CodeCanyon is one of the largest online marketplaces for Ionic templates. No matter what your app's requirements are, there's a good chance that CodeCanyon has a template for it. In this article, I'm going to list 15 outstanding Ionic app templates you should consider using this year.

What Is An Ionic App Template?

Ionic templates work similar to front-end development themes and templates that you might have ran into using other platforms, such as WordPress themes. They consist of a series of files and assets that help to bridge the gap between the framework itself and the finished product that you are seeking.

There are a ton of benefits to using an Ionic App Template, namely:

• starting with a large portion of your project already completed
• documented, professional code
• reduced project cost
• an existing structure to build the remainder of your project on

Pairing these benefits with the already powerful framework provided by Ionic gives developers a huge leg up when it comes to app development. Small development teams and those with limited resources will find them especially helpful.

1. Ionic 3 UI Theme

This template, developed by elite author CreativeForm, is ideal for Ionic developers who want to create beautiful apps but spend less time designing them.

With Ionic, creating a high-performance, cross-platform mobile app is as easy as creating a website. Seasoned web developers or anyone with an intimate knowledge of JavaScript can easily get up and running with Ionic. Its ability to create native apps on Android, iOS, and more with a JS framework and a single codebase make it a breeze to pick up. I assure you, you'll take to it like a fish to water.

Building a feature-rich Ionic app with an elegant user interface, however, can be challenging—even more so if it is to look native on multiple platforms. Fortunately, by using a ready-made Ionic template, you can save substantial amounts of time and effort.

CodeCanyon is one of the largest online marketplaces for Ionic templates. No matter what your app's requirements are, there's a good chance that CodeCanyon has a template for it. In this article, I'm going to list 15 outstanding Ionic app templates you should consider using this year.

What Is an Ionic App Template?

Ionic templates work similar to front-end development themes and templates that you might have run into using other platforms, such as WordPress themes. They consist of a series of files and assets that help to bridge the gap between the framework itself and the finished product that you are seeking.

There are a ton of benefits to using an Ionic app template, namely:

• starting with a large portion of your project already completed
• documented, professional code
• reduced project cost
• an existing structure to build the remainder of your project on

Pairing these benefits with the already powerful framework provided by Ionic gives developers a huge leg up when it comes to app development. Small development teams and those with limited resources will find them especially helpful.

1. Ionic 3 UI Theme

This template, developed by elite author CreativeForm, is ideal for Ionic developers who want to create beautiful apps but spend less time designing them. It offers just one theme that includes over 70 commonly used screens and more than 45 finished layouts ready to use. It also has a well-organized Sass file containing dozens of variables you can change to further customize your app's looks.

2. IonFullApp

IonFullApp, developed by elite author IonicThemes, is a multipurpose app template which comes in three different versions: basic, pro, and elite.

App Templates for Monetization

If you want to make money out of your app, some mobile app templates come with Google AdMob app monetization platform already integrated into them. You can start making money with your app from the time it launches.  

What is Google AdMob?

AdMob is an app monetization platform by Google. Developers have been using AdMob advertising system to monetize their apps while still making them available for free. 

There are many online platforms and networks for hosting mobile ads, but Google AdMob is one of the most popular. 

What Does a Monetization App Template Do?

It comes with built-in AdMob funcitonality that allows you to monetize your app. In this case, you begin making advertising revenue by showing ads on your app. 

Why Should You Use a Monetization App Template?

With a template, you don’t have to start building your app from scratch. You can start from an already built foundation. AdMob is already set up for you. 

Let’s take a brief look at one of most popular ways of monetizing apps: in-app advertising. 

In-App Advertising

Digital advertising is the dominant form of online marketing. Advertisers realize mobile apps are the best way to reach consumers because people spend a lot of time on mobile apps and people prefer free apps. The catch for free apps is ads. Many developers offer their apps for free and utilize in-app advertising as a source of revenue. 

The 7 most common ad formats used in apps include: 

• interstitial ads–also known as full-screen ads,  they display across a screen after app loads or closes or in transition between screens 
• banner ads—these display at the top or bottom of the screen with text and graphics
• native ads—these don’t look like ads, instead they integrate seamlessly into the app and appear as if they are part of the content of the app 
• video ads
• notification ads–deliver ads to the notification area of the user's mobile device
• capture forms–an opt-in form where uses can enter their email addresses for newsleters
• interactive ads 

When you decide to monetize your app by incorporating ads, these are some things you should consider.

• Do the ads enhance or interrupt the experience of your app users? 
• Does including these ads make the user experience more meaningful? 
• If you decide to run ads in your app, how can you make your users' experiences meaningful? 
• What advertisers do you want to associate your business or app with? 
• Do the ads reflect your brand? Are they tied to what your business does? 
• Too many ads on your mobile app may drive away users. 
• Too many ads may also hinder the functionality of your app. 

Since these factors can adversely affect your app income, it is important to find the right balance.

Using React Native is one of the fastest ways to develop a cross-platform mobile app today. Apps you create with it look good on both Android and iOS, and usually deliver near-native performance. Creating a successful eCommerce app with it, however, would still require substantial amounts of skill and effort, especially if you're starting from scratch.

Fortunately, React Native supports custom templates. A well-designed custom template can boost your productivity and dramatically reduce your time to market. CodeCanyon has plenty of premium React Native templates aimed at eCommerce app developers. Among them, MStore Pro stands out as one of the most mature, reusable, and comprehensive.

• 10 Best React Native App Templates of 2019

  If you're looking for the best React Native app templates to help you develop your app idea, here are the ten best available at CodeCanyon for 2019.

Right out of the box, MStore Pro supports WooCommerce integration, AdMob and Facebook ads, push notifications, and multiple payment gateways. Additionally, it comes with a large collection of modular components and over 30 beautiful layouts.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to install MStore Pro and make the most of its primary features.

Prerequisites

To follow along, you'll need:

• the latest version of NodeJS
• the latest version of Android Studio
• a device or emulator running Android 5.0 or higher
• a WordPress instance with the WooCommerce plugin installed
• an Envato account

To better understand why using React Native templates is a good idea, I suggest you also read the following article:

  5 React Native UI Kits, Themes, and App Templates
  Kyle Sloka-Frey

1. Download the Template

MStore Pro, developed by Envato elite author InspireUI, is one of the most popular React Native templates currently available on CodeCanyon.

To download it, log in to your Envato account and purchase a regular license for it. Once you do so, you'll have access to a ZIP file named codecanyon-17010642-beostore-complete-react-native-template-for-ecommerce.zip.

Download the file to your computer and extract it to a temporary directory using an archive manager. If you prefer using a terminal, you can run the following commands:

cd /tmp
unzip ~/Downloads/codecanyon-17010642-beostore-\
complete-react-native-template-for-ecommerce.zip

MStore Pro can be used with both Expo and React Native CLI. For now, we'll be using it with the latter. So we need only the mstore-3.8.0/mstore-pro directory. Copy it to your development environment and enter it.

cp -r mstore-3.8.0/mstore-pro ~/dev
cd ~/dev/mstore-pro

Like most React Native templates, this template too has both an Android project and an Xcode project inside it. In this tutorial, we'll be working only with the Android project.

The Android project needs to know the location of your Android SDK. So open the android/local.properties file and update the value of the sdk.dir property.

sdk.dir=/home/me/Android/Sdk

2. Install Dependencies

You'll, of course, need React Native CLI to build the project you prepared in the previous step. If you don't have it already, here's how you can install it using npm:

npm install -g react-native-cli

To manage MStore Pro's dependencies, you're going to need yarn. Use npm again to install it.

npm install -g yarn

You can now use yarn to download and install all the dependencies.

yarn install

The above command may take a while, depending on how fast your Internet connection is. Once it's complete, do remember to link all the native dependencies by running the following command:

react-native link

At this point, MStore Pro is ready to be used.

3. Build and Run

To install MStore Pro on your Android device, all you need to do is run this command:

react-native run-android

If your Android development environment has no configuration issues, after a successful build, you should be able to see MStore Pro's splash screen and intro screens on your device.

4. Configure WordPress

MStore Pro is meant to be used with WordPress and WooCommerce. To allow it to communicate with your WordPress instance, you'll have to install a few WordPress plugins. All the necessary plugins are free and open source, and are available on the MStore GitHub repository, which is maintained by InspireUI.

Visit the repository, select Clone or download, and press the Download ZIP button to download the entire repository as a ZIP file. Alternatively, you can run the following command from your WordPress server:

wget 'https://github.com/inspireui/mstore/archive/master.zip'

Extract the ZIP file and copy all the contents of the plugins directory to your WordPress instance's wp-content/plugins directory.

You must now activate all the newly installed plugins. To do so, log in to your WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins. Then click on the Activate links shown below the following plugins:

• JSON API - InspireUI
• JSON API Auth
• MStore CheckOut Plugin and API
• Regenerate Thumbnails
• Better REST API Featured Images

Additionally, navigate to Settings > JSON API and click on the Activate link shown below the MStoreUser controller.

In addition to your store's products, the template can display blog posts too, so long as they have pretty permalinks. So if you're using plain permalinks, make sure you go to Settings > Permalinks and select the Post name option.

MStore Pro supports user registrations. If you want to use this feature, go to Settings > General and enable the Anyone can register option.

Lastly, you must generate an API key for WooCommerce's REST API. To do so go to WooCommerce > Settings > REST API and press the Create an API key button. In the form that pops up, add a simple description to the key and press the Generate API key button.

Once the key's generated, you'll have access to two strings: a consumer key and a consumer secret.

5. Configure the App

Almost all the important configuration files of the template are present in the src/common/ directory. For the rest of this tutorial, we'll be modifying files in this directory.

cd src/common

To point your MStore Pro app to your WordPress instance, open the AppConfig.json file using any text editor. There, inside the WooCommerce object, update the url key to the URL of your WordPress instance. Then update the consumerKey and consumerSecret to the strings you generated in the previous step.

"WooCommerce": {
    "url": "https://example.com/wordpress/",
    "consumerKey": "ck_28ed657b985de90f4ec9229f32d4ce73411251121100",
    "consumerSecret": "cs_89bd6677fe547e587115b21e95a4172777ffa22910"
}

If you reload the app on your phone now, you should be able to see items from your own WooCommerce store.

6. Customize the App

MStore Pro is highly customizable. Every aspect of its user interface can be modified by making minor changes in its configuration files.

For instance, to replace MStore Pro's logo with your own business's logo, you'll have to make changes in the Config.js file. More specifically, you'll have to change the values of the LogoImage, LogoWithText, and LogoLoading properties.

LogoImage: require("@images/my-logo-main.png"),
LogoWithText: require("@images/my-logo-with-text.png"),
LogoLoading: require("@images/my-logo-main.png"),

Before making the above changes, make sure that the new images are present in the src/images directory.

Here's a screenshot of the app with a custom logo:

To change the colors of the app's UI components, you must modify the Color.js file. For example, if you want to change the color of the icons shown in the tab bar, change the tabbarColor property. Similarly, to change the color of the currently active tab's icon, change the tabbarTint property.

If you want to change the overall theme of the app, however, you must modify the Theme.js file. It has intuitively named properties, such as primary, accent, and background, which you can change to quickly make major changes to the look and feel of your app.

Note that MStore Pro has a dark theme built into it. To activate it, inside the app, navigate to the User profile tab and turn on the Dark Theme switch.

MStore Pro also allows you to easily change the textual content of your screens. For instance, you may have noticed that the intro screens still mention "MStore" instead of the name of your business. To fix this, open the Config.js file and look for the intro array. Each item inside this array defines the contents of an intro page.

To modify the text an intro page displays, update its title and text properties. And to change the icon it displays, change the icon property. The Icons.js file lists all the valid values for the icon property.

{
  key: "page1",
  title: "Welcome to My Fashion Store",
  text: "Trendy Outfits for Millennials",
  icon: "ios-cart",
  colors: ["#0FF0B3", "#036ED9"],
}

With the above changes, the intro page will look like this:

Conclusion

You now know how to use MStore Pro, a feature-rich React Native app template, to quickly create an eCommerce app for your online business. In this tutorial, you also learned how to configure your WordPress instance—and WooCommerce—to communicate with MStore Pro.

MStore Pro is a very well-maintained template. It sees frequent updates, with new and interesting features added regularly. To learn about its latest features, do refer to its online documentation.

• 10 Best React Native App Templates of 2019

  If you're looking for the best React Native app templates to help you develop your app idea, here are the ten best available at CodeCanyon for 2019.

Let’s start with some statistics:

• 75% of users have mobile devices as their primary way to get online. 
• 80% of searches conducted on mobile devices result in a sale. 
• 90% of mobile users spend more time in apps than on the web. 

The best way to reach mobile users is through apps. By engaging with mobile users you’re taking advantage of mobile traffic. This increases your visibility and opens up huge revenue opportunities for your business. 

What does this mean for a developer? That you can create apps for your clients so they can reach and engage with their users. 

What does this mean for a business? That you can take advantage of mobile traffic through apps. You can build apps for just about any niche and monetize them. 

There are different types of mobile apps: web apps, native apps, and hybrid apps. The app you choose to create will depend on the goals you want to achieve as a business and what audience you want to engage with. 

But developing mobile apps for either system is an involved process. It takes time and a lot of money to build an app. That's where app templates come in. Using an app template saves time and money. App templates are available at affordable prices and can save a lot of development work.

In this post I'll introduce you to a wide variety of premium Android mobile templates you can find in the CodeCanyon marketplace. You can customize these templates to create the kind of app you have in mind. 

Introduction to Mobile App Templates

There are two major mobile operating systems: iOS and Android. In this post, I'll focus on premium Android app templates that are available on CodeCanyon.

• Android is an open-source operating system developed and supported by Google. It commands an 88% share of the world market of mobile devices. It’s used by many device manufacturers. 
• Android apps are available through Google Play Store. 
• Android apps are developed using Java. 
• Android apps only work in Android devices.

What is an App Template?

An app template is a pre-built application with a lot of the core functionality already implemented for you. It allows you to easily customize and add to the template's code to create the kind of app you want. 

Types of App Templates

WebView Apps

Web apps or responsive web apps are essentially webpages that can be read on mobile devices. They can be accessed through mobile web browsers without needing to install anything. To give a web app the look and feel of mobile apps, including the ability to add the app to the Google Play Store so it can be installed a mobile device for easy access, you will need a WebView template. An advantage of a web app, is that it will generally work on any mobile device, so you don't need to code separate Android and iOS 

Native Apps

Native Android apps run on an Android device and are written in Java. They have complete access to all the hardware and functionality of a device from the cameras, local storage, microphone, photos, contacts, location, etc. To use a native app, it must be first downloaded and installed from the Google Play Store. 

Hybrid Apps

Hybrid apps combine some of the best features of native and web apps. Hybrid apps are written with JavaScript and CSS, using the familiar web technologies, but also have much of the performance and direct access to device hardware that native apps provide. Hybrid apps are shared on the Google Play Store and must be installed on the device to be used.They are available via app stores and are installed on your device. Hybrid apps also make it much easier to develop cross-platform, so you can create apps for both iOS and Android with the same codebase.

Ionic and React Native are the leading platforms for hybrid mobile apps.

Why Do You Need App Templates? 

Developing an app is a costly and time-consuming process. Not every business has the deep pockets to foot the bill for such a lengthy and involved process that includes discovery, design, development, testing and deployment, and marketing. 

• app templates are affordable—much of the code is already written for you 
• the templates come with all features you need to create your own mobile app
• the heavy lifting has been done so you can focus on creating the app you want by customizing and adding elements that will make your app unique
• the templates come with documentation—all you need to do is follow the instructions

Things to Consider When Choosing Mobile Android Templates:

Ease of use: Using the template should not be rocket science. It has to be so simple that someone with no coding expertise can easily learn and use it. Documentation should be clear. 

Design: Simplicity is key. Design should be intuitive, uncluttered, and consistent from screen to screen. 

Cost: What license are you getting? Do you need an extended license? Is it a one-time payment or will you pay annual renewal fees? (CodeCanyon app templates only require a one-time payment.) Compare the prices of other templates and see what fits your budget.

Customization: The template should be easy to customize, so that the finished app can reflect your unique style and branding. Customization should not take a lot of time. 

Social share ability: Make it easy for users to spread the word about your app by sharing it with others through social media.

Push notifications: Once downloaded how do you get users to spend time on your app? Push notifications allow you to send well-timed messages to users. 

Monetization: Look for built in monetization options like in-app purchases, Admob for in-app advertising revenue, and the ability to take payments through different payment gateways.

Ratings and reviews: What are people are saying about the product? This can be a good indicator of the quality of the app template and also the trustworthiness of the provider. 

Downloads: The number of downloads of a particular app template is proof of its popularity among users. It shows they trust the provider. 

Security and frequent updates: Bugs make your app vulnerable to attacks. Regular updates are an indicator of trustworthiness of the provider. Your choice of an app template should factor this in. 

Support: Once you buy the app template you may run into some issues. Make sure that the seller offers support. While reading ratings and reviews be sure to check what other users say about the quality of support from the provider. 

Web App, Native App, or Hybrid App: Which One Should You Choose? 

The app template you choose to create will depend on goals you want to achieve as a business and what audience you want to engage with. Ultimately, what you should aim for is providing great user experience. 

If you have an existing web app or web site and just want to quickly convert it to a mobile app that can be downloaded and installed on user devices, a Webview app template is the easiest and fastest way.

If you are comfortable with web technologies like JavaScript and CSS and need to create a new app from scratch, a hybrid app template might be a good choice. A hybrid app template will still let you deliver an almost-native experience to app users, but without the complexities and specialized tooling of native app development.

Let’s start with some statistics:

• 75% of people use mobile devices as their primary way to get online. 
• 80% of searches conducted on mobile devices result in a sale. 
• 90% of mobile users spend more time in apps than on the web. 

The best way to reach mobile users is through apps. By engaging with mobile users, you’re taking advantage of mobile traffic. This increases your visibility and opens up huge revenue opportunities for your business. 

What does this mean for a developer? That you can create apps for your clients so they can reach and engage with their users. 

What does this mean for a business? That you can take advantage of mobile traffic through apps. You can build apps for just about any niche and monetize them. 

There are different types of mobile apps: web apps, native apps, and hybrid apps. The app you choose to create will depend on the goals you want to achieve as a business and what audience you want to engage with. 

But developing mobile apps for either system is an involved process. It takes time and a lot of money to build an app. That's where app templates come in. Using an app template saves time and money. App templates are available at affordable prices and can save a lot of development work.

In this post I'll introduce you to a wide variety of premium Android mobile templates you can find in the CodeCanyon marketplace. You can customize these templates to create the kind of app you have in mind. 

Introduction to Mobile App Templates

There are two major mobile operating systems: iOS and Android. In this post, I'll focus on premium Android app templates that are available on CodeCanyon.

• Android is an open-source operating system developed and supported by Google. It commands an 88% share of the world market of mobile devices. It’s used by many device manufacturers. 
• Android apps are available through the Google Play Store. 
• Android apps are developed using Java. 
• Android apps only work on Android devices.

What Is an App Template?

An app template is a pre-built application with a lot of the core functionality already implemented for you. It allows you to easily customize and add to the template's code to create the kind of app you want. 

Types of App Templates

WebView Apps

Web apps or responsive web apps are essentially webpages that can be read on mobile devices. They can be accessed through mobile web browsers without needing to install anything. To give a web app the look and feel of mobile apps, including the ability to add the app to the Google Play Store so it can be installed a mobile device for easy access, you will need a WebView template. An advantage of a web app is that it will generally work on any mobile device, so you don't need to code separate Android and iOS apps.

Native Apps

Native Android apps run on an Android device and are written in Java. They have complete access to all the hardware and functionality of a device from the cameras, local storage, microphone, photos, contacts, location, etc. To use a native app, it must be first downloaded and installed from the Google Play Store. 

Hybrid Apps

Hybrid apps combine some of the best features of native and web apps. Hybrid apps are written with JavaScript and CSS, using the familiar web technologies, but also have much of the performance and direct access to device hardware that native apps provide. Hybrid apps are shared on the Google Play Store and must be installed on the device to be used. They are available via app stores and are installed on your device. Hybrid apps also make it much easier to develop cross-platform, so you can create apps for both iOS and Android with the same codebase.

Ionic and React Native are the leading platforms for hybrid mobile apps.

Why Do You Need App Templates? 

Developing an app is a costly and time-consuming process. Not every business has the deep pockets to foot the bill for such a lengthy and involved process that includes discovery, design, development, testing and deployment, and marketing. 

• App templates are affordable—much of the code is already written for you.
• The templates come with all the features you need to create your own mobile app.
• The heavy lifting has been done so you can focus on creating the app you want by customizing and adding elements that will make your app unique.
• The templates come with documentation—all you need to do is follow the instructions.

Things to Consider When Choosing Mobile Android Templates

Ease of use: Using the template should not be rocket science. It has to be so simple that someone with no coding expertise can easily learn and use it. The documentation should be clear. 

Design: Simplicity is key. The design should be intuitive, uncluttered, and consistent from screen to screen. 

Cost: What license are you getting? Do you need an extended license? Is it a one-time payment or will you pay annual renewal fees? (CodeCanyon app templates only require a one-time payment.) Compare the prices of other templates and see what fits your budget.

Customization: The template should be easy to customize, so that the finished app can reflect your unique style and branding. Customization should not take a lot of time. 

Social share ability: Make it easy for users to spread the word about your app by sharing it with others through social media.

Push notifications: Once downloaded how do you get users to spend time on your app? Push notifications allow you to send well-timed messages to users. 

Monetization: Look for built-in monetization options like in-app purchases, AdMob for in-app advertising revenue, and the ability to take payments through different payment gateways.

Ratings and reviews: What are people are saying about the product? This can be a good indicator of the quality of the app template and also the trustworthiness of the provider. 

Downloads: The number of downloads of a particular app template is proof of its popularity among users. It shows they trust the provider. 

Security and frequent updates: Bugs make your app vulnerable to attacks. Regular updates are an indicator of trustworthiness of the provider. Your choice of an app template should factor this in. 

Support: Once you buy the app template, you may run into some issues. Make sure that the seller offers support. While reading ratings and reviews, be sure to check what other users say about the quality of support from the provider. 

Web App, Native App, or Hybrid App: Which One Should You Choose? 

The app template you choose to create will depend on goals you want to achieve as a business and what audience you want to engage with. Ultimately, what you should aim for is providing a great user experience. 

If you have an existing web app or website and just want to quickly convert it to a mobile app that can be downloaded and installed on user devices, a WebView app template is the easiest and fastest way.

If you are comfortable with web technologies like JavaScript and CSS and need to create a new app from scratch, a hybrid app template might be a good choice. A hybrid app template will still let you deliver an almost-native experience to app users, but without the complexities and specialized tooling of native app development.

React Native is a cross-platform mobile app development framework with a gentle learning curve and lots of built-in components. Because it has a very active developer community, there are also hundreds of open source third-party component libraries available for it, allowing you to create both Android and iOS apps focusing only on the apps' core logic. Nevertheless, being able to quickly create your own custom, reusable components from scratch is still an important skill to have.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create a custom React Native Calendar component using just ES6 and a few basic components offered by the framework itself.

1. Creating a New Project

To avoid installing the React Native CLI and all its dependencies on your computer, for now, I suggest you use Expo's Snack, a free, browser-based IDE for React Native app development. If you don't have an Expo account already, create one now.

After you log in to Expo, to create a new Snack project, switch to the Snacks tab and click on the Create a Snack link.

The IDE will take just a few seconds to create your project and prepare a preview device for it. Once it's ready, it should look like this:

Before you proceed, make sure you delete all the sample code present in App.js.

2. Creating a New Component

To be able to use the React framework and React Native components in your project, add the following import statements at the beginning of the App.js file:

import * as React from 'react';
import * as RN from 'react-native';

You create a custom React component by creating a class that extends the Component class. Inside the class, you must add a method named render(), which returns JSX code. The following code creates a component named MyCalendar:

class MyCalendar extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (<RN.View></RN.View>
    );
  }
}

In the render() method, we're currently returning an empty View component. It's going to serve as a container for all the other components of our calendar.

3. Creating Constants

The calendar component needs two string arrays: one to store the names of the months and one to store the names of the days of the week.

months = ["January", "February", "March", "April", 
"May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", 
"November", "December"];

weekDays = [
    "Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat"
];

Next, we'll need an array that stores the number of days each month has. For February, let the number be 28. We'll write the code to handle leap years later.

nDays = [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31];

4. Initialize a State

To make our calendar component interactive, we must associate a state with it. For now, we're going to store nothing but a Date object inside the state, initialized to today's date.

state = {
    activeDate: new Date()
}

The state's, of course, mutable. When a user clicks on a different date in the calendar, we'll be changing the state to use the new date.

5. Generating a Matrix

A matrix with seven rows and seven columns is large enough to represent any month of the year. We'll use the first row only as a header, storing the names of the days of the week in it. To create and initialize this matrix, create a new method named generateMatrix().

generateMatrix() {
    var matrix = [];
    // Create header
    matrix[0] = this.weekDays;

    // More code here
}

Before we start adding days to the matrix, we need to determine the day the current month begins. To do so, first get the year and month of the Date object stored in the state. Then create a new Date object using those values and 1, the first day of the month. By calling the getDay() method of this new object, you get the first day of the month.

var year = this.state.activeDate.getFullYear();
var month = this.state.activeDate.getMonth();

var firstDay = new Date(year, month, 1).getDay();

We can't directly use the nDays array to determine the number of days the current month has. If the month's February, we need to manually add an extra day while dealing with leap years. Here's how:

var maxDays = this.nDays[month];
if (month == 1) { // February
  if ((year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || year % 400 == 0) {
    maxDays += 1;
  }
}

At this point, we have all the data we need to fill in the rest of the matrix. The following code shows you how to do so using a counter, two for loops, and two simple if conditions:

var counter = 1;
for (var row = 1; row < 7; row++) {
  matrix[row] = [];
  for (var col = 0; col < 7; col++) {
    matrix[row][col] = -1;
    if (row == 1 && col >= firstDay) {
      // Fill in rows only after the first day of the month
      matrix[row][col] = counter++;
    } else if (row > 1 && counter <= maxDays) {
      // Fill in rows only if the counter's not greater than
      // the number of days in the month
      matrix[row][col] = counter++;
    }
  }
}

return matrix;

Note that you need to explicitly initialize every element of the 7 x 7 matrix. If you forget to do so, the first or last row may have less than seven elements. This can lead to problems while using the map() method to loop through the matrix.

6. Rendering a Month

Back inside the render() method, we must now render the matrix we created. So call the generateMatrix() method inside it.

var matrix = this.generateMatrix();

Next, let's display the year and the name of the current month by adding a Text component to the currently empty View component. Optionally, you can use the style prop to add styles to the text.

<RN.Text style={{
  fontWeight: 'bold',
  fontSize: 18,
  textAlign: 'center'
}}>
  {this.months[this.state.activeDate.getMonth()]} &nbsp;
  {this.state.activeDate.getFullYear()}</RN.Text>

We'll be using a flexbox to render the contents of each row of the matrix. More precisely, for each row, we'll be using a View component with its flex and flexDirection parameters set to 1 and row respectively. Additionally, to ensure that all items of the row are of the same width, we'll set the flexbox's justifyContent parameter to space-around.

Furthermore, to display the individual elements of the matrix, we'll use Text components again. By modifying the backgroundColor property of the Text components responsible for the first row's elements, we can make the header stand out. Similarly, if you want to highlight Sundays, use the color property of the Text components responsible for the first column's elements.

Our calendar should be able to highlight today's date, or a date the user selects. Therefore, let's associate a fontWeight property with each Text component. We'll set it to bold whenever its contents match the date in our state's activeDate variable.

The following code shows you how to use the map() method as an alternative to for loops while generating a component hierarchy for the contents of the matrix:

var rows = [];
rows = matrix.map((row, rowIndex) => {
  var rowItems = row.map((item, colIndex) => {
    return (<RN.Text
        style={{
          flex: 1,
          height: 18,
          textAlign: 'center',
          // Highlight header
          backgroundColor: rowIndex == 0 ? '#ddd' : '#fff',
          // Highlight Sundays
          color: colIndex == 0 ? '#a00' : '#000',
          // Highlight current date
          fontWeight: item == this.state.activeDate.getDate() 
                              ? 'bold': ''
        }}
        onPress={() => this._onPress(item)}>
        {item != -1 ? item : ''}</RN.Text>
    );
  });
  return (<RN.View
      style={{
        flex: 1,
        flexDirection: 'row',
        padding: 15,
        justifyContent: 'space-around',
        alignItems: 'center',
      }}>
      {rowItems}</RN.View>
  );
});

To actually render the matrix, you must now include rows in the JSX returned by the render() method. So add the following code below the Text component responsible for displaying the year and name of the month:

{ rows }

You may have noticed that we've associated an onPress event handler with each Text component displaying a date. We'll use it to update the activeDate variable whenever users click on a date. Of course, remember to ignore Text components that are either empty or responsible for the names of the days of the week.

Accordingly, add the following method to your class:

_onPress = (item) => {    
    this.setState(() => {
      if (!item.match && item != -1) {
        this.state.activeDate.setDate(item);
        return this.state;
      }
    });
};

7. Changing Months

Our calendar component shall have two buttons labeled Next and Previous. These buttons, when pressed, should allow users to move from one month to another. As you may have guessed, inside their event handlers, all we need to do is get the activeDate object and increment or decrement its month by 1.

Accordingly, add the following code towards the end of the JSX returned by the render() method:

<RN.Button title="Previous" 
        onPress={() => this.changeMonth(-1)}/><RN.Button title="Next" 
        onPress={() => this.changeMonth(+1)}/>

Next, create the changeMonth() method. Inside it, you must first call the setState() method and then call the setMonth() method to update the activeDate object.

changeMonth = (n) => {
    this.setState(() => {
      this.state.activeDate.setMonth(
        this.state.activeDate.getMonth() + n
      )
      return this.state;
    });
}

8. Using the Component

Our React Native calendar component is ready. To use it, just add it to the render() method of your App class.

export default class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <MyCalendar/>;
  }
}

If you run your project now, you should see a calendar that looks like this:

Conclusion

You now know how to create and use a custom React Native calendar component without depending on any third-party packages. The component we created today is interactive, extensible, and can be used in any app with minimal changes. Feel free to add more styles and functionality to it.

React Native is a cross-platform mobile app development framework with a gentle learning curve and lots of built-in components. Because it has a very active developer community, there are also hundreds of open-source third-party component libraries available for it, allowing you to create both Android and iOS apps focusing only on the apps' core logic. Nevertheless, being able to quickly create your own custom, reusable components from scratch is still an important skill to have.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create a custom React Native Calendar component using just ES6 and a few basic components offered by the framework itself.

1. Creating a New Project

To avoid installing the React Native CLI and all its dependencies on your computer, for now, I suggest you use Expo's Snack, a free, browser-based IDE for React Native app development. If you don't have an Expo account already, create one now.

After you've logged in to Expo, create a new Snack project by switching to the Snacks tab and clicking on the Create a Snack link.

The IDE will take just a few seconds to create your project and prepare a preview device for it. Once it's ready, it should look like this:

Before you proceed, make sure you delete all the sample code present in App.js.

2. Creating a New Component

To be able to use the React framework and React Native components in your project, add the following import statements at the beginning of the App.js file:

import * as React from 'react';
import * as RN from 'react-native';

You create a custom React component by creating a class that extends the Component class. Inside the class, you must add a method named render(), which returns JSX code. The following code creates a component named MyCalendar:

class MyCalendar extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (<RN.View></RN.View>
    );
  }
}

In the render() method, we're currently returning an empty View component. It's going to serve as a container for all the other components of our calendar.

3. Creating Constants

The calendar component needs two string arrays: one to store the names of the months and one to store the names of the days of the week.

months = ["January", "February", "March", "April", 
"May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", 
"November", "December"];

weekDays = [
    "Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat"
];

Next, we'll need an array that stores the number of days each month has. For February, let the number be 28. We'll write the code to handle leap years later.

nDays = [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31];

4. Initialize a State

To make our calendar component interactive, we must associate a state with it. For now, we're going to store nothing but a Date object inside the state, initialized to today's date.

state = {
    activeDate: new Date()
}

The state, of course, is mutable. When a user clicks on a different date in the calendar, we'll be changing the state to use the new date.

5. Generating a Matrix

A matrix with seven rows and seven columns is large enough to represent any month of the year. We'll use the first row only as a header, storing the names of the days of the week in it. To create and initialize this matrix, create a new method named generateMatrix().

generateMatrix() {
    var matrix = [];
    // Create header
    matrix[0] = this.weekDays;

    // More code here
}

Before we start adding days to the matrix, we need to determine the day the current month begins. To do so, first get the year and month of the Date object stored in the state. Then create a new Date object using those values and 1, the first day of the month. By calling the getDay() method of this new object, you get the first day of the month.

var year = this.state.activeDate.getFullYear();
var month = this.state.activeDate.getMonth();

var firstDay = new Date(year, month, 1).getDay();

We can't directly use the nDays array to determine the number of days the current month has. If the month's February, we need to manually add an extra day while dealing with leap years. Here's how:

var maxDays = this.nDays[month];
if (month == 1) { // February
  if ((year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || year % 400 == 0) {
    maxDays += 1;
  }
}

At this point, we have all the data we need to fill in the rest of the matrix. The following code shows you how to do so using a counter, two for loops, and two simple if conditions:

var counter = 1;
for (var row = 1; row < 7; row++) {
  matrix[row] = [];
  for (var col = 0; col < 7; col++) {
    matrix[row][col] = -1;
    if (row == 1 && col >= firstDay) {
      // Fill in rows only after the first day of the month
      matrix[row][col] = counter++;
    } else if (row > 1 && counter <= maxDays) {
      // Fill in rows only if the counter's not greater than
      // the number of days in the month
      matrix[row][col] = counter++;
    }
  }
}

return matrix;

Note that you need to explicitly initialize every element of the 7 x 7 matrix. If you forget to do so, the first or last row may have less than seven elements. This can lead to problems while using the map() method to loop through the matrix.

6. Rendering a Month

Back inside the render() method, we must now render the matrix we created. So call the generateMatrix() method inside it.

var matrix = this.generateMatrix();

Next, let's display the year and the name of the current month by adding a Text component to the currently empty View component. Optionally, you can use the style prop to add styles to the text.

<RN.Text style={{
  fontWeight: 'bold',
  fontSize: 18,
  textAlign: 'center'
}}>
  {this.months[this.state.activeDate.getMonth()]} &nbsp;
  {this.state.activeDate.getFullYear()}</RN.Text>

We'll be using a flexbox to render the contents of each row of the matrix. More precisely, for each row, we'll be using a View component with its flex and flexDirection parameters set to 1 and row respectively. Additionally, to ensure that all items of the row are of the same width, we'll set the flexbox's justifyContent parameter to space-around.

Furthermore, to display the individual elements of the matrix, we'll use Text components again. By modifying the backgroundColor property of the Text components responsible for the first row's elements, we can make the header stand out. Similarly, if you want to highlight Sundays, use the color property of the Text components responsible for the first column's elements.

Our calendar should be able to highlight today's date, or a date the user selects. Therefore, let's associate a fontWeight property with each Text component. We'll set it to bold whenever its contents match the date in our state's activeDate variable.

The following code shows you how to use the map() method as an alternative to for loops while generating a component hierarchy for the contents of the matrix:

var rows = [];
rows = matrix.map((row, rowIndex) => {
  var rowItems = row.map((item, colIndex) => {
    return (<RN.Text
        style={{
          flex: 1,
          height: 18,
          textAlign: 'center',
          // Highlight header
          backgroundColor: rowIndex == 0 ? '#ddd' : '#fff',
          // Highlight Sundays
          color: colIndex == 0 ? '#a00' : '#000',
          // Highlight current date
          fontWeight: item == this.state.activeDate.getDate() 
                              ? 'bold': ''
        }}
        onPress={() => this._onPress(item)}>
        {item != -1 ? item : ''}</RN.Text>
    );
  });
  return (<RN.View
      style={{
        flex: 1,
        flexDirection: 'row',
        padding: 15,
        justifyContent: 'space-around',
        alignItems: 'center',
      }}>
      {rowItems}</RN.View>
  );
});

To actually render the matrix, you must now include rows in the JSX returned by the render() method. So add the following code below the Text component responsible for displaying the year and name of the month:

{ rows }

You may have noticed that we've associated an onPress event handler with each Text component displaying a date. We'll use it to update the activeDate variable whenever users click on a date. Of course, remember to ignore Text components that are either empty or responsible for the names of the days of the week.

Accordingly, add the following method to your class:

_onPress = (item) => {    
    this.setState(() => {
      if (!item.match && item != -1) {
        this.state.activeDate.setDate(item);
        return this.state;
      }
    });
};

7. Changing Months

Our calendar component will have two buttons labeled Next and Previous. These buttons, when pressed, should allow users to move from one month to another. As you may have guessed, inside their event handlers, all we need to do is get the activeDate object and increment or decrement its month by 1.

Accordingly, add the following code towards the end of the JSX returned by the render() method:

<RN.Button title="Previous" 
        onPress={() => this.changeMonth(-1)}/><RN.Button title="Next" 
        onPress={() => this.changeMonth(+1)}/>

Next, create the changeMonth() method. Inside it, you must first call the setState() method and then call the setMonth() method to update the activeDate object.

changeMonth = (n) => {
    this.setState(() => {
      this.state.activeDate.setMonth(
        this.state.activeDate.getMonth() + n
      )
      return this.state;
    });
}

8. Using the Component

Our React Native calendar component is ready. To use it, just add it to the render() method of your App class.

export default class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <MyCalendar/>;
  }
}

If you run your project now, you should see a calendar that looks like this:
