react-native-background-geolocation VS react-native-navigation

transistorsoft/react-native-background-geolocation this libeary is paid so don't want to use that.

Hi, I have a location based app that would benefit greatly from the features this library https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-geolocation has. Otherwise I'd be building them all out myself with the basic geolocation service. It has a relatively high cost ($350 for one app), I'm curious if anyone has experience with it and if it's worth paying for.

https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-geolocation. Would you have this installed by chance?

The third party paid one that is well respected it seems is: https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-geolocation

react native isn’t great with background processing, so any processing/logic would probably have to happen in native code on each platform - probably would just go non-expo - you might be able to get away with using a module like https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-geolocation

Hi, I found this: https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-geolocation/issues/1149

Looks like this feature is not available (check here and here) yet. Good luck mate

another option is react-native-navigation which I haven't used yet but as the document says:

The behavior was reported in their issues 2 years ago: https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation/issues/6174

At this point don't have a clear preference over which package to use in my next project (react-navigation or react-native-navigation) - they both have strengths and weaknesses, one is easier to actually work with, one is faster in terms of execution, one has better APIs, docs, community, etc.

class Home extends React.PureComponent { constructor(props: Props) { super(props); Navigation.events().bindComponent(this); } closeMenu = () => { this._drawer.close(); }; openMenu = () => { this._drawer.open(); }; static options(passProps) { return { topBar: { rightButtons: [ { component: { name: 'MenuButton', passProps: { onClick: () => this.openMenu(), }, }, }, ], }, }; } render() { return ( ... ); }} Reference I got my passProps code from: https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation/issues/3648

Thanks! React Native to build the app. React Native Navigation from Wix to build the navigation so the app feels native.

There are two major navigation libraries in React Native world: react-navigation and react-native-navigation. They are both widely used among the community.

You can have a look at React Native Navigation: https://wix.github.io/react-native-navigation/

To navigate between screens, you will probably end up using the very popular React Navigation library. There is a great, purely native alternative, React Native Navigation (the names get confused easily), from Wix. It is super performant but not that flexible. Therefore, again: If your design asks you for something custom, you have no choice but to go with React Navigation; luckily, it is a great, well-documented option.
