give us exactly that status bar height.
1,271.82
2.67
And now we have a to do app that doesn't look half bad.
1,274.49
3.14
Cool.
1,277.63
0.5
So there's actually this thing called style sheet
1,278.13
2.27
which is part of React Native which has some optimizations for these styles.
1,280.4
5.91
And so we talked about earlier how the way that your JavaScript communicates
1,286.31
4.11
with the UI throughout is through this bridge.
1,290.42
3.65
And so that means every single time you want a view with the style
1,294.07
3.46
you need to send those style attributes over the bridge.
1,297.53
2.7
There's actually a way that you can optimize this.
1,300.23
2.13
And so the Facebook team created this thing called
1,302.36
2.083
style sheet which does this for you.
1,304.443
1.967
So it's basically the same thing as creating objects for style,
1,306.41
2.67
but as an additional optimization that rather than sending this style object
1,309.08
5.04
over the bridge we can only send IDs.
1,314.12
2.55
And so say we have these objects, rather than passing the full object
1,316.67
6.78
every time you can just say, hey this object,
1,323.45
1.925
let's assign it this arbitrary ID of one.
1,325.375
2.215
And so every time we say, hey this should have a style of one,
1,327.59
4.72
the UI thread will know, oh, I know exactly what style that means.
1,332.31
4.11
And so to do that, all we have to do is import this thing called style sheet
1,336.42
6.26
from React Native and we can do this.
1,342.68
1.77
And so we're saying we're declaring our styles as a constant outside of our app
1,351.83
5.42
and we're saying, hey create this style sheet
1,357.25
2.64
and we're going to pass into you an object where the keys map
1,359.89
2.55
with how we're going to use this later.
1,362.44
3.676
And so we can go ahead and abstract this out.
1,366.116
1.874
And so we can say, this here we're actually
1,367.99
4.38
going to call our to do container.
1,372.37
3.995
And our to do container will just say, all right flex in the row direction
1,380.085
7.165
and align your items to be centered.
1,387.25
2.922
And then down here for style we just say,
1,390.172
1.708
oh, we want to use styles.todocontainer.
1,391.88
1.73
And let's actually lowercase this for convention.
1,397.42
5.04
And as you can see those styles still get applied.
1,402.46
3.86
And why else might this pattern be good?
1,406.32
3.34
Does anybody see something better about this pattern?
1,409.66
2.37
AUDIENCE: It's reusable.
1,415.229
1.831
SPEAKER 1: Yeah exactly, it's reusable.
1,417.06
3.21
And so say we wanted to have something else that
1,420.27
2.94
had very similar styles to to do container
1,423.21
5.49
we can actually use that again.
1,428.7
1.299
And then if we wanted to change both of them at the same time
1,429.999
2.541
we could do it by using this abstracted out object.
1,432.54
2.94
And so let's do the app container and set that equal to this object.
1,435.48
7.66
And then down here for this view let's do styles.appcontainer.
1,451.27
3.75
And so there's actually an even better reason to do this
1,458.61
4.99
and it's because every single time we rendered,
1,463.6
2.29
we used to be building a new style object to pass.
1,465.89
2.87
And now we're just using that same reference
1,468.76
2.13
to that object that we created outside of this component.
1,470.89
3.81
And so that's just an additional optimization that, using this pattern,
1,474.7
4.99
creating the styles outside of the component allows us to do.
1,479.69
3.14
Cool.
1,485.56
2.19
Any questions on styles and styling?
1,487.75
3.68
Great.
1,491.43
0.5
So let's talk about event handling.
1,494.69
2.53
So unlike Web not every component has every single interaction.
1,497.22
3.71
And so in Web, if we had a div, we can assign an onClick to that div
1,500.93
3.24
or if we add a list item or a list, anything we can assign an onClick to.
1,504.17
4.23
But unlike Web there are only a few touchable components in React Native
1,508.4
3.48
and those are a button, which we've used before.
1,511.88
3.469
These three things called touchable opacity, touchable highlight
1,515.349
2.666
and touchable without feedback, which are just
1,518.015
4.436
three basic components that have slightly different reactions when
1,522.451
2.749
you touch them.
1,525.2
1.292
An then lastly, this thing called touchable native feedback
1,526.492
2.458
which is this native component that you can only use on Android.
1,528.95
4.09
And so in Web, when you had an event handler,
1,536.33
3.36
that handler would receive that event as an argument.
1,539.69
2.87
But that's not necessarily true for all React Native handlers.
1,542.56
5.88
And so in order just to find out how those work
1,548.44
2.57
you basically have to consult the documentation.
1,551.01
2.57
The documentation for React Native is really good.
1,553.58
2.14
I recommend that you peruse them just to see
1,555.72
2.03
what components are available to you and those component APIs.
1,557.75
3.92
And basically most of the stuff that you want to do
1,561.67
3.25
is already pre-built for you.
1,564.92
1.742
And so, even though there's no such thing
1,566.662
1.708
as a checkbox component in React Native, there is actually a way to do that.
1,568.37
4.82
And so let's go ahead and add this thing which
1,573.19
2.65
is similar to a checkbox in that it's a Boolean flag
1,575.84
4.47
but it's not really exactly stylistically the same.
1,580.31
3.462
And so let's add this thing called a switch.
1,583.772
1.833
As a switch you'll see what it looks like in a moment
1,589.082
3.428
but it's basically just a Boolean flag that we're going to use in this example
1,592.51
3.487
rather than using a checkbox.
1,595.997
1.208
So before what we had here was an input of type checkbox and instead
1,600.94
4.04
we're going to use a switch.
1,604.98
2.26
And the value of that is going to be whether the props.TODO is checked.
1,607.24
5.21
And so now when we add a TODO we see the switch
1,616.7
2.4
that can be flipped back and forth.
1,619.1
2.41
But if you notice, every time I try to flip it on it
1,621.51
2.81
immediately turns back off.
1,624.32
3.15
Can anybody spot why that's happening?
1,627.47
2.7
So we have this value set to props.TODO checked, and down here do we ever
1,634.97
7.25
update that value?
1,642.22
0.934
No we don't.
1,645.76
0.81
So we have this thing called Toggle TODO which we implemented last week,
1,646.57
3.93
which, given some TODOs ID will flip that Boolean checked flag.
1,650.5
