Is a React Native developer still a frontend developer?

Question

Mobile development

There is an opportunity to go as a junior to a company that wants me to build their app in React Native.
Everything seems to be fine, they take it for growth, that's all.
But the question is, how would the potential future employers who just want to make web applications react to the experience with React Native? Can React Native experience count as regular React experience at the same time? Are they that similar?

Answer 1

Can React Native experience count as regular React experience at the same time? Are they that similar?

I would say, 60 percent. There is no CSS in the traditional sense and its own layout rules, but what concerns JS is completely translated into the browser - application architecture, React patterns, etc. The build system there is also its own and there are no problems with browser rendering.

Answer 2

1) If there is no choice, then you go, what to do.
2) If there is a choice, then it is better to refuse. React Native is shit that doesn't have any commercial prospects at the moment. It is used only by a narrow circle of companies that believe that it is possible to save money and write an adequate application for different systems.
Therefore, when you get fired because your application will be lying somewhere with 2-3 stars because of a bunch of left-handed bugs (and they will be there!), You will not find another job.
