<Text>{'\u20AF'}</Text>To Make a React Native App
Getting started with React Native will help you to know more about the way you can make a React Native project. We are going to use react native command line interface to make our React Native App.
If you have previously installed a global react-native-cli package, please remove it as it may cause unexpected issues:
npm uninstall -g react-native-cli @react-native-community/cliRun the following commands to create a new React Native project
npx react-native init ProjectNameIf you want to start a new project with a specific React Native version, you can use the --version argument:
npx react-native init ProjectName --version X.XX.XNote If the above command is failing, you may have old version of react-native or react-native-cli installed globally on your pc. Try uninstalling the cli and run the cli using npx.
This will make a project structure with an index file named App.js in your project directory.
Code
Open App.js in any code editor and replace the code with the following code
App.js
// How to use Currency Symbols in React Native
// https://aboutreact.com/react-native-currency-symbols/
// import React in our code
import React from 'react';
// import all the components we are going to use
import {
