Summary
In this chapter, we learned about React Native’s built-in components and solutions to handle user gestures. From simple gestures such as single taps to more complex gestures, React Native provides stable solutions to handle gestures. We also had a look at React Native Gesture Handler, which is a great third-party replacement for these built-in solutions.
I would recommend using React Native’s built-in components and solutions for all use cases where you can stick to the standard components. As soon as you start writing your own gesture handling, I would recommend using React Native Gesture Handler.
After Animations and Gesture Handling, we will proceed with another topic, which is very important in terms of performance.
In the next chapter, you will learn what different JavaScript engines are, what options you have in React Native, and what impact the different engines have on performance and other important key metrics.
