React Native Expectations vs Reality
CSS-Tricks
How about you?
Why I’m excited about React Native
Progressive Web App Mobile App Mobile App JavaScript Swift Java
Agenda! Expectations vs Reality for: 1. Learning Curve 2. Limitations 3. Debugging 4. Ecosystem 5. Performance
Introducing… our scale! 0 . . . . 5
#1 Learning Curve Expectation: 5
A lot of React concepts do apply!
Flexbox
Piniz a way to resolve a problem, usually technical and hidden
React Navigation
Write Learn once, use anywhere
Time-to-learn.
#1 Learning Curve Expectation: 5 Reality: 2
#2 Limitations Expectation: 4
“Pure” React Native React Native with “Create React Native App” and “Expo” vs. The decision.
Expo: NO native modules (without detaching)
Which compromises are you willing to do?
#2 Limitations Expectation: 4 Reality: 3
#3 Debugging Expectation: 5
Inspecting elements
Slooooow and it crashes often :(
Network Tab
#3 Debugging Expectation: 5 Reality: 1
#4 Ecosystem Expectation: 3
Multi-slider Component
Gallery Component
#4 Ecosystem Expectation: 3 Reality: 1
#5 Performance Expectation: 4 Reality: 5
#Sum up 1. Learning Curve 2. Limitations 3. Debugging 4. Ecosystem 5. Performance

React Native: Expectations vs Reality

353 views

Published on

I had a chance to be part of a team that started developing a decent size React Native mobile app from scratch. As a developer with a solid React background, I had some expectations at first. During my initial research, everything sounded terrific: performance stats, ease of development, learn-once-use-everywhere, debugging tools, etc. But is everything terrific really?

I'm excited to share my journey about how my expectations met the reality. I'll give my personal opinion about the matureness of the technology, for which use-cases it fits well and for which it doesn't. I'll also try to address the most popular misconceptions about React Native, which front-end developers usually have before they have the chance to actually built something.
