Building a Netflix Clone - React Tutorial - Styled Components - Firebase (Firestore & Auth)

The stack you will use: React (custom hooks, context, portals), Firebase (Firestore/auth), Compound & Styled components!

In this React Tutorial, we will build a Netflix clone! This React project has multiple pages: Home, Browse (which uses Firebase authentication), sign in, and sign up. The sign in will connect to Firebase when a user tries to sign in, and when a user signs up, we will use Firebase auth to store the user in the Firebase auth database. I build this app using React and uses Styled Components for all the styling we implement. You will need knowledge of React (useEffect, useState, useContext) and you will need JavaScript knowledge for using higher order functions such as map, filter, reduce, and find. We will use Fuse.js for live search, and we will test all our components using React Testing Library. And of course we will use React router for navigation!

I will build this React tutorial from scratch using Create React App. I walk you through initialising your application, right to the finished Netflix clone. Enjoy this front end development tutorial.

How native is React Native? | React Native vs Native App Development

If you are undertaking a mobile app development for your start-up or enterprise, you are likely wondering whether to use React Native. As a popular development framework, React Native helps you to develop near-native mobile apps. However, you are probably also wondering how close you can get to a native app by using React Native. How native is React Native?

In the article, we discuss the similarities between native mobile development and development using React Native. We also touch upon where they differ and how to bridge the gaps. Read on.

A brief introduction to React Native

Let’s briefly set the context first. We will briefly touch upon what React Native is and how it differs from earlier hybrid frameworks.

React Native is a popular JavaScript framework that Facebook has created. You can use this open-source framework to code natively rendering Android and iOS mobile apps. You can use it to develop web apps too.

Facebook has developed React Native based on React, its JavaScript library. The first release of React Native came in March 2015. At the time of writing this article, the latest stable release of React Native is 0.62.0, and it was released in March 2020.

Although relatively new, React Native has acquired a high degree of popularity. The “Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019” report identifies it as the 8th most loved framework. Facebook, Walmart, and Bloomberg are some of the top companies that use React Native.

The popularity of React Native comes from its advantages. Some of its advantages are as follows:

Performance: It delivers optimal performance.
Cross-platform development: You can develop both Android and iOS apps with it. The reuse of code expedites development and reduces costs.
UI design: React Native enables you to design simple and responsive UI for your mobile app.
3rd party plugins: This framework supports 3rd party plugins.
Developer community: A vibrant community of developers support React Native.

Why React Native is fundamentally different from earlier hybrid frameworks

Are you wondering whether React Native is just another of those hybrid frameworks like Ionic or Cordova? It’s not! React Native is fundamentally different from these earlier hybrid frameworks.

React Native is very close to native. Consider the following aspects as described on the React Native website:

Access to many native platforms features: The primitives of React Native render to native platform UI. This means that your React Native app will use many native platform APIs as native apps would do.
Near-native user experience: React Native provides several native components, and these are platform agnostic.
The ease of accessing native APIs: React Native uses a declarative UI paradigm. This enables React Native to interact easily with native platform APIs since React Native wraps existing native code.

Due to these factors, React Native offers many more advantages compared to those earlier hybrid frameworks. We now review them.

Start Your Own White Label Netflix Clone App Development

Even before the pandemic, apps such as amazon prime and Netflix have created such an impact in the entertainment industry because of their unique contents and ad-free services. Netflix is an online video streaming app where many production companies use this as a platform to release their videos online to be viewed by the audience or the app itself produces its contents and releases it online.

Steps To Develop A Streaming App Like Netflix

Before getting into Netflix like app development, there are certain steps to follow to formulate the entire app which involves researching the target audience, the type and the source of the content etc. need to be known before getting into the technical aspects of it. Let us see how to approach a Netflix clone.

Step 1: Know Your Forte

The first thing to decide and lockdown is what kind of content is going to be up on the app. There are three types of content such as:

Entertainment
Fitness
Education

Step 2: Source Of Content

After deciding on what kind of contents is going to be put up on the app, the next step is to devise the ways these contents are coming in. again there are two ways of doing it.

Getting videos from other distributors
Making your content

Step 3: Choose Your Revenue Source

Netflix clone apps can have their revenues peak up by the number of users using the app. The users have to subscribe to any plan provided to view their contents. The types of subscriptions available are:

Pay per view.
Subscription
Advertisement

Step 4: Implement Technology That Offers Better App Performance

What is the point of having all the contents required by the users are made available but is not easily accessible due to technical glitch? It is essential to address these issues as well and take steps to optimize them.

Internet speed is an important attribute to look at.
Cloud computing is done so that the access of video contents of the app becomes easy and simple.

Step 5: Target Audience

One can find their target audience on social media networks like Facebook, Instagram etc. and also on YouTube. Videos promoting the content must be posted in these apps and that will attract the interested users who are potentially the long term customers. Even attractive newsletters can be sent to potential customers.

Conclusion

Netflix-like app development involves a lot of attractive features like user-friendly applications, easy payment process and enhanced search results etc. Turnkey Town offers white labelled Netflix clone which is customized according to the client’s needs and gives the best product at the right time at a budget-friendly cost.
