  • Tesla is looking for React Native engineers (Chapter II)
    2 projects | /r/reactnative | 18 May 2022
    Unsolicited Tesla React Native dev here based in Seattle. I work with u/scarlac on https://github.com/teslamotors/react-native-camera-kit. Tesla is solving some really cool problems in the mobile app space with RN at the moment. I've always felt like work / life balance was respected on my teams and it's super fun to work on such a compelling mission.
  • Qr code scanner for react native CLI?
    3 projects | /r/reactnative | 20 Jan 2022
    Hi everyone,it seems the most used one, react-native-qrcode-scanner, depends on a deprecated package, react-native-camera. Should i still install it and use this(is it even possible to install a deprecated npm package)?In the meanwhile i tried an other one, react-native-camera-kit, but the documentation seems lacking and incorrect. Am i already out of options here?should i just install react native camera even if deprecated?
