Summary

React Native offers various methods for styling applications, including inline styles, style props, and the use of CSS Modules, which provide locally scoped, portable, and cleaner code. The core layout system in React Native is CSS Flexbox, familiar to many web developers, making the transition to mobile app development relatively seamless. Traditional methods in React Native involve inline styling and using the StyleSheet.create method, which can lead to repetition and less scalable code. CSS Modules, however, allow for component-scoped CSS that avoids naming conflicts and improves the readability and maintainability of code by separating styles into individual files with a .module.css extension. The tutorial also demonstrates setting up a React Native app using Expo and integrating CSS Modules to create well-structured and visually appealing applications, highlighting the advantages of CSS Modules in developing full-scale React Native applications.
