Core Components

Core components are the essential building blocks provided by React Native to create a user interface for mobile applications. They are platform-agnostic, meaning they work across both iOS and Android devices. Some of the common core components include:

• View is a fundamental component for constructing the user interface. It is equivalent to a div in HTML and can be used as a container for other components.
• Text is used to display text content in your app. It is similar to the p or span elements in HTML.
• TextInput is a basic input field that allows users to type text into your app. It is similar to the input element in HTML.
• TouchableOpacity is a wrapper for making elements like View and Text respond properly to touch events. It provides feedback by reducing the opacity of the wrapped component when pressed.
• ScrollView is a scrollable container that allows users to scroll through its content. It is useful when you have content that exceeds the available screen size.
• FlatList is used to render a list of items using a performant approach. It only renders items that are currently visible on the screen and removes others to save memory.
