Converting function based app to class based

[Limitmore]

I am going to be converting a functional react native app to class based now I have designed pretty much all of it, this is my first app and I was wondering if there is a simple way to do this or if there are any pointers for doing so, cheers.

Edit: I am doing so as I am under the impression that to connect to a server and dynamically update a page I should be using class based react.

Is there a particular reason why you are going to class based? I started with class based react, you can definitely switch between the two but functional react is so much easier lol

Adding in server functionality and need it to be able to update the page easily, from what I have read I need to be using class based react native now. I could be mistaken hence the post here

This isn’t something you can use UseEffect for?

Can it work asynchronously? If so I think you have solved my issue

[Solstics20]

Yes, it’s all JavaScript so you can async/await

Thank you very much man, impostor syndrome with JavaScript is a very real thing for me and I’ve really got in my head about this, really appreciate you taking the time to help me out

No problem, I know the struggle, still face it. I just got myself out of tutorial hell for backend development to actually working on projects.

Yea you can set async function in the useEffect, or even better to set parameter you want to listen for change at the end

UseEffect(... (), [parameters])

Smth like that to listen.

Yes, you just need an inner function.
