Components that can be animated using React Native Reanimated library.

Animated Component

Basic building blocks in React Native such as `<View>`, `<Text>`, `<Image>`, `<ScrollView>`, and `<TextInput>`, which map to native UI elements on each platform.

Core Components

An in-app developer menu available in development builds that provides access to debugging and development tools within the app.

Dev Menu

The rendering system in React Native that allows React to communicate with native platform views (host views) instead of web DOM nodes. It bridges JavaScript React code with native UI components via C++ interfaces.

Fabric Renderer

The native platform embedding React Native, such as Android, iOS, macOS, or Windows.

Host Platform

A syntax extension for JavaScript used in React and React Native that looks like XML/HTML but compiles to React element creation calls.

The thread responsible for executing the JavaScript code of the React Native app, where most app logic runs.

JavaScript Thread

Unique identifiers assigned to elements in lists to help React efficiently update and reorder components.

Keys

Props are immutable inputs to components, while state represents mutable data that can change over time and trigger UI updates.

Props and State

The fundamental building blocks of React applications, representing what gets rendered to the UI.

React Elements

References to React components or native elements, used to access or modify them directly, though their use should be limited.

Refs

The thread responsible for handling user interface updates and rendering native views.

UI Thread (Main Thread)

A JavaScript function converted to run on the UI thread, marked with a `worklet` directive, enabling performant animations and interactions.
