- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- React Native
React Native is a framework for building mobile applications using React and JavaScript. It enables developers to write once and deploy to multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, and the web, while providing a native app-like experience to users.
- Firebase
Firebase offers a comprehensive set of features, including real-time database, authentication, hosting, cloud functions, storage, and more. Firebase provides an easy-to-use interface and allows developers to focus on building features rather than managing infrastructure.
- Templates & Themes
A template or theme refers to a pre-designed layout or structure that provides a basic framework for building a specific type of application or website. It typically includes good design, placeholder content and functional features, allowing developers to customize and fill in the details according to their specific needs.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Expo
An open-source platform for making universal native apps with React. Expo runs on Android, iOS, and the web.
- React Hook Form
React Hook Form is a performant, flexible, and extensible form library for React with easy validation. It reduces re-renders and improves performance by using uncontrolled components and native HTML validation, making form handling simple and efficient.
- Redux
Redux is a state management library for JavaScript apps that provides a predictable and centralized way to manage application state. It enables developers to write actions and reducers that update the state in response to user interactions, server responses, and other events, and can be used with a variety of front-end frameworks and back-end technologies.
- Storybook
Storybook is a tool for developing and testing UI components in isolation. It provides a sandbox environment where you can experiment with different props and states to see how your component responds.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Yup
Yup is a schema builder for runtime value parsing and validation. It provides a declarative way to define validation schemas with support for complex nested objects, array validation, and custom validation rules. Often used with Formik for form validation.
