There’s a discussion about it happening at the moment here. What are some things that you don’t like about React Native or that need to be improved? Learning React Native by Bonnie Eisenman was really helpful too. We have mostly used official documentation and tutorials by Spencer Carli and Nader Dabit. What resources have you used to learn React Native? Books, tutorials, courses etc. Many more are used too, like react-native-navigation, react-native-fast-image, redux, etc. Reactotron is great for logging and inspecting, as is CircleCI for building. We also use Storybook on a few components (we’re working to apply it to all of them, as it adds more tests than on Jest). We use Jest and Detox for testing (currently 219 tests have passed on Detox), ESLint for linting. We’re still using JavaScript, but willing to refactor everything on TypeScript. Which tools, libraries and frameworks are part of your development process with React Native? We have been shipping features at a fast pace since then and it’s been incredibly easy. All of that with multiple servers ability. In the first two weeks, we built a prototype with authentication, chat list, chat room, send messages and create channel. There is still two separate teams for native (one for iOS and one for Android) and one smaller team for React Native. I wouldn't say it has affected anything as React Native is an experiment for us to see how far it can go to potentially reach our expectations and our native apps remain the official ones. How has adopting React Native affected developer productivity? There is a great talk by Ram N at Chain React 2018 about these issues. That said, FlatList and TextInput have performance issues as well. We require only necessary views at first and then inline requiring views as needed, but it still takes 100-200ms to fully start up.Ī chat platform in its simpler way consists of lists of rooms/messages and text inputs. We’re aware of startup time as a known issue of React Native since its creation. What has your experience been working with React Native in terms of app performance, have you noticed any impacts? It was stable and functional, but we decided to switch to native some time ago and now we’re going for React Native. Yes, we had a Cordova app even before creating our native versions. Watch this space! Have your tried other cross platform technologies before using React Native? We still have iOS and Kotlin official versions on the stores, but we’re planning to add React Native inside of them in near the future. We started with a greenfield app and we already use JavaScript on back-end and front-end, so it was pretty straightforward.

Using React Native will allow us to compile each app’s code to run inside our React Native app.Īfter a few months of development, we decided to release our results as Rocket.Chat Experimental on the App Store and Google Play and we’re still shipping new features every week. We are also working on Rocket.Chat Apps, an app store for our main platform. We decided to evaluate React Native because we wanted to try its benefits for development productivity, such as shared code between mobile and web while maintaining our native look and feel. What made you decide to use/switch to React Native? With more than 800 developer-contributors and over 21k stars on Github, Rocket.Chat has the largest and most active community of chat developers in the open source communication sector.
