react-native-bootsplash VS react-native-mmkv

The React Native Bootsplash library is a great option for adding splash screens and app icons to mobile applications. It comes with a CLI that can be leveraged to generate a splash screen and app icons on the fly. Let’s take a closer look.

I recommend you to use https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash as the latest version will use android splash screen API.

I have used both react-native-splash-screen and react-native-bootsplash and prefer the latter. https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash

As the title suggests I went through the setup process for the react-native-bootsplash library and Android is working perfectly. The splash screen shows up and does not dismiss since I have not called the hide method.

Personally I really recommend https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash.

🤖 Auto generate App Icon using react-native-make and Splash screen using react-native-bootsplash

it's defined right here : https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash/blob/master/android/src/main/java/com/zoontek/rnbootsplash/RNBootSplashModule.java

In this tutorial, let's learn how to use an awesome package called react-native-bootsplash to display a splash screen when an app starts and then learn the process of adding app icons in a React Native app.

I want to recommend everyone to use https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash instead. Much more maintained and stable. 100% my go-to in every project.

React Native Bootsplash

react-native-mmkv is a wrapper around MMKV that allows you to easily implement secure storage in your app. It is arguably the fastest key-value storage for React Native apps

Why do you need to access the db from the file system? Can you just use something like https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-mmkv ?

By using libraries like Reanimated, React Native MMKV, and React Native Skia, you leverage the native thread. However, I know there are developers building amazing things who think outside the box. I'm always thrilled when I read engineering blogs from companies like Netflix, Meta, and Shopify. They create solutions beyond the limits.

mmkv is not really designed to be used for “heavy” writes, or often changing values. But more as e.g. NSUserDefaults. The storage keeps growing over time which may cause memory issues if used wrongly. Here’s a related github issue: https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-mmkv/issues/440

Persistence - React Native MMKV (supports encryption natively and easily integrates with TanStack Query via persistQueryClient)

if you need to store something small and simple use whatever. if is complex and speed is important use something performant. realmDB, https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-mmkv and others are good fit for the job.

Screw you all, I'll use MMKV as my Local DB: please do not, as explained here.
