Quick Summary
When you’re developing apps with React, component libraries are a great way to 
save yourself from reinventing the wheel. You can say goodbye to time-consuming 
tasks, like writing your own dropdown menu or date-picker. Your new job is much 
easier – simply pick a component that fits your needs and implement it in your 
app structure. Instead of building every small piece of functionality from scratch, 
you now only need to focus on what differentiates your application from all the 
other applications out there.

Best React Native component libraries of the year
NativeBase – NativeBase is a stand-
alone and open-source framework for 
web, Android, and iOS apps using React 
Native. It helps developers to build 
cross-platform apps using JavaScript. 
Using a native approach, NativeBase 
allows developers to write code once 
and run it on both platforms without 
rewriting the code or having to learn 
native languages for both such as Java 
or ObjC
3
Teaset – Teaset is a UI library featuring pure Javascript(ES6) components for 
content display and action control of pages. The idea of Teaset was born out 
of the complexity and unnecessary size of the present component libraries. 
Teaset provides an alternative approach to designing UI components by 
dividing them into the data layer and interface layer.
Material Kit React Native – Material Kit is a collection of React Native 
components that implements the material design system for Android. The 
library, which is not affiliated with Google, is community-driven and can be 
found on GitHub. It includes several components including buttons, cards, 
toggles, switches, spinners, and tabs. In total about 300 elements are 
available. A starter kit provides example pages that showcase different 
layouts of the components.

React Native Elements: React Native Elements is a toolkit of 60+ React 
components for React Native by a group of engineers at Automattic (makers 
of WordPress.com and WooCommerce). Starting with their work on the 
Admin Dashboard for WordPress.com, the team has collected a set of great 
open-source React Native UI components that provide components that are 
both high-quality and full-featured. On Github as an independent repository, 
this set of packages includes both Android and iOS UI elements as well as 
Material UI primitives.
Lottie for React Native: Lottie is a library for iOS and Android offering a 
simple way to add animations to your apps. It works by exporting animation 
data in JSON format from an After Effects extension, BodyMovin. This 
extension is bundled with a JS player to render animations on the web. 
BodyMovin allows you to create animations in Adobe After Effects and export 
them ready for use on your app.
5
Ignite CLI: With Ignite CLI, React Native developers don’t have to spend hours 
constructing an initial project scaffold. The instructions and boilerplate provided 
by the open-source project are enough to get a user started. And the best part 
is, it’s free. If you want to get a full-fledged environment for React Native 
application development, you can use Ignite CLI. It’s a great React Native starter 
kit with an excellent feature set.
React Native Mapview: React Native Mapview is one of the React Native 
component libraries that offers map components for Android and iOS. It is a 
common interface from where you can use regular features on any map such as 
markers and polygons. The Mapview component has been constructed in such a 
way that it requires enabling Google Maps API in Google Console.
6
React Native Gifted Chat: React Native Gifted Chat is a React Native wrapper for 
GiftedChat (Github), which is an open-source, cross-platform message and chat 
UI framework. React Native Gifted Chat Wrapper helps you set up a chat for 
React Native using CSS and JavaScript. Instead of building with Xcode in 
Objective C, you can use it within your React Native apps. If you don’t have 
knowledge of Objective C, then it will be beneficial for you.
React Native UI Kitten: React Native UI Kitten is one of the React Native 
component libraries that can be used as a starter kit for mobile apps for any 
domain, including eCommerce. The project has over a thousand stars on GitHub 
and offers a set of about 20 general-purpose components styled in the same 
way to take care of visual appearance.
7
React Native Paper: React Native Paper is another free and open-source library 
for building React native apps. It has all the major components, and these 
components adhere to Google’s Material design standards. It is a great tool for 
learning and prototyping since you don’t have to start from scratch and can 
quickly make something usable. These Material components that come with 
React Native Paper are cross-platform and work on both web and mobile 
devices. They take care of most details, including animations, accessibility, and 
UI logic.
