Fabric introduces a synchronous rendering pipeline, dramatically improving UI responsiveness and reducing frame drops.
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
const FabricOptimizedComponent: React.FC = () => {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text>Fabric-Optimized Rendering</Text>
</View>
);
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center'
}
});
export default FabricOptimizedComponent;
Turbo Modules replace the legacy native module system with a type-safe, efficient communication mechanism.
// Native Module Definition
interface DeviceInfoModule {
getDeviceModel(): string;
getBatteryLevel(): Promise<number>;
}
// JavaScript Implementation
const DeviceInfo = TurboModuleRegistry.get<DeviceInfoModule>('DeviceInfo');
export function useDeviceInfo() {
const deviceModel = DeviceInfo.getDeviceModel();
const batteryLevel = DeviceInfo.getBatteryLevel();
return { deviceModel, batteryLevel };
}

"hermes": {
"enabled": true,
"optimizationLevel": "advanced"
}
}
