Ignite Sparks of Connection with react-native-dating-app

Robert Harris -

In a world that constantly craves connection, the open-source project, react-native-dating-app, stands as a beacon of possibility. Spearheaded by galliaCodeWorld, this React Native application furnishes the framework for a simplistic dating app, all wrapped up in the intuitive nature of React Native and TypeScript.

The essence of react-native-dating-app lies in its core functionalities:

  1. User Authentication: A secure gateway for users to register and log in.
  2. Exploration and Matching: Wander through profiles and strike a match with the ones that catch your eye.
  3. Messaging: Break the ice with a message and let the conversation flow.

Getting your hands dirty with react-native-dating-app is a walk in the park. A mere import of the react-native-dating-app module in your React Native application, and you're off to the races:

import React, { useState } from "react";
import {
  // ... other imports
} from "react-native-dating-app";

// ... rest of the code

Executing the provided example unveils a simplistic dating app interface where users can register, log in, browse, match, and engage in conversations. But that's not where the story ends. The app extends its arm further by offering:

  • Profile Picture Uploads: A picture is worth a thousand words; upload one to express yourself.
  • Profile Information Settings: Tailor your profile to reflect the real you.
  • Match Filters: Set your preferences and filter the matches to meet your criteria.
// Uploading profile picture
const onImagePicked = (image) => {
  useUser().setProfileImage(image);
};

// Setting profile information
const onUsernameChanged = (username) => {
  useUser().setUsername(username);
};
