Create a React Native Mobile App for your WordPress Website

Use the WordPress REST API to create a React Native mobile app (iOS and Android) for your website through Expo workflow.

What you'll learn
Use React Native to create a mobile app
Use Expo to build the app in order to be distributed to App Store and Play Store
Use WordPress built-in REST API to fetch the data from the app
Use React Navigation to create tabs, drawer menus and navigate between pages

Requirements
A laptop and an internet connection
For Windows or Linux users, an iPhone would be needed to test the app on IOS.
If you want to build the app without the need to code, this course has a React Native template that can be used with a WordPress plugin to create the app without coding knowledge.
Javascript basics, preferably ES6 syntax.
React basics are recommended, however I'll try to explain React concepts needed in this course

Description
React Native is an excellent tool for building both android and ios apps with the same codebase. For web developers, it can be even more suitable to build mobile apps as it is mainly based on Javascript. WordPress has also made it easier by providing the built-in REST API.

So if you are having a WordPress website with basic Javascript knowledge and you want to create a mobile app for the website, this course would be for you.

If you have no Javascript knowledge or you don't want to dig much through coding, this course provides a readymade template that you can use along with a WordPress plugin to create your app.
