NativeBase is a sleek, ingenious and dynamic front-end framework created by passionate React Loving team at Geekyants.com to build cross platform Android & iOS mobile apps using ready to use generic components of React Native.
What is really great with NativeBase is that you can use shared UI cross-platform components, which will drastically increase your productivity. When using NativeBase, you can use any native third-party libraries out of the box.

The peer dependencies included from any npm packages does not automatically get installed. Your application will not depend on it explicitly.
react-native linkNote: If you are using react-native version 0.60 or higher you don't need to link any package.
You've successfully setup NativeBase with your React Native app. Your React Native app is now all set to run on iOS and Android simulator.
b. Setup with Expo
Expo helps you make React Native apps with no build configuration. It works on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Refer this link for additional information on Expo
Install NativeBase:
npm install native-base --saveNote
NativeBase uses some custom fonts that can be loaded using Font.loadAsync. Check out the Expo Font documentation.
Install Expo Fonts:
expo install expo-fontApp.js
import React from 'react';
import { AppLoading } from 'expo';
import { Container, Text } from 'native-base';
import * as Font from 'expo-font';
import { Ionicons } from '@expo/vector-icons';
export default class App extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
isReady: false,
};
}
async componentDidMount() {
await Font.loadAsync({
Roboto: require('native-base/Fonts/Roboto.ttf'),
Roboto_medium: require('native-base/Fonts/Roboto_medium.ttf'),
...Ionicons.font,
});
this.setState({ isReady: true });
}
render() {
if (!this.state.isReady) {
return <AppLoading />;
}
return (
<Container>
<Text>Open up App.js to start working on your app!</Text>
</Container>
);
}
}Check out the KitchenSink with Expo for an example of the implementation.

React Native Seed provides you React Native starter kits for your base app with the technologies that you love.
Based on the feedback we received from our users, people had trouble sorting out the right boilerplate for them with the desired technologies and contacted us to enquire. We realized that many people were particular about the technologies they want in the app and that a minimal, neat solution was required to solve this, and hence, React Native Seed.
React Native Seed is for learners and professionals alike, those who want to experiment, learn all aspects and those who already know enough, just want a starter kit to quickly start working on their project.
