name="javascript-runtime"></a>JavaScript Runtime <a class="hash-link" href="#javascript-runtime">#</a></h2><p>When using React Native, you&#x27;re going to be running your JavaScript code in two environments:</p><ul><li>On iOS simulators and devices, Android emulators and devices React Native uses <a href="http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/JavaScriptCore" target="_blank">JavaScriptCore</a> which is the JavaScript engine that powers Safari. On iOS JSC doesn&#x27;t use JIT due to the absence of writable executable memory in iOS apps.</li><li>When using Chrome debugging, it runs all the JavaScript code within Chrome itself and communicates with native code via WebSocket. So you are using <a href="https://code.google.com/p/v8/" target="_blank">V8</a>.</li></ul><p>While both environments are very similar, you may end up hitting some inconsistencies. We&#x27;re likely going to experiment with other JS engines in the future, so it&#x27;s best to avoid relying on specifics of any runtime.</p><h2><a class="anchor" name="javascript-syntax-transformers"></a>JavaScript Syntax Transformers <a class="hash-link" href="#javascript-syntax-transformers">#</a></h2><p>Syntax transformers make writing code more enjoyable by allowing you to use new JavaScript syntax without having to wait for support on all interpreters.</p><p>As of version 0.5.0, React Native ships with the <a href="https://babeljs.io" target="_blank">Babel JavaScript compiler</a>. Check <a href="http://babeljs.io/docs/advanced/transformers/" target="_blank">Babel documentation</a> on its supported transformations for more details.</p><p>Here&#x27;s a full list of React Native&#x27;s <a href="https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/packager/transformer.js#L21" target="_blank">enabled transformations</a>.</p><p>ES5</p><ul><li>Reserved Words: <code>promise.catch(function() { });</code></li></ul><p>ES6</p><ul><li><a href="http://babeljs.io/docs/learn-es2015/#arrows" target="_blank">Arrow functions</a>: <code>&lt;C onPress={() =&gt; this.setState({pressed: true})}</code></li><li><a href="https://babeljs.io/docs/learn-es2015/#let-const" target="_blank">Block scoping</a>: <code>let greeting = &#x27;hi&#x27;;</code></li><li><a href="http://babeljs.io/docs/learn-es2015/#default-rest-spread" target="_blank">Call spread</a>: <code>Math.max(...array);</code></li><li><a href="http://babeljs.io/docs/learn-es2015/#classes" target="_blank">Classes</a>: <code>class C extends React.Component { render() { return &lt;View /&gt;; } }</code></li><li><a href="https://babeljs.io/docs/learn-es2015/#let-const" target="_blank">Constants</a>: <code>const answer = 42;</code></li><li><a href="http://babeljs.io/docs/learn-es2015/#destructuring" target="_blank">Destructuring</a>: <code>var {isActive, style} = this.props;</code></li><li><a href="http://babeljs.io/docs/learn-es2015/#modules" target="_blank">Modules</a>: <code>import React, { Component } from &#x27;react-native&#x27;;</code></li><li><a href="http://babeljs.io/docs/learn-es2015/#enhanced-object-literals" target="_blank">Computed Properties</a>: <code>var key = &#x27;abc&#x27;; var obj = {[key]: 10};</code></li><li>Object Consise Method: <code>var obj = { method() { return 10; } };</code></li><li><a href="http://babeljs.io/docs/learn-es2015/#enhanced-object-literals" target="_blank">Object Short Notation</a>: <code>var name = &#x27;vjeux&#x27;; var obj = { name };</code></li><li><a href="https://github.com/sebmarkbage/ecmascript-rest-spread" target="_blank">Rest Params</a>: <code>function(type, ...args) { }</code></li><li><a href="http://babeljs.io/docs/learn-es2015/#template-strings" target="_blank">Template Literals</a>: <code>var who = &#x27;world&#x27;; var str = `Hello ${who}`;</code></li></ul><p>ES7</p><ul><li><a href="https://github.com/sebmarkbage/ecmascript-rest-spread" target="_blank">Object Spread</a>: <code>var extended = { ...obj, a: 10 };</code></li><li><a href="https://github.com/jeffmo/es-trailing-function-commas" target="_blank">Function Trailing Comma</a>: <code>function f(a, b, c,) { }</code></li><li><a href="https://github.com/tc39/ecmascript-asyncawait" target="_blank">Async Functions</a>: <code>async function doStuffAsync() { const foo = await doOtherStuffAsync(); }</code>;</li></ul></div><div class="docs-prevnext"><a class="docs-next" href="navigator-comparison.html#content">Next →</a></div></div></section><footer class="wrap"><div class="center">© 2015 Facebook Inc.</div></footer></div><div id="fb-root"></div><script>
