See the official React Native website for an introduction to React Native.
React Native is a framework developed by Meta that enables you to build world-class application experiences on native platforms using a consistent developer experience based on JavaScript and React. The focus of React Native is on developer efficiency across all the platforms you care about - learn once, write anywhere.
This repository adds support for the Windows 10 SDK, which allows you to build apps for all devices supported by Windows 10 including PCs, tablets, 2-in-1s, Xbox, Mixed reality devices etc.
Visit the official React Native for Windows + macOS website to learn more.
Check out our blog if you'd like to stay up to date on the status of React Native for Windows and check out current and past roadmaps.
Fabric is the new rendering system for React Native, designed to share more rendering logic cross-platform. RNW's existing Paper renderer is built on UWP XAML, dropping down into native Composition as need be; the new RNW Fabric renderer targets Composition from the start but has the ability to host islands of XAML for advanced native controls. Apps on the new architecture will be WinAppSDK Win32 by default. For more details on our roadmap to Fabric, check out this pinned issue.
Make sure to also check out the React Native Gallery, our interactive sample experience showing everything you can do with React Native for Windows.
See the Getting Started Guide on our React Native for Windows + macOS website to build your first React Native for Windows app.
You can run React Native Windows apps only on devices supported by the Windows 10 SDK.
For a full and detailed list of the system requirements and how to set up your development platform, see our System Requirements documentation on our website.
