Introduction
What’s up, notJust developers! Are you ready to level up your mobile development skills and become a Full Stack Mobile Developer? In this workshop, we’re diving deep into building a full-stack food ordering application using React Native and Supabase. This is going to be a Zero to Hero tutorial covering everything you need to know about building full-stack mobile apps, from the idea phase all the way to launching your app in the market. By the end of this course you’ll have a fully working Food Ordering App - complete with a beautiful frontend and a powerful backend.
Let’s get into the details and see how you’ll be building this step by step 🚀
Course Overview:
In just 8 hours, you'll gain hands-on experience working with React Native to create beautiful user interfaces and use Supabase for backend development. We’ll break the course into three clear modules:
- Frontend Development (UI): Learn to create beautiful and responsive interfaces with Expo and React Native components.
- Backend Integration (Supabase): Implement database operations and real-time functionality using Supabase.
- Deployment & Production: Bring everything together by deploying your app and ensuring it’s production-ready.
Let's dive into each module step-by-step. 🚀
Module 1: Building the UI
Setting the foundation for any app begins with the frontend. In this module, we focus on React Native User Interface development using Expo.
What You’ll Learn:
- Development Environment Configuration: Set up everything you need, from IDEs to a fresh Expo project, ensuring your workspace is ready.
- UI Creation & Styling: Learn to render and style text, images, and other components, replacing hardcoded data and bringing your app to life.
- Custom Components: Build reusable UI elements, like a Select Size Component for food items, and explore how to handle dynamic states such as size selection.
- Navigation with Expo Router: Learn about screen creation and code structure with Expo Router, enabling seamless navigation between your app’s screens.
- State Management: Use React Context to share data across the app, like managing the shopping cart functionality.
- Admin Side: Build an admin panel where you can create, update, and delete products via forms, image pickers, and more.
- Assignments and Solutions: Test your learning with hands-on assignments and walk through the solutions.
Module 2: Building the Backend with Supabase
Now that we have the frontend of our application ready, in this module, we focus on Supabase to build the app’s backend - handling everything from user authentication to product management.
What You’ll Learn:
- Supabase Setup: Create and configure your Supabase backend so it integrates with your React Native app.
- User Authentication: Implement session management and admin authentication to secure your application’s data.
- CRUD Operations: Build out complete CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities for products and orders, using Supabase tables. Learn how to link related records, like Orders and Order Items, ensuring a smooth database experience.
- Real-Time Updates: Use Supabase Subscriptions to create real-time order tracking, so you and your users can stay updated on the fly.
- Storage Solutions: Manage and serve images efficiently with Supabase's built-in storage and CDN functionality, improving your app’s performance.
Module 3: Production and Final Touches
With our User Interface and backend fully integrating, in the last module, we focus on refining the application and preparing it for deployment.
What You’ll Learn:
- Bug Fixes and Final Polish: Ensure everything works smoothly by addressing UI and performance bugs.
- Stripe Integration: Learn how to accept payments by integrating Stripe into your app. This includes creating customers, managing payment intents, and linking payments with orders.
- Push Notifications: Integrate Expo’s push notification service to keep users updated with real-time alerts about their orders.
- Environment Configuration: Learn to handle environment variables securely with Supabase, setting the stage for seamless production deployment.
