React Native Development concepts - Core components

React Native provides a number of built-in Core Components ready for use in our app.

Basic Components

Most apps will end up using one of these basic components.

Text A component for displaying text.

Image A component for displaying images.

TextInput A component for inputting text into the app via a keyboard.

ScrollView Provides a scrolling container that can host multiple components and views.
