My React Native Practices

This isn't so much "Best" practices, but rather "My" practices I try to follow.

Build & Deploy

• Setup CodePush to deploy the app
• Use Fastlane to build the project and deploy as-needed
• Use BitRise as CI as CI service, it has great mobile support
• I'm Working on creating RN-specific actions for Fastlane

Structure & Syntax

• index.ios.js and index.android.js are thin loaders to /app/index.js
• All JS and static assets are in /app folder
• Use a consistent Javascript Syntax, preferrably ES2015
• Use a single JS code-base for both Android & iOS

Components

• react-native-flux-route for defining "pages", flow and transitions
• react-native-vector-icons Icons for all your needs.
• redux Implements the redux pattern
• redux-actions Flux Standard Action syntax sugar
• redux-storage Persistent local storage

Dependencies

• Avoid using dependencies that are not supported for both platforms
• Use dependencies that support React Native Package Manager, or make PR if they don't.

@skierkowski Do you use a specific action for deploying to codepush via fastlane?
