reanimated 3
- Styling components with StyleSheet and styled-components
- Building responsive layouts for different screen sizes
- Implementing platform-specific designs (iOS/Android)
- Creating gesture-driven interactions with Gesture Handler
- Optimizing React Native performance

Quick Start Component
import React from 'react';
import {
View,
Text,
StyleSheet,
Pressable,
Image,
} from 'react-native';
import Animated, {
useSharedValue,
useAnimatedStyle,
withSpring,
} from 'react-native-reanimated';
interface ItemCardProps {
title: string;
subtitle: string;
imageUrl: string;
onPress: () => void;
}
const AnimatedPressable = Animated.createAnimatedComponent(Pressable);
export function ItemCard({ title, subtitle, imageUrl, onPress }: ItemCardProps) {
const scale = useSharedValue(1);
const animatedStyle = useAnimatedStyle(() => ({
transform: [{ scale: scale.value }],
}));
return (
<AnimatedPressable
style={[styles.card, animatedStyle]}
onPress={onPress}
onPressIn={() => { scale.value = withSpring(0.97); }}
onPressOut={() => { scale.value = withSpring(1); }}
>
<Image source={{ uri: imageUrl }} style={styles.image} />
<View style={styles.content}>
<Text style={styles.title} numberOfLines={1}>
{title}
</Text>
<Text style={styles.subtitle} numberOfLines={2}>
{subtitle}
</Text>
</View>
</AnimatedPressable>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
card: {
backgroundColor: '#ffffff',
borderRadius: 16,
overflow: 'hidden',
shadowColor: '#000',
shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 2 },
shadowOpacity: 0.1,
shadowRadius: 8,
elevation: 4,
},
image: {
width: '100%',
height: 160,
backgroundColor: '#f3f4f6',
},
content: {
padding: 16,
gap: 4,
},
title: {
fontSize: 18,
fontWeight: '600',
color: '#1f2937',
},
subtitle: {
fontSize: 14,
color: '#6b7280',
lineHeight: 20,
},
});
Best Practices
- Use TypeScript: Define navigation and prop types for type safety
- Memoize Components: Use
React.memoanduseCallbackto prevent unnecessary rerenders - Run Animations on UI Thread: Use Reanimated worklets for 60fps animations
- Avoid Inline Styles: Use StyleSheet.create for performance
- Handle Safe Areas: Use
SafeAreaVieworuseSafeAreaInsets - Test on Real Devices: Simulator/emulator performance differs from real devices
- Use FlatList for Lists: Never use ScrollView with map for long lists
- Platform-Specific Code: Use Platform.select for iOS/Android differences
Common Issues
- Gesture Conflicts: Wrap gestures with
GestureDetectorand usesimultaneousHandlers - Navigation Type Errors: Define
ParamListtypes for all navigators - Animation Jank: Move animations to UI thread with
runOnUIworklets - Memory Leaks: Cancel animations and cleanup in useEffect
- Font Loading: Use
expo-fontorreact-native-assetfor custom fonts - Safe Area Issues: Test on notched devices (iPhone, Android with cutouts)
