Recently I’ve been working on a universal Expo app (iOS, Android & web) intended to help my hockey team keep track of our player and game stats, track who’s RSVP’d to our weekly games, and so on. To keep track of all those things, the Expo app communicates with a restful Ruby on Rails API. I decided, for typical reasons which aren’t the subject of this post, to mock that rails API as I test drove the React Native app.
Expo sets you up with a new React Native project that will run natively on Android, iOS, and in the browser with a single codebase. You can also put that same code in an Electron app to get it running as Mac and Windows desktop applications.
