Wrong place to say this, but I'm asked to work on a React-Native mobile apps, is there a need to mix native code with React, or do I only focus on the part of ReactNative components in the docs?

I do know ReactJs so far what I'm reading is familiar but don't know about mobile apps.

I must give an answer tomorrow morning, and SO will only bring me down if I ask there :)

Side Note: I've read devRantron source code and it taught me Redux in a real life example. But what about mobile apps?
maybe @dfox can share his experience?

I've been working in a react native app for 6 months and never had to write native code.

Almost everything you need is already on npm and just needs a "react-native link" to work.

@gitpush answering your side note, redux is great for your app's data layer.
This mobile app I've been working on is sharing the redux data layer code with a web application, and it's just awesome that I don't have to write that code twice.

@shellbug Great! So no need to dig into native + react combination
Thank you for your feedback, really helpful :)

@gitpush did you get anywhere with this? I keep seeing you complaining about gradle and xcode...

@shellbug I was able to create a simple hello world app for iOS and for now all went good.
The client didn't yet give an approval about the proposal but manager was kind enough to tell to start training about React ever since negotiation started (4 months ago)
So I went with ReactJs and when I posted this rant I was about to start with ReactNative and luckily not much of a difference and the idea of the app doesn't seem to require native code

I appreciate checking up on the progress it feels good to have attention :)

@gitpush nice. Hit me up if you need help.

@shellbug Thanks man I sure will, thank you so much for your help :D
