Introduction to React-Native and Apollo-Client

Using Github's GraphQL API as a backend, we'll be working on a small client app in ⚛️ React-Native and 🚀 Apollo-Client. This app will serve as a playground, and help us cover these topics:

• getting started with react-native: using expo vs. building projects with native code
• handling routing via react-navigation
• setting up apollo-client and executing some basic operations (queries, mutations)
• offline support
• styling using styled-components
