Answer 1

Providing an update on this issue regarding starter react native templates. Facebook has released create-react-native-app sometime ago and this is one of the best and simplistic starter kits you can use to begin development.

Link - https://github.com/react-community/create-react-native-app

Answer 2

If you have already worked on JavaScript then i dont think you will be having tough time going through react native,but if you are new to java script and app development i would suggest you go through Facebook's React Native official documentation they have started from basics and almost included everything which you will be needing for developing a native Mobile app(Android/iOS).

Here's the link

• Facebook official documentation
• Tutorial's Point
• For iOS

Answer 3

I found the links from the stackoverflow react-native tag description amazingly useful:

• Getting started: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html

• Short Videos: https://egghead.io/lessons/react-react-native-up-and-running?series=react-native-fundamentals

• And probably the most useful one that I found: http://www.reactnativeexpress.com/

I wish I had found the reactnativeexpress site earlier.

For practice you can start with:

• https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/thinking-in-react.html and transform it into a react-native app.

For folder structures:

• you can take a look at one generated with a boilerplate like Ignite: https://github.com/infinitered/ignite

...And a probably the best paid course: https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-react-native-and-redux-course/
