Understand React Native File Structure.

Understand React Native File Structure.

  • __test__/ - directory that contains test files for the components, screens, and other modules in the app.

  • android/ - a directory that contains the Android-specific code and configuration files.

  • ios/ - a directory that contains the iOS-specific code and configuration files.

  • node_modules/ - a directory that contains all the libraries and tools required by the project.

  • .gitignore - a file that lists files and directories that Git should ignore when you make commits to your code repository.

  • package.json - a configuration file that lists the dependencies of the project, as well as scripts for building and running the app. The node_modules folder is generated with this file.

  • .eslintrc - a file that includes rules for coding style, as well as warnings and errors for specific issues. You can ensure that your code adheres to a consistent coding style and reduces the likelihood of bugs and other issues in your code.

  • .prettierrc - a file that includes rules for code formatting, such as line length, indentation, and bracket spacing.

  • .watchmanconfig - a configuration file for Watchman, a file watching service used by React Native to detect changes in the file system and trigger rebuilds of the app. Watchman is used by React Native to monitor changes in the file system and trigger builds of the app when a change is detected.

  • app.json - a configuration file that provides metadata about the app, such as its name, version, and description.

  • App.tsx - the root component of the app, where the UI is defined using components.

  • index.js - the entry point of the app, where the React Native app is created and started.

  • `babel.config.js - a configuration file for Babel, a JavaScript compiler that is used to convert modern JavaScript syntax into code that can be run in older platforms or environments.

  • `metro.config.js` - a configuration file for Metro, a JavaScript bundler that is used to package the source code for the app into a single file that can be executed on different platforms, such as iOS and Android.
