What Is “Vibe Coding”?

Vibe coding is a new, informal term for writing software by talking to AI tools instead of typing code. In practice, a person simply describes a task in plain English (or another natural language) to a large language model (LLM) that’s been trained to write code. The AI then generates working source code to solve the task. As one summary explains, it shifts “the programmer’s role from manual coding to guiding, testing, and refining the AI-generated source code”.

In this tutorial, we are offering a React Native AsyncStorage example, inspired by our work on Instamobile’s React Native starter kits, including functional source code and step by step explanations.
