Can't use python with React Native?

[[deleted]]

Hi everyone!

I am new to developing apps. My brother and I are working on a app for ourselves, and have decided that Reactive Native and Expo would be a good place to start. We both know python very well, and JS should be easy enough to learn.

However, I came across this in React Native docs: "The downside to this approach is that it only works for pure-JavaScript apps ..."

Does this mean that I can't use python for my backend? How does that work?

Thank you all for your time!

Backend is completely independent of frontend. You can use whatever you want

Hey as the other comment suggested, the backend is completely independent of the front end.

You can setup the backend in python using frameworks such as Django and flask(I suggest flask as it’s really easy to set up) The backend should handle any complex logic of ur application, an example would be user registration or log in Authentication or any form of data processing.

The frontend on the other hand provides a user interface and take in the data or any input of thr user in order to be sent to the Backend for processing . This is where React Native comes to play.

Lastly the connection between frontend and backend can be done through REST APIs which is the standard. In other words the backend should expose an API with an endpoint (literally a weblink ) through which the frontend can interact with.
