A React State of Mind (State of JavaScript Survey 2018)
JavaScript is developing at such a rapid pace. It’s no wonder the State of JavaScript survey is something we wait for each year to see exactly what state of mind developers are in.

That’s why instead of building these fairly popular components from scratch, you can use React Native UI libraries.

User interface built with React is a sum of components properly working together. Most of the components are affected by props passed by parent and higher order components, internal state modifications, event handlers, conditional rendering. If you want to be confident that your application will do the job in the real world, it’s good to start checking all of these factors in isolation. That’s what unit testing is all about.
