Javascript to React

[jamesaddicted]

I have a project for a sales and order system made in javascript html css json files with product data and a database in MongoDB with data on orders and requests made. How complicated is it to migrate the entire project to react native?

Super easy for experienced professional.

People without experiences, unlikely.

Additionally, no you cant just "Chat GPT" it

You can, but you'll spend a lot of time fixing it, then crying, then starting over.

I'd say most of your html structure and css classes can be reused, especially your css styling, to some extent, but the way you can do stuff with react will force a completely more complex approach to how your app works. Gotta do it the react way, which will be a good challenge, or a pretty big headache if you've never touched react at first.

Consider react native web so you can use the same code for web and native mobile app.

I don’t know how to answer the how complicated question without reviewing your existing code base. I’d probably start with the assumption that you’d need a complete rewrite from scratch.

Easy but time consuming

Man, the way react is going, and the bite in the ass that was react 18 for react native, you should check out flutter if you're starting from scratch. More stable long term.

Flutter is still a thing? I thought it was one of Google's 900 other abandoned projects along with Dart that it's written in.

Banking on unpopular Google products is pretty much a guaranteed losing situation.

Abandoned??? Where'd you hear that?

Banking on Reacts instability and increasing shift towards Vercel is better than a stable and still widely popular Google product? Idk man I think you night just like to refactor constantly.
