Okay, let's start building the React Native Project Management Dashboard.
We'll begin by setting up the project structure, defining types, creating a mock API service, and setting up basic navigation.
This sets up:
src directory with subdirectories for api, components, navigation, screens, styles, and types.package.json with necessary libraries.tsconfig.json for strict type checking and path aliases (@/*).babel.config.js for the module resolver alias.Project, Task, DashboardAnalyticsData) and navigation types in src/types/index.ts.src/api/mockApi.ts with functions to simulate backend interactions using dummy data and delays.src/styles/colors.ts) and common styles (src/styles/commonStyles.ts).src/navigation/AppNavigator.tsx.LoadingIndicator and ErrorDisplay for handling UI states. ProjectCard and StatusBadge for displaying project information.DashboardScreen: Fetches and displays analytics data, including a basic line chart.ProjectsListScreen: Fetches and displays a list of projects using ProjectCard, includes pull-to-refresh and a FAB for adding projects.ProjectDetails, AddEditProject, TaskDetails, and AddEditTask.App.tsx initializes the SafeAreaProvider and renders the AppNavigator.Next, we will implement the ProjectDetailsScreen and the AddEditProjectScreen to allow viewing, creating, and editing projects.
Okay, let's implement the functionality for the remaining screens: ProjectDetailsScreen, AddEditProjectScreen, TaskDetailsScreen, and AddEditTaskScreen. We'll also create a TaskCard component for the project details view.
Now we have implemented:
TaskCard: A reusable component to display task summaries.ProjectDetailsScreen:
TaskCard.AddEditProjectScreen:
TextInput, Picker, and DateTimePickerModal.TaskDetailsScreen:
AddEditTaskScreen:
TextInput, Picker, DateTimePickerModal.expo-image-picker to add/remove photos.projectId is passed correctly in navigation parameters for task screens.The core CRUD functionality for both projects and tasks is now implemented, along with basic photo attachment for tasks.
Okay, let's integrate these advanced features.
Given we're using a mock API, "Real-time updates" will be simulated by ensuring data refetches when screens are focused and by adding activity logs. True real-time requires a WebSocket or similar backend connection. "Team Management" will be simplified to managing assignees from a predefined list of mock users.
We'll add:
TaskDetailsScreen.ProjectsListScreen and ProjectDetailsScreen.AddEditTaskScreen.ProjectDetailsScreen.Okay, let's adapt the project for a standard React Native CLI setup.
This involves:
package.json, index.js, App.tsx).expo-image-picker) with CLI-compatible alternatives (react-native-image-picker).Step 1: Initialize React Native CLI Project
First, you need to create a new project using the React Native CLI. If you don't have it set up, follow the React Native CLI Quickstart guide in the official React Native documentation for your development OS and target OS (iOS/Android).
bash npx react-native init ProjectManagementDashboardCLI --template react-native-template-typescript cd ProjectManagementDashboardCLI
Step 2: Replace/Update Project Files
Now, replace the contents of the generated files with the following. The `
Step 3: Install Dependencies
Navigate to your project directory (ProjectManagementDashboardCLI) in the terminal and run:
npm install
# or
yarn install
npm install
# or
yarn install
Step 4: Configure Native Modules
This is the most crucial part for CLI projects. You need to configure the native side for several libraries.
Install iOS Pods:
npx pod-install
# or
cd ios && pod install && cd ..
npx pod-install
# or
cd ios && pod install && cd ..
React Native Gesture Handler:
react-native-gesture-handler documentation. This usually involves modifying MainActivity.java (Android) and potentially AppDelegate.m (iOS) to wrap your root view.import 'react-native-gesture-handler'; is the very first line in your index.js. (Already done in the provided index.js).React Native Screens:
react-native-screens documentation for CLI projects. It usually requires adding code to MainActivity.java and AppDelegate.m.React Native Vector Icons:
react-native-vector-icons. This involves:
Ionicons.ttf) to your Xcode project and updating Info.plist with UIAppFonts.android/app/build.gradle to apply the font configuration.React Native SVG:
react-native-svg documentation.React Native Image Picker:
iOS: Add necessary keys to your ios/ProjectManagementDashboardCLI/Info.plist file to describe why you need access to the photo library and camera (if you plan to add camera support later). Common keys are NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription and NSCameraUsageDescription.
<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key> <string>Allow (PRODUCT_NAME) to use the camera to attach images to tasks.</string>
<!-- Add other permissions if needed -->Android: Add permissions to android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml. The library often handles this, but verify. You might need READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE or READ_MEDIA_IMAGES depending on Android version and target SDK.
<!-- Add inside the <manifest> tag -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<!-- For newer Android versions -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<!-- Add inside the <manifest> tag -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<!-- For newer Android versions -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
Other Libraries: @react-native-community/datetimepicker, @react-native-picker/picker, react-native-safe-area-context, react-native-modal-datetime-picker, react-native-chart-kit should generally work with autolinking after npm install and npx pod-install.
Step 5: Run the App
# For iOS
npx react-native run-ios
# For Android
npx react-native run-android
# For iOS
npx react-native run-ios
# For Android
npx react-native run-android
This setup provides the core structure and code adapted for a React Native CLI project. Remember that native configuration is essential and requires careful attention to the documentation of each library.*
Okay, here is the complete project structure and code adapted for React Native CLI, including the package.json and all source files.
Reminder: After creating these files in your ProjectManagementDashboardCLI directory, you still need to:
npm install (or yarn install).npx pod-install (for iOS).Okay, let's update the project files to reflect compatibility with react@19.0.0 and react-native@0.78.1.
The main changes will be in the configuration files (package.json, tsconfig.json, babel.config.js) and potentially minor adjustments in the entry point (index.js). The core application code within the src directory generally remains compatible, especially since React 19 maintains high backward compatibility for component APIs and React Native 0.78 builds upon previous versions without drastically changing the APIs used in this project.
Important Considerations for Upgrading:
react-navigation, react-native-vector-icons, react-native-image-picker, etc.) generally support it or have versions that do.useOptimistic, etc., which aren't used in this project yet but could be leveraged in the future. Core component rendering remains largely the same.react-native-gesture-handler, react-native-screens, react-native-vector-icons, react-native-image-picker, etc.) for required versions and any specific setup instructions for RN 0.78+.Here are the updated files:
Remember to perform the native setup steps (dependency installation, pod install, permissions, linking checks) after placing these files in your project. The upgrade to newer React/React Native versions often requires careful checking of native module compatibility and setup.
Okay, let's revert the project files back to the configuration compatible with the earlier React Native CLI version (around 0.72.x) and its corresponding dependencies.
This primarily involves reverting the changes made to package.json, tsconfig.json, and babel.config.js. The source code within the src directory should remain largely the same as it was before the 0.78 upgrade attempt.
This reverts the configuration files (package.json, tsconfig.json, babel.config.js) to be suitable for React Native 0.72.7 while keeping the latest application logic from the src directory. Remember to reinstall dependencies (npm install or yarn install) and re-run npx pod-install after applying these changes.
