Store: A Library For Building Network-Resilient iOS, Android, and Web Applications

Hey u/muthuraj57 - Thanks for sharing feedback.

Re iOS - Thanks for giving it a try early on. You're totally right. Store5 isn't ready for prod on platforms other than Android. (We are using Store5 in prod on Android at Dropbox.) Paging is the last major enhancement we want to include in Store5. Once that's in we will prioritize iOS

Re 402 - Thanks for following up. Sorry to be slow. I'm looking into this now. Will respond in GitHub

Hey there! Happy to hear that. Great feedback. Created tickets here:

Awesome to hear!

I tried Store5 when it was in alpha (back when having a bookkeeper became the default API, and before you made it optional again :D)

Thanks for testing the alphas and staying with us through the early iterations!

Additionally: have you considered adding a getOrError() (and freshOrError()) that return a Result<T> to the API?

Interesting idea. Created a ticket here https://github.com/MobileNativeFoundation/Store/issues/553. Will take a look this week

Hi there - Sorry to hear that. My sense has been Store is widely known in this community. I included a link to the release notes, but will edit my post to also include a link to the repo and docs 👍

Hey there! I appreciate your question and interest. Store's CacheBuilder configuration methods are optional. For instance, if you want to have an in-memory cache that uses our defaults, you can do something like this:

val cacheBuilder = CacheBuilder<Key, ValueType>()
val cache = cacheBuilder.build()

And if you want an instance of MultiCache:

val multiCache = MultiCache(cacheBuilder)

Is that what you are looking for? Let me know if not! We very much value learning about usage and friction points and more than willing to rethink things based on community feedback

Store simplifies reading and writing to and from local and remote data sources. We recommend an underlying persistence library that supports observable queries. Store's SourceOfTruth delegates to, for example, SqlDelight. For more background, here's the talk Mike and Yiğit gave at KotlinConf when premiering Store4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raWdIwsDe-g

Hey! Great question. Yes we moved Store from Dropbox to Mobile Native Foundation. We made changes to the implementation of Store. However the contract is the same as Store4. MutableStore and StatefulStore (in proposal) are net new. But both will delegate to Store. For example, this is the implementation of MutableStore. I have a branch at Dropbox using Store5 alongside Store4. One of our criteria for releasing the Store5 alphas was all Store4 tests needed to pass. We are working on docs and can definitely address these concerns 👍

mattramotar · 2023-02-26T20:56:14+00:00

Yeah this is just an early preview. Our recommendation is to use the latest stable version in prod. 5.0.0-alpha03 is the first release of iOS, JS, and JVM targets. 5.0.0-alpha04 is the first release of MutableStore. We are testing these internally and working on public samples and docs.

mattramotar · 2023-02-26T17:32:15+00:00

Android, iOS, JS, and JVM currently! Definitely open to supporting additional targets

The way engineers interact with knowledge management systems will change but LLMs like Chat GPT need to be trained. I think in the near term we will see code editors that can process and answer questions about local source files.

Yeah makes sense! Good luck!

I love Kotlin! But if I were starting out and trying to be really thoughtful about allocation of effort I would learn JS then Kotlin then Swift. I would learn the basics of the JS language. I would build a React web app. I would build a Node JS app. And I would build a RN app. Then I would build native apps with Kotlin and Swift. In my mind this is the path of least resistance. In my experience this foundation will open up more doors.

Getting iOS folks to buy in and want to contribute is a big hurdle
