MVC, MVP, MVVM in React Native: what survives the trip

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
React Native supports the model/use-case layer, but classic MVC, MVP, and MVVM assumptions do not map cleanly.
Object-based views, framework-managed event flow, and two-way binding are mostly missing in React Native.
As a result, controllers and presenters often collapse into hooks and component state.
Teams should avoid forcing old UI patterns onto React Native and put logic where the framework naturally supports it.
