react-native-elements VS Detox

Once we've set up the storage mechanism, building an email and password sign in flow becomes pretty straight forward. Install react-native-elements to get some nice cross platform button and input fields:

React Native Elements provides an all-in-one UI kit for creating a cross-platform application in React Native. It has over 23k stars on Github.

CSS-based UI libs don't make sense on mobile; your new options include NativeBase, React Native Elements and others). Some web-based UI libs do have RN siblings though - such as React Native Material and React Native Paper (for Material-UI), and tailwind-rn (for Tailwind). This just means new decisions to make, some learning, and new paradigms for how to use the new libs.

I have started using React Native Elements (https://reactnativeelements.com) for a new project.

Nope. Not even on 0.71 yet https://github.com/wix/Detox/issues/3884

This article offers an overview of React Native testing, but there’s so much more to learn! I encourage you to explore other testing techniques and tools, like Snapshot Testing, Detox, and React Native Testing Library. Choose the ones that work best for your project, and keep learning!

I used Detox to test React Native apps. At that time, Detox was so "cool", saving both the time and effort of the dev team and the tester team. However, later on, I saw the complexity, as well as the "difficulty" with new team members, and that's when Maestro came to me as a savior. I know Maestro through an article on dev.to, but my team's "noob" is true 😂 (but my teammates don't believe it).

End-to-end testing is completely different on React Native, however. None of the Selenium-based E2E testing tools will work; neither will newer tools like Cypress or Playwright. You may have expected this - these are all DOM-based, and there’s no DOM in React Native. So instead developers will have to learn Detox or Appium.

Detox is a testing and automation tool for React Native and React web applications. It can be used to automate the process of testing an iOS app by simulating user interactions and then verifying that the app functions as expected.

I haven't used it yet, but it seems detox is a fine e2e testing tool for react native. something like cypress in the web. I think it's a little hard to configure, but in the end, it's really helpful.

The standard is React Native Testing Library for unit and integration tests, and Detox for E2E tests.

We also improved our React Native support by adding the possibility to generate a Detox config for Expo applications.

Copy & paste the content of the equivalent file from the detox example app for RN, into it. Don't forget to change the package name to your project's package name.
