Combining Angular 2 with React Native

Combining Angular 2 with React Native: "Angular 2’s architecture makes it possible to render an application with various renderers including React Native.

One of the fundamental architectural decisions made for Angular 2 was the separation of the framework in two layers: the core, dealing with components, directives, filters, services, router, change detection, DI, I18n –, and the renderer, dealing with DOM, CSS, animation, templates, web components, custom events, etc. The core can be executed in a separate process, decoupling it from the interface and making the later more responsive when the core has lots of processing to do. More about this decision can be found in the Angular 2 Rendering Architecture document.

Traditionally, rendering an Angular.JS application was done via the DOM inside the browser, but now it is possible to draw the application through other renderers, including native ones on the desktop or mobile devices or even on the server. Rendering in Angular2 explains in more detail how Angular 2 can use different renderers to do its job.

This separation of rendering from the main app has multiple benefits. An Angular 2 application can run on Node.js, being very fast, according to Brad Green, Engineering Director at Google. “You can run Photoshop in this environment, why not?” And Node.js provides the needed access to the file system, processes and hardware. Also, Angular 2 can run on the desktop via Angular Electron or on Microsoft’s UWP."
