Welcome Thiago! I love React Native :) - haven't had much experience with Flutter, but I hear it's good as well. Good luck learning to surf!

Hello Chris. I'm having a hard time learning react native but I love it so much. I'm really interested in it.

It can be tricky for sure... what are you having the most trouble with?

Thread Thread

The Use of props in multiple pages and the navigation systems. Most tutorials I have on navigation are using a very old version.

Ah yes, that can get tricky. I tend to use Redux (or something else) for that - but yeah, it can be frustrating when tutorials are out of date (libraries move so fast!)

Exactly. I've stopped learning it for a week now because I don't know what to do. So u said redux will solve my props problem right ?

I would actually probably suggest using Context to start - it's built in to react now, and there isn't as much learning curve as redux (learning redux can be really tricky!).

So yeah, I would look into using context to share data across an app.

If you're just talking about launching a new react native screen with props though - then that can be accomplished with react navigation. It sounds like that's what you're having trouble with, but it also may just be worth it for you to get that working first (since you don't have to use anything else to get that working).

I would also suggest looking into the Context API + Hooks useContext().

Really straight forward to get started.
