React native is a react but with some special components like react has divs or fragments similarly react native has view or safeareaview.. and we use properties of components as a props of components.

Component name always starting with capital or uppercase…

<View />, <Text />, <Image/>

Below i describe some basic components..

  1. View : view is a container that supports layout with flexbox, touch and so on .view is same as div..
  2. Text :every applications have text for display…same as React native has Text components which is use for display text in app..
  3. Image: with the help of image components we display images on our react native app..
  4. SafeAreaView: The purpose of SafeAreaView is to render content within the safe area boundaries of a device. It is currently only applicable to iOS based app…. Nowaday, smart phones come with notch….and we use safeareaview for skip that notch.Below, picture shows safearea ..

Example :

import React from ‘react’;Import { Text, View, Image } from ‘react-native’;const ExampleApp = () => {return (<View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: “start” }}><Text>Hello, i m example app</Text><Imagestyle={{Height:200, width:300}} source={{ uri:”https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcSZBPpKvVu9mO0XUGMAZNSJbNQ0sK4ucXjrvg&usqp=CAU”}}/></View>) }export default ExampleApp;
