React Native is being used worldwide by the developers for writing real, natively rendering mobile applications which are supported both on IOS and Android.

React Native is based on React. React is basically a JavaScript Library introduced by Facebook which is used for building user interfaces.

The basic difference between React and React Native is that React targets browsers while on the other hand React Native targets mobile platforms.

React Native is now being used to develop mobile applications that look and feel truly “Native” and is being loved by the developers because it has all the comforts of a JavaScript library that developers are already familiar with.

The thing that attracted the developers the most is the ability of React Native to make the simultaneous development for both iOS and android easy. The written code can be shared between platforms.

A hybrid of JavaScript and XML-Esque markup (JSX) is used to write React Native applications. The same hybrid is used to write React applications for the Web. The native rendering APIs in Objective-C (for iOS) or Java (for Android) are invoked by React Native.

The real mobile UI components will be used to render your application instead of web views. JavaScript interfaces are also being exposed by React Native for platform APIs so that platform features like phone cameras and user’s location can be accessed by React Native.

React Native has the ability to adapt to changes and expand to future platforms. It currently supports both iOS and android. The success of React Native is increasing every year and we are listing some of the most amazing and top-rated React Native apps of 2021.

Coinbase Pro

Coinbase Pro is a trading platform that is one of the fastest and most trusted by customers for the trading of cryptocurrencies.

Nowadays, people are more inclined towards modernization due to which they find the idea of decentralized currency appealing. Therefore, people have started investing in cryptocurrency which makes apps and platforms like Coinbase Pro very important and useful.

The app is built for advanced crypto traders, and it has all the necessary information and tools to trade on the go. Some of the main features it provides its users are:

Real-time candles, depth chart, order book

2. Advanced order form

3. Orders and portfolio overview

4. Native currency and crypto deposits/withdrawals

To make the app more efficient, the trading takes place very fast. The users can make a trade-in in seconds. It is one of the basic requirements because prices fluctuate a lot, and a little delay can cause a huge loss.

The feature of React Native called Fast Refresh is also used to get instant feedback for any changes in the React Components.

Coinbase offers a very reasonable fee structure. Fees range from 0–0.5% depending on the user’s trading volume and order type. The reasonable pricing has given them a boost in the competitive market.

Most of the coins that are traded are registered on Coinbase Pro and the users can buy and sell those cryptocurrencies through Coinbase pro.

Coinbase Pro also supports crypto to native currency trading pairs in some countries such as United States (USD), European Union (EUR), and United Kingdom (GBP). They also support crypto-to-crypto trading in 100+ countries.

The main purpose of shifting the app to React Native was the concept of Components in React and React Native.

Before doing so, they had to do a lot of code duplication for Android and iOS, and it was hard to maintain parity between the Android and iOS apps. React Native helped them to re-use the components and their business logic to ensure behavioral consistency between their apps.

The components were created at the very start of the project life cycle and then reused afterward whenever needed. This also helped in the development process as the engineers could use those components in parallel at the same time while developing the app.

Since the app works in more than 100 countries all over the world and deals with finances, it needs to be very secure.

React Native’s reliability, performance and security features are an answer to that and because of using React Native, Coinbase pro is able to maintain optimized, secure, and scalable flow across all of its platforms.
