React Native Guidelines

Best practices for React Native and Expo development, focusing on performance, architecture, and platform-specific patterns.

When to Use

• Building React Native or Expo apps
• Optimizing mobile performance
• Implementing animations or gestures
• Working with native modules or platform APIs

Rules by Priority

1. Performance (CRITICAL)

Use FlashList instead of FlatList:

// ❌ BAD - FlatList
import { FlatList } from 'react-native'
