react-native-mmkv VS react-native-skia

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.

Try react native mmkv https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-mmkv

It works wonderfully well for my react native app, see https://shopify.github.io/react-native-skia/ for details!

I stopped further tracking of the source code. As an end of this blog post, I would like to share my finding of the React Native Skia which brings the Skia Graphics Library to React Native. You can get more information from a Shopify Engineering blog Getting Started with React Native Skia. Hope it helps, see you next post.

This is the latest version of the issue (haven't had much luck getting support from the Skia team throughout this), I'm happy to get on a call to show you further if you have any experience with dealing with these monorepos or Skia for web. The moment we run a successful Next.js build I'll paypal you $250 on the spot.

The docs for react-native-skia docs seem spare and the only linked tutorials are in video form. Can anyone recommend any good written resources?

@wuba/react-native-echarts, An awesome charting library for React Native, built upon Apache ECharts and leveraging react-native-svg and react-native-skia. Offers significantly better performance compared to WebView-based solutions. If you want to learn more about the project's design principles, you can click here.

There's also React Native Skia.

yes this can be achieved using react-native-skia. Check it out link:https://shopify.github.io/react-native-skia/
