React Native Expo Go – Travel Personal Assistant App Development – Menu Container

Welcome to Part 13 of the React Native Expo Go – Travel Personal Assistant App series! In this session, we implement the Menu Container, a horizontal scrollable section that lets users filter content by categories like Hotels, Attractions, or Restaurants.

This component adds intuitive, tap-friendly filtering to the Discover screen—creating a more personalized travel experience.

✅ What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✔️ Building a responsive and scrollable horizontal menu
✔️ Using FlatList or ScrollView for horizontal layouts
✔️ Adding icons, labels, and styling for each menu item
✔️ Managing selected state to highlight active categories
✔️ Triggering data reload or UI updates based on menu selection

💡 Why This Step Matters:
🔹 Gives users control over what kind of travel data they see
🔹 Adds interactivity and structure to the Discover screen
🔹 Introduces key UI/UX patterns for mobile filtering
🔹 Prepares the app for conditional rendering of data (e.g., hotels vs food)
