Authenticate React Native app with YouTube and list videos.

React Native has become really powerful than earlier. Everyday, there are a ton of components coming up, and the community is super active.

We were working on an internal project where we required to authenticate using YouTube’s oAuth. Once we authenticate the users, the app had to list down the YouTube videos liked by the user.

While the idea seemed feasible, this was a hack project of ours, and we did not want to spend a lot of time on it. So we found this gem of a component that helped us get the YouTube oAuth done faster.

The project is called react-native-youtube-oauth and is available on GitHub. The usage instructions are very simple.
