In Expo and React Native, components are translated to native components for the platform it’s running on. To help you get started, React Native provides a set of ready-to-use components for your app. These components are called “core components” and most of them have built-in Android and iOS implementations.
You can import these components from the react-native package. In the previous lesson, we already imported the View and Text core components. During this lesson, we will dig deeper in View, Text, Image, Button, TextInput, and ScrollView. These components are essential for every Expo and React Native apps.
We are covering some of the most common core components in this lesson. You can find the complete list of core components in the Expo API docs and React Native component docs.
