How to create School Management System Mobile App with React native

Creating a school management system using React Native involves several steps, from planning the features to implementing and testing the app. Here's a high-level guide to get you started:

1. Define the Features

First, outline the features you want in your school management system. Common features include:

  • User Authentication: Admin, Teachers, Students, Parents
  • Dashboard: For quick overview and access
  • Student Management: Enrollments, attendance, grades, assignments
  • Teacher Management: Schedule, classes, attendance
  • Parent Portal: Access to student information, grades, and communication
  • Timetable Management: Class schedules
  • Notifications: Announcements, reminders
  • Communication: Messaging between teachers, students, and parents
  • Reports: Progress reports, attendance reports

2. Set Up Your Development Environment

Ensure you have the necessary tools installed:

  • Node.js
  • React Native CLI or Expo CLI (Expo is simpler for beginners)
  • Android Studio and Xcode (for Android and iOS development, respectively)

3. Initialize Your React Native Project

Using Expo CLI:

npx expo-cli init SchoolManagementSystem
cd SchoolManagementSystem
npx expo start
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Using React Native CLI:

npx react-native init SchoolManagementSystem
cd SchoolManagementSystem
npx react-native run-android
npx react-native run-ios
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4. Set Up Navigation

Install React Navigation for handling navigation within the app:

npm install @react-navigation/native
npm install @react-navigation/stack
npm install @react-navigation/bottom-tabs
npm install react-native-screens react-native-safe-area-context
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Set up the navigation structure (e.g., for a simple stack and tab navigation):

// App.js
import 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import * as React from 'react';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';
import { createBottomTabNavigator } from '@react-navigation/bottom-tabs';

// Import your screens here
import HomeScreen from './screens/HomeScreen';
import ProfileScreen from './screens/ProfileScreen';
import LoginScreen from './screens/LoginScreen';

const Stack = createStackNavigator();
const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator();

function HomeTabs() {
  return (
    <Tab.Navigator>
      <Tab.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
      <Tab.Screen name="Profile" component={ProfileScreen} />
    </Tab.Navigator>
  );
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Stack.Navigator>
        <Stack.Screen name="Login" component={LoginScreen} />
        <Stack.Screen name="HomeTabs" component={HomeTabs} />
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

5. Implement User Authentication

You can use Firebase for easy authentication:

npm install @react-native-firebase/app @react-native-firebase/auth
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Set up Firebase in your project and use it for user authentication. Here’s an example of how to handle user login:

// screens/LoginScreen.js
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { View, TextInput, Button, Text } from 'react-native';
import auth from '@react-native-firebase/auth';

export default function LoginScreen({ navigation }) {
  const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
  const [password, setPassword] = useState('');

  const handleLogin = () => {
    auth().signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
      .then(() => {
        navigation.navigate('HomeTabs');
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.error(error);
      });
  };

  return (
    <View>
      <TextInput placeholder="Email" value={email} onChangeText={setEmail} />
      <TextInput placeholder="Password" value={password} onChangeText={setPassword} secureTextEntry />
      <Button title="Login" onPress={handleLogin} />
    </View>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

6. Implement Core Features

Student Management Example

// screens/StudentList.js
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { View, Text, FlatList } from 'react-native';

export default function StudentList() {
  const [students, setStudents] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    // Fetch students from the database
    const fetchStudents = async () => {
      // Replace with your data fetching logic
      const studentsData = await fetch('https://your-api/students').then(res => res.json());
      setStudents(studentsData);
    };

    fetchStudents();
  }, []);

  return (
    <View>
      <FlatList
        data={students}
        keyExtractor={item => item.id}
        renderItem={({ item }) => <Text>{item.name}</Text>}
      />
    </View>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

7. Integrate Backend

You can use Firebase Firestore, a custom Node.js/Express backend, or any other backend service for data management. Ensure to handle CRUD operations for all entities (students, teachers, classes, etc.).

8. Testing

Test your app thoroughly on both Android and iOS devices. Use tools like Jest for unit testing and Detox for end-to-end testing.

9. Deployment

Once everything is set up and tested, you can deploy your app to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

10. Maintain and Improve

Regularly update your app with new features, improvements, and bug fixes based on user feedback.

This is a basic overview. Depending on your specific requirements, you might need to implement additional features or integrate other services.

User Authentication: Admin, Teachers, Students, Parents

To implement user authentication for different roles (Admin, Teachers, Students, Parents) in a React Native app, you can use Firebase Authentication along with Firebase Firestore to manage user roles. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Set Up Firebase

First, set up Firebase for your project. Go to the Firebase Console, create a new project, and set up Firebase Authentication and Firestore.

2. Install Firebase in Your React Native Project

Install the necessary Firebase packages:

npm install @react-native-firebase/app @react-native-firebase/auth @react-native-firebase/firestore
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Initialize Firebase in Your Project

Create a file firebase.js to initialize Firebase:

// firebase.js
import firebase from '@react-native-firebase/app';
import auth from '@react-native-firebase/auth';
import firestore from '@react-native-firebase/firestore';

const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  authDomain: "YOUR_AUTH_DOMAIN",
  projectId: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID",
  storageBucket: "YOUR_STORAGE_BUCKET",
  messagingSenderId: "YOUR_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID",
  appId: "YOUR_APP_ID",
};

if (!firebase.apps.length) {
  firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
}

export { firebase, auth, firestore };
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4. User Registration and Role Assignment

Create a registration screen where users can sign up and select their role:

// screens/RegistrationScreen.js
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { View, TextInput, Button, Picker, Text } from 'react-native';
import { auth, firestore } from '../firebase';

export default function RegistrationScreen({ navigation }) {
  const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
  const [password, setPassword] = useState('');
  const [role, setRole] = useState('Student');

  const handleRegister = () => {
    auth()
      .createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
      .then((userCredential) => {
        // Save user role in Firestore
        return firestore()
          .collection('users')
          .doc(userCredential.user.uid)
          .set({ role });
      })
      .then(() => {
        navigation.navigate('Login');
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.error(error);
      });
  };

  return (
    <View>
      <TextInput placeholder="Email" value={email} onChangeText={setEmail} />
      <TextInput placeholder="Password" value={password} onChangeText={setPassword} secureTextEntry />
      <Picker selectedValue={role} onValueChange={setRole}>
        <Picker.Item label="Admin" value="Admin" />
        <Picker.Item label="Teacher" value="Teacher" />
        <Picker.Item label="Student" value="Student" />
        <Picker.Item label="Parent" value="Parent" />
      </Picker>
      <Button title="Register" onPress={handleRegister} />
    </View>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

5. User Login and Role-Based Navigation

Create a login screen and handle role-based navigation:

// screens/LoginScreen.js
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { View, TextInput, Button, Text } from 'react-native';
import { auth, firestore } from '../firebase';

export default function LoginScreen({ navigation }) {
  const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
  const [password, setPassword] = useState('');

  const handleLogin = () => {
    auth()
      .signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
      .then((userCredential) => {
        // Fetch user role from Firestore
        return firestore()
          .collection('users')
          .doc(userCredential.user.uid)
          .get();
      })
      .then((userDoc) => {
        const role = userDoc.data().role;
        // Navigate based on user role
        if (role === 'Admin') {
          navigation.navigate('AdminHome');
        } else if (role === 'Teacher') {
          navigation.navigate('TeacherHome');
        } else if (role === 'Student') {
          navigation.navigate('StudentHome');
        } else if (role === 'Parent') {
          navigation.navigate('ParentHome');
        }
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.error(error);
      });
  };

  return (
    <View>
      <TextInput placeholder="Email" value={email} onChangeText={setEmail} />
      <TextInput placeholder="Password" value={password} onChangeText={setPassword} secureTextEntry />
      <Button title="Login" onPress={handleLogin} />
    </View>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

6. Role-Based Home Screens

Create different home screens for each role:

// screens/AdminHome.js
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';

export default function AdminHome() {
  return (
    <View>
      <Text>Admin Home Screen</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

// screens/TeacherHome.js
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';

export default function TeacherHome() {
  return (
    <View>
      <Text>Teacher Home Screen</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

// screens/StudentHome.js
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';

export default function StudentHome() {
  return (
    <View>
      <Text>Student Home Screen</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

// screens/ParentHome.js
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';

export default function ParentHome() {
  return (
    <View>
      <Text>Parent Home Screen</Text>
    </View>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

7. Set Up Navigation

Update your App.js to include role-based navigation:

// App.js
import 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import * as React from 'react';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';
import { createBottomTabNavigator } from '@react-navigation/bottom-tabs';

// Import your screens here
import RegistrationScreen from './screens/RegistrationScreen';
import LoginScreen from './screens/LoginScreen';
import AdminHome from './screens/AdminHome';
import TeacherHome from './screens/TeacherHome';
import StudentHome from './screens/StudentHome';
import ParentHome from './screens/ParentHome';

const Stack = createStackNavigator();

export default function App() {
  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Stack.Navigator initialRouteName="Login">
        <Stack.Screen name="Registration" component={RegistrationScreen} />
        <Stack.Screen name="Login" component={LoginScreen} />
        <Stack.Screen name="AdminHome" component={AdminHome} />
        <Stack.Screen name="TeacherHome" component={TeacherHome} />
        <Stack.Screen name="StudentHome" component={StudentHome} />
        <Stack.Screen name="ParentHome" component={ParentHome} />
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This setup provides a basic framework for user authentication and role-based navigation in your school management system app. You can expand on this by adding more features and improving the user interface and experience as needed.

Dashboard: For quick overview and access

To create a dashboard for a school management system in a React Native app, you'll need to display an overview of key information and provide quick access to various functionalities. Below is a step-by-step guide to create a simple dashboard with navigation to different sections like student management, teacher management, notifications, and reports.

1. Set Up the Dashboard Screen

First, create a new screen component for the dashboard.

DashboardScreen.js

// screens/DashboardScreen.js
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, Button, StyleSheet, ScrollView } from 'react-native';

export default function DashboardScreen({ navigation }) {
  return (
    <ScrollView style={styles.container}>
      <View style={styles.section}>
        <Text style={styles.header}>Dashboard</Text>
        <Text style={styles.subheader}>Quick Overview</Text>
      </View>

      <View style={styles.section}>
        <Text style={styles.sectionHeader}>Student Management</Text>
        <Button title="View Students" onPress={() => navigation.navigate('StudentList')} />
      </View>

      <View style={styles.section}>
        <Text style={styles.sectionHeader}>Teacher Management</Text>
        <Button title="View Teachers" onPress={() => navigation.navigate('TeacherList')} />
      </View>

      <View style={styles.section}>
        <Text style={styles.sectionHeader}>Notifications</Text>
        <Button title="View Notifications" onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Notifications')} />
      </View>

      <View style={styles.section}>
        <Text style={styles.sectionHeader}>Reports</Text>
        <Button title="View Reports" onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Reports')} />
      </View>
    </ScrollView>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    padding: 20,
  },
  section: {
    marginVertical: 10,
  },
  header: {
    fontSize: 24,
    fontWeight: 'bold',
    textAlign: 'center',
    marginBottom: 10,
  },
  subheader: {
    fontSize: 18,
    textAlign: 'center',
    marginBottom: 20,
  },
  sectionHeader: {
    fontSize: 20,
    fontWeight: 'bold',
    marginBottom: 10,
  },
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Update Navigation

Add the new Dashboard screen to your navigation stack in App.js.

App.js

// App.js
import 'react-native-gesture-handler';

        <Stack.Screen name="Reports" component={Reports} />
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Create Placeholder Screens for Navigation

Create placeholder screens for student list, teacher list, notifications, and reports.

StudentList.js

// screens/StudentList.js
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export default function StudentList() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text>Student List</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

TeacherList.js

// screens/TeacherList.js
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export default function TeacherList() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text>Teacher List</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Notifications.js

// screens/Notifications.js
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export default function Notifications() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text>Notifications</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Reports.js

// screens/Reports.js
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export default function Reports() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text>Reports</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4. Access Control Based on Roles

Modify the login process to navigate to the dashboard if the user is an admin or to other role-specific screens if needed.

LoginScreen.js (Updated)

// screens/LoginScreen.js
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { View, TextInput, Button, Text } from 'react-native';
import { auth, firestore } from '../firebase';

export default function LoginScreen({ navigation }) {
  const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
  const [password, setPassword] = useState('');

  const handleLogin = () => {
    auth()
      .signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
      .then((userCredential) => {
        // Fetch user role from Firestore
        return firestore()
          .collection('users')
          .doc(userCredential.user.uid)
          .get();
      })
      .then((userDoc) => {
        const role = userDoc.data().role;
        // Navigate based on user role
        if (role === 'Admin') {
          navigation.navigate('Dashboard');
        } else if (role === 'Teacher') {
          navigation.navigate('TeacherHome');
        } else if (role === 'Student') {
          navigation.navigate('StudentHome');
        } else if (role === 'Parent') {
          navigation.navigate('ParentHome');
        }
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.error(error);
      });
  };

  return (
    <View>
      <TextInput placeholder="Email" value={email} onChangeText={setEmail} />
      <TextInput placeholder="Password" value={password} onChangeText={setPassword} secureTextEntry />
      <Button title="Login" onPress={handleLogin} />
    </View>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This setup provides a basic dashboard screen that serves as an entry point for admins to quickly access different sections of the app. You can expand the dashboard with more detailed overviews and additional functionalities as needed.

Student Management: Enrollments, attendance, grades, assignments

To create a comprehensive Student Management system within your React Native app, you will need to handle various functionalities such as enrollments, attendance, grades, and assignments. Below, I'll outline the implementation for each of these features.

1. Setup Firebase Firestore for Data Storage

Ensure you have the necessary collections and documents in Firestore to store information related to students, attendance, grades, and assignments.

2. Student Management Screen

Create a main screen for student management where you can navigate to different functionalities.

StudentManagementScreen.js

// screens/StudentManagementScreen.js

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Button title="Enroll Students" onPress={() => navigation.navigate('EnrollStudent')} />
      <Button title="View Attendance" onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Attendance')} />
      <Button title="View Grades" onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Grades')} />
      <Button title="View Assignments" onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Assignments')} />
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Enrollments

Create a screen to enroll new students.

EnrollStudent.js

// screens/EnrollStudent.js
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { View, TextInput, Button, StyleSheet, Alert } from 'react-native';
import { firestore } from '../firebase';

export default function EnrollStudent() {
  const [name, setName] = useState('');
  const [email, setEmail] = useState('');

  const handleEnroll = () => {
    firestore()
      .collection('students')
      .add({ name, email })
      .then(() => {
        Alert.alert('Student enrolled successfully');
        setName('');
        setEmail('');
      })
      .catch(error => {
        Alert.alert('Error enrolling student', error.message);
      });
  };

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <TextInput placeholder="Name" value={name} onChangeText={setName} style={styles.input} />
      <TextInput placeholder="Email" value={email} onChangeText={setEmail} style={styles.input} />
      <Button title="Enroll Student" onPress={handleEnroll} />
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    padding: 20,
  },
  input: {
    height: 40,
    borderColor: 'gray',
    borderWidth: 1,
    marginBottom: 20,
    paddingHorizontal: 10,
  },
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4. Attendance

Create a screen to manage and view attendance.

Attendance.js

// screens/Attendance.js
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { View, Text, Button, FlatList, StyleSheet, Alert } from 'react-native';
import { firestore } from '../firebase';

export default function Attendance() {
  const [students, setStudents] = useState([]);
  const [attendance, setAttendance] = useState({});

  useEffect(() => {
    firestore()
      .collection('students')
      .get()
      .then(querySnapshot => {
        const studentsData = [];
        querySnapshot.forEach(documentSnapshot => {
          studentsData.push({ id: documentSnapshot.id, ...documentSnapshot.data() });
        });
        setStudents(studentsData);
      });
  }, []);

  const handleAttendance = (studentId, status) => {
    setAttendance({ ...attendance, [studentId]: status });
  };

  const handleSaveAttendance = () => {
    const today = new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0];
    const batch = firestore().batch();

    Object.keys(attendance).forEach(studentId => {
      const ref = firestore().collection('attendance').doc(`${studentId}_${today}`);
      batch.set(ref, { studentId, date: today, status: attendance[studentId] });
    });

    batch.commit()
      .then(() => {
        Alert.alert('Attendance saved successfully');
      })
      .catch(error => {
        Alert.alert('Error saving attendance', error.message);
      });
  };

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <FlatList
        data={students}
        keyExtractor={item => item.id}
        renderItem={({ item }) => (
          <View style={styles.student}>
            <Text>{item.name}</Text>
            <Button title="Present" onPress={() => handleAttendance(item.id, 'Present')} />
            <Button title="Absent" onPress={() => handleAttendance(item.id, 'Absent')} />
          </View>

7. Configure Notifee

To display local notifications, you need to configure Notifee in your project.

Create a notification channel for Android

// App.js
import notifee from '@notifee/react-native';

notifee.createChannel({
  id: 'default',
  name: 'Default Channel',
});

8. Request Permissions

Request notification

permissions when the app starts:

// App.js
import notifee from '@notifee/react-native';
import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';

useEffect(() => {
  async function requestPermission() {
    await notifee.requestPermission();
  }
  requestPermission();
}, []);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This setup provides a basic structure for managing notifications, including viewing and adding announcements and reminders. You can expand and refine these features based on your specific requirements and use cases.

Communication: Messaging between teachers, students, and parents

To implement a messaging feature for communication between teachers, students, and parents in your React Native app, you will need to create functionalities to send, view, and manage messages. Firebase Firestore can be used to store messages, and Firebase Authentication can handle user roles.

1. Setup Firebase Firestore for Data Storage

Ensure you have a collection in Firestore to store messages.

2. Install Required Libraries

Install the necessary Firebase packages:

npm install @react-native-firebase/app @react-native-firebase/auth @react-native-firebase/firestore
