react-native-vector-icons VS react-native-web

Next install the react-native-vector-icons as it's a peer dependency of the library.

react-native-vector-icons is a powerful library that lets you incorporate a variety of icons into your React Native app, boosting design and user experience. You can select icons from popular sets like FontAwesome, Material Icons, Ionicons, and many more. Explore available icons here.

I got this error when I was importing from a library such as react-native-vector-icons:

React Native Vector Icons

I don't even remember where I downloaded Feather.tff but the codepoints are different from this one and this one. But maybe you have the same font I do installed? Does fc-match ':family=Feather' show a result?

I tried 'RNVectorIcons' package in my react native project using the following link react-native-vector-icons.I used pod install command in my terminal.But I got the following error in my terminal window.

React native autolink not working for react native vector icons. I fixed this into android with this https://github.com/oblador/react-native-vector-icons/issues/1035

Tip: although I used a Text component to make the X button, I strongly recommend you to use an icon instead. A very good library for that purpose is React Native Vector Icons

Also thanks to oblador for making the library and the original directory, I use(d) it pretty much every day!

If you're still on the fence, the rise of Universal React Apps is a really exciting space that is further closing the gap between React and React Native. Universal React libraries and tooling, usually powered by react-native-web enable you to create cross-platform applications that run on iOS, Android, and the Web all from a shared React Native codebase. This lets you share navigation, styling, state management, and business logic saving you time and effort while respecting the unique conventions of each device type.

React Native for Web

maybe https://necolas.github.io/react-native-web/? https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/examples/with-react-native-web/README.md

I am following a tutorial that is 4 years old that states that react native 0.55.4 is last compatible with react native web and anything later is not compatible yet. He showed the documentation page in the video as his source.

Personally, if you're trying to find a stack that can be applied everywhere with Next.js as your chosen framework, best bet would be React Native Web or similar. Which would let you share the maximum amount of frontend code between Web, iOS, and Android. Then you could reach for electron (barf) or something to bundle it for desktop if that was a requirement.

Some of the top cross-platform frameworks do have support for web targets. React-Native-Web and Flutter on the Web are both ways to target the web with your cross-platform app.

https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web/discussions/2201 it can be done.

If you want a single codebase for web and mobile I would look into react-native and react-native-web. You could probably code the web app with react-native-web, make it responsive and build it through react-native for mobile. Designing an app for mobile and for web can lead to significant difference though since the experience is quite different. Some things might make sense for a mobile and not for a desktop or the opposite. So I wouldn't discard completely the idea of having separate codebases. Highly depends on the app though, totally valid for many use cases.

Another fun thing you could do is build it for mobile + web using React-Native through Expo or manually with https://necolas.github.io/react-native-web/

If you're using Expo (which I assume most are on RN) they have web support. This is via React Native Web, which is a separate project if you wanted to use that directly too.

Personally though, I've found the DX of Flutter far above RN. I always had random packages break on RN that I had to fix every time, while with Flutter most of what you need is already included in the framework, including a component UI library for Android and iOS.
