You built a React web app. Now management wants iOS and Android versions. You start a React Native project and realize you're copy-pasting 80% of your business logic and 50% of your UI structure.
You're maintaining three apps instead of one.
Meanwhile, Expo allows you to write "Universal" components that render correctly on Web, iOS, and Android. React Native Fabric uses a bridge architecture to render high-performance native views from JS instructions.
They all use the same pattern: Bridge.
Not the academic version. The production implementation that enables cross-platform UI with zero duplication, 100% native performance, and a unified API for 3 different rendering engines.
This article shows you how.
// ❌ Duplicated logic per platform
// Button.web.tsx
const WebButton = ({ onClick }) => <button onClick={onClick}>Click</button>;
// Button.ios.tsx
const IOSButton = ({ onPress }) => <TouchableOpacity onPress={onPress}>...</TouchableOpacity>;
// Button.android.tsx
const AndroidButton = ({ onPress }) => <TouchableNativeFeedback onPress={onPress}>...</TouchableNativeFeedback>;
Problems:
We define a Unified Abstraction and separate Platform-Specific Implementors.
interface UIRenderer {
renderButton(props: ButtonProps): any;
}
class WebRenderer implements UIRenderer { ... }
class NativeRenderer implements UIRenderer { ... }
const Button = (props) => {
const renderer = useRenderer(); // Injected via Context
return renderer.renderButton(props);
};
