773: React Native with Robin Heinze
Syntax - Tasty Web Development Treats
React Native Styling and Platform Consistency
React Native utilizes its own UI engine called yoga, a variation of CSS flexbox, where each component is passed a style object with no cascading properties. The default flex direction being column in React Native aligns with vertical mobile screens. While React Native styles are used for consistency, Android and iOS styling can differ based on platform UI patterns, requiring conditionals to adhere to platform differences. The platforms follow the defined styles without automatic differentiation. React Native does not use CSS for styling but has its own UI engine, yoga, which is influenced by CSS flexbox with slight variations. When styling components in React Native, the focus is on a declarative approach where each component is assigned a specific style, and nothing is inherited, unlike cascading properties in CSS. While React Native styles are used for consistency, platform differences between Android and iOS may require conditional styling to align with platform-specific UI patterns.
