Tag: React native config windows

There isn’t any official support for desktop applications in React Native , at least as of January 2018. There are, however, various experimental forks of React Native for desktop platforms such as react-native-windows for Univeral Windows Platform, react-native-macos for Mac and react-native-desktop for Linux.

For example, on a x86 computer, native code is x86 machine code. But people also sometimes call C or C++ code “native code”, because they usually compile to x86 machine code. While for example something like Python or C#, which compile to code for a virtual machine, are not native code .

Yes using C# and C++ for your product is very common and a good idea . Sometimes you can use managed C++, in which case you can use your managed C++ module just like any other . NET module.

React Native for Windows supports writing native code in both C++ and C# , but there are trade-offs with each language. The choice of language can impact the compatibility, developer experience, and performance of your project.
