Building a Social Media App with React Native CLI and TypeScript

I'll help you build a social media application using React Native CLI with TypeScript. Let's start with the project setup and then implement key features like authentication, feed, posts, and profiles.

Project Setup

First, let's set up a new React Native project with TypeScript:

# Install React Native CLI globally if you haven't already
npm install -g react-native-cli

# Create a new React Native project with TypeScript template
npx react-native init SocialMediaApp --template react-native-template-typescript

# Navigate to the project directory
cd SocialMediaApp

# Install additional dependencies
npm install @react-navigation/native @react-navigation/stack @react-navigation/bottom-tabs react-native-screens react-native-safe-area-context react-native-gesture-handler @react-native-async-storage/async-storage

Project Structure

Let's create a basic structure for our social media app:

SocialMediaApp

project-structure.js

Now let's implement the core components of our social media app:

App Navigation

Let's set up the navigation structure:

SocialMediaApp

src/navigation/AppNavigator.tsx

Type Definitions

Let's define our TypeScript types:

SocialMediaApp

src/types/navigation.ts

SocialMediaApp

src/types/models.ts

Authentication Screens

Let's implement the login and registration screens:

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/auth/LoginScreen.tsx

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/auth/RegisterScreen.tsx

Feed Screen

Let's implement the feed screen to display posts:

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/feed/FeedScreen.tsx

Post Component

Let's create a reusable post card component:

SocialMediaApp

src/components/feed/PostCard.tsx

Profile Screen

Let's implement the user profile screen:

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/profile/ProfileScreen.tsx

Create Post Screen

Let's implement the post creation screen:

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/post/CreatePostScreen.tsx

Post Detail Screen

Let's implement the post detail screen with comments:

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/post/PostDetailScreen.tsx

App Entry Point

Finally, let's update the App.tsx file to use our navigation:

SocialMediaApp

App.tsx

Running the App

To run your social media app:

# Navigate to your project directory
cd SocialMediaApp

# Install dependencies
npm install

# For iOS
npx pod-install ios
npx react-native run-ios

# For Android
npx react-native run-android

Next Steps

This is a foundation for your social media app. Here are some features you might want to add next:

Real Authentication: Implement a proper authentication system with JWT tokens
Backend Integration: Connect to a real backend API (Node.js, Firebase, etc.)
Image Upload: Add the ability to upload images from the device
Real-time Features: Add real-time updates for messages and notifications
Search Functionality: Implement user and content search
Direct Messaging: Add private messaging between users
Notifications: Implement push notifications

Making the Social Media App Fully Functional with React Native CLI

To make your social media app fully functional, we'll need to integrate a backend service. I'll use Firebase for this implementation as it provides all the necessary services (authentication, database, storage, and real-time updates) that a social media app needs.

Let's enhance the app to make it fully functional:

1. Setting Up Firebase

First, let's install the required Firebase packages:

# Install Firebase
npm install @react-native-firebase/app @react-native-firebase/auth @react-native-firebase/firestore @react-native-firebase/storage

# Install image picker for uploading photos
npm install react-native-image-picker

# Install additional dependencies
npm install react-native-uuid

Configure Firebase in your project

SocialMediaApp

firebase.config.js

You'll need to replace the placeholder values with your actual Firebase project configuration.

2. Create Firebase Services

Let's create service files to handle Firebase operations:

SocialMediaApp

src/services/auth.service.ts

SocialMediaApp

src/services/post.service.ts

3. Create Authentication Context

Let's create an authentication context to manage the user's authentication state throughout the app:

SocialMediaApp

src/contexts/AuthContext.tsx

4. Update App.tsx to Use AuthProvider

SocialMediaApp

App.tsx

5. Update AppNavigator to Use Auth Context

SocialMediaApp

src/navigation/AppNavigator.tsx

6. Update Navigation Types

SocialMediaApp

src/types/navigation.ts

7. Update Login Screen

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/auth/LoginScreen.tsx

8. Update Register Screen

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/auth/RegisterScreen.tsx

9. Update Feed Screen

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/feed/FeedScreen.tsx

10. Update Post Card Component

SocialMediaApp

src/components/feed/PostCard.tsx

11. Update Profile Screen

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/profile/ProfileScreen.tsx

12. Create Edit Profile Screen

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/profile/EditProfileScreen.tsx

I found some issues in the code block.

The Platform variable is undeclared.

I will fix them.

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/profile/EditProfileScreen.tsx

13. Update Create Post Screen

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/post/CreatePostScreen.tsx

14. Update Post Detail Screen

SocialMediaApp

src/screens/post/PostDetailScreen.tsx

15. Setting Up Firebase in Android and iOS

For Android:

Create a google-services.json file from your Firebase console and place it in the android/app directory.
Update your android/build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    // ...
    dependencies {
        // ...
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15'
    }
}

Update your android/app/build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'  // Add this line

// ...

dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:32.0.0')
}

For iOS:

Create a GoogleService-Info.plist file from your Firebase console and add it to your Xcode project.
Update your ios/Podfile:

target 'SocialMediaApp' do
  # ...
  pod 'Firebase', :modular_headers => true
  pod 'FirebaseCore', :modular_headers => true
  pod 'GoogleUtilities', :modular_headers => true
  # ...
end

Run cd ios && pod install to install the dependencies.

Running the App

To run your fully functional social media app:

# Navigate to your project directory
cd SocialMediaApp

# Install dependencies
npm install

# For iOS
npx pod-install ios
npx react-native run-ios

# For Android
npx react-native run-android

Summary

You now have a fully functional social media app with the following features:

User Authentication:
- Sign up with email and password
- Login with email and password
- User profiles with customizable information
Posts:
- Create posts with text and images
- View posts in a feed
- Like posts
- Comment on posts
Profile Management:
- View your profile
- Edit profile information
- Upload profile pictures
- View your posts
Real-time Data:
- All data is stored in Firebase Firestore
- Images are stored in Firebase Storage
- Authentication is handled by Firebase Auth

This app provides a solid foundation that you can extend with additional features like:

Follow/Unfollow Users: Implement the ability to follow other users and see their posts in your feed.
Direct Messaging: Add private messaging between users.
Notifications: Implement push notifications for likes, comments, and follows.
Search: Add the ability to search for users and posts.
Stories: Implement temporary content like Instagram stories.
