react-native-paper VS viro

In most cases they are wrappers around pure RN components (as I have been burnt by styling lib in the past - exactly NativeBase and its performance issues) and in the end, created components look like very light-weight version of RN paper components*:* https://github.com/callstack/react-native-paper/blob/main/src/components/Typography/Text.tsx.

Some that also come up are: * https://github.com/akveo/react-native-ui-kitten * https://github.com/draftbit/react-native-jigsaw/tree/master/packages/ui * https://github.com/callstack/react-native-paper * https://github.com/GeekyAnts/NativeBase * https://github.com/react-native-elements/react-native-elements

I'd say a good start would be to check the demos for NativeBase and Paper to compare the look/feel and see if they have all the components you need.

React Native Paper

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'll suggest going with native base and react native paper . As these are only 2 libraries up there which are efficient and give some good results.

Every time when I start to learn something new I usually have a look at popular open source project. So I can understand some good patterns etc. E.g. https://github.com/callstack/react-native-paper

ViroReact popped up on Hacker New recently. https://github.com/NativeVision/viro

I used https://github.com/ViroCommunity/viro

Hey, that's a great suggestion that I hadn't considered! I'm having a look at Viro to see if it can help with that.

As I said earlier, using react native you can develop for any platform and not limited to mobile. But its not as easy as it sounds like. For desktop apps, React native Windows is used which is maintained by folks at Microsoft, and still in active development, so a lot of things might change. For VR app, ViroReact is used, which is again is in active development. So its development is not as convenient as expo, and for someone new to react native, i won't suggest going that route. But once you are experienced, not one is stopping you and these are great technologies to develop native apps.

I have googled and found a few libraries regarding AR/VR for react native. It seems to me that viro media has: https://github.com/ViroCommunity/viro and looks okay, but it seems that they haven't released anything in a while. I'm trying to create an AR app that is retail focused like this: https://imgur.com/a/tUMgu1W

React Viro (https://virocommunity.github.io/ - the official viromedia one has been discontinued)

The best open source source code I know is: https://github.com/ViroCommunity/viro/blob/main/readmes/EXAMPLES.md It use javascript , react-native and you can compile it with android and ios But you will need to pay the dev license to google and appla you can use Transparent Videos , Text or 3D animations

Check out Viro. I used it a few years ago and it was pretty easy. Not sure on the quality now, but it’s at least worth a look: https://virocommunity.github.io/

Hey there, this library comes to mind for React Native: https://github.com/ViroCommunity/viro
