flipper VS react-native-quick-sqlite

Definitely switch to VS Code! I personally don't use the built in VS Code debugger, but check out Flipper as another option. It's got a lot of great tools and plugins for debugging. The Layout Inspector will be what you are looking for if you want to inspect the styling specifically.

I use Flipper with its Layout Inspector plugin

Also no folder show on sources filesystem (in Hermes Debugger) as described here: https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/4530

Very useful and beautiful and simply , my suggestion is to use this Flipper

You may also want to look into custom Flipper plugins to instrument your app.

Some development tools for the web are similar (Chrome debugger, mostly) to those for React Native, but other aspects are very different (working with the metro bundler, using Flipper, AsyncStorage debugging, more). Some techniques developers will use are the same (breakpoints and console logging), but others are different (knowing when to restart the packager vs reinstall the app on device).

from the GitHub, and has existed under the name flipper since mid 2018

It's not possible to use a browser to debug a JSI app, use Flipper (for android Flipper also has SQLite Database explorer).

Try to debug it with adb logcat or Android Studio or Flipper you'll find the error why is crashing :)

5. Quick SQLite

react-native-quick-sqlite if you know what you're doing and Know SQL it gives you more control over the database like executing custom SQL queries, or some advance things, you can use it with an orm like Typeorm.

Neither of the two: https://github.com/ospfranco/react-native-quick-sqlite

https://github.com/ospfranco/react-native-quick-sqlite with JSI bindings

If you decide to go to sqlite then https://github.com/ospfranco/react-native-quick-sqlite is the fastest one out there. You’ll have to write the sync logic your self (compared to watermelondb where it’s easier).

Oscar Franco created a great SQLite driver react-native-quick-sqlite, which provides a low-level API to execute SQL queries, fast bindings via JSI. JSI has a smaller overhead than the traditional RN bridge's. So, this is much faster than react-native-sqlite-2, which I made to get PouchDB to work on RN before.
