React Native - Under The Bridge

reactweek.nyc @reactweek

In this talk, I am going to reveal that there is no magic in React Native. There is a real smart mechanism that lets the JS code communicate with the Native code (and vice-versa). A major part of this mechanism is The Bridge which is written in C++ (wait..what??) and mapping between all your app modules and even lets you create custom ones of your own! If you are a curious React developer who believes that knowing the internals of a library makes you a better developer, join me to the journey Under The Bridge.

Chen has been a software developer for over 12 years and he’s currently a fullstack freelancer. He worked with over 10 clients in the past year using ReactJS and React Native (including migrating a company from Angular to React). In the last year he founded and is currently hosting one of the most popular podcast in Israel and produced over 20 episodes about React, Node.js, Deep Learning and Kubernetes to name a few. He really enjoys giving lectures and to make complex technical subjects accessible to all.
