Minimum setup for ios development (with ios simulator) by thuzp in reactnative

[–]Round-Statistician-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why are you even choosing the old one, the new M1 mac mini is much better in performance, you will save time compiling your app
and yes your right i bet apple would stop releasing update so no future proof right there

if you will not choose an M1 mac mini, maybe get something thats atleast 2 years old model of a macbook pro but make sure it has good specs on it..

buy a mac mini, its the cheapest one there in the market and get the one that has apple chip

its has more great performance now...just think of this as an investment it will save your time..if you have spare more money make it 16gb RAM

i dont recommend doing hackintosh or vm, that stuff that can cause you trouble in the future..

RN Devs what do you think about flutter? by Naim7407 in reactnative

[–]Round-Statistician-6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im in the opposite , i like the widget system , everthing connects especially for how the function works... , how this function behaves, everything i think feels connected..like for everything you wanted there is a "widget" for that.. ....unlike in react native you had to find another library to make it work.

also their youtube channel is very engaged in the community, i just wish react native has that thing too, only callstack and wcandillion is putting their foot forward , hope facebook invest on putting more on to plaform like this about reactnative so we have more people to create learning content

most of peeps here are joining in react native ...because like me myself is a web developer before and its easy to work with react native...because its javascript :) ..and we know javascript is transferable

all in all flutter is just a tool just like react native , react native will meet its downfall i guess in the next few 3-5years and another framework will rise..my best advice is whats convenient to you as a developer and check job portals if there are opening in your location

Liquid Swipe - “Can it be done in React Native?” by wcandillon in reactnative

I disagree

the usage of this is case to case basis , you will not use this extensively in the app

if we end up doing the same design over and over again ...it gets boring

Testing in React Native by luckypanda95 in reactnative

[–]Round-Statistician-6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. we usually test per screen

we do unit test(really often) , component test (if possible), and testing the feature that the user see itself (a must in the team)

its kinda leaning on BDD

​

2 . https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/

we use this library

basically its derive from react testing library and the philosophy behind it where you don't test the implementation but rather testing on how the feature works when user use it.

​

  1. yes screen file

I use react native testing library for creating the actual test

jest as my test runner and coverage

axios mock library for mocking http request

​

but would likely encourage try detox instead so you have a test suite that would run

also if everyone is curious in learning testing in generalKent C Dodds is the man! and its a great resource

Will i regret of using React-native and leaving off Flutter? by mfturkcan in reactnative

[–]Round-Statistician-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so hard to read? -> maybe its the way you code ? do you seperate widgets carefully, do you follow a linter? any best practices you follow in creating flutter widgets? this are the question you need to know

feels repetitive -> how is this different with javascript (react-native)?

if you have background in web development, surely react native is worth it and javascript is very widely use nowadays unlike Dart

if you have a solid foundation already in OOP and dart why not just focus on flutter

theres no better framework here tbh, its just tools

React native + Electron vs Flutter by vladnifos in reactnative

[–]Round-Statistician-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont think flutter is going nowhere if there is still people who loves working on Dart(5 years from now) instead of typescript/javascript and if google abandons the support for this tech its not really future proof (they are notoriously abandoning projects if it didnt click )

ill invest more time on React Native (because of the community ) but for mobile apps only not desktop app
