react-native-web VS vite

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.

So the RN-R part is done by https://necolas.github.io/react-native-web/ and it's really good! However, there are some code that is kind of outside of the scope of React. Ie. Navigation, that's more in the realm of Next.

I don't have personal experience with this, but React Native Web claims to solve this issue: https://necolas.github.io/react-native-web/, not sure if anyone has had experience with this. Of course, you will have issues with dependency hell/package maintenance.

Another great option seems to be Flutter web. I was really impressed by the "batteries included" approach to Flutter, and Dart has a pretty comprehensive standard library. This is in contrast to React's "just find a random package on npm and pray it doesn't bite you in the future."

Obviously rewrites are expensive, but I personally think both approaches are worth considering versus abandoning native components completely. WebView isn't without problems (and also, you don't need React Native to use WebView).

For the frontend of "I Disappear," I leverage the automated build & deploy system provided by Netlify, which seamlessly integrates with Vite. This setup ensures that every deployment is optimized for performance, utilizing Vite’s modern build tools to enhance speed and efficiency.

Given our team's collective proficiency within the React ecosystem, we decided to leverage this expertise for our project. Initially, we contemplated utilizing Next.js; however, due to the limited practical experience with this technology among key engineers and the pressing timeline to develop the first prototype, we opted for a Single Page Application(SPA) approach. For bundling, we selected Vite, primarily due to its super fast build times, simplicity of configuration, and potential for a nearly seamless transition to server-side rendering.

We are continuing to add new project templates for various types of projects, and we've recently created one for the infamous combination of React with Vite tooling.

Vite focuses on providing an extremely fast development server and workflow speed in web development. It uses its own ES module imports during development, speeding up the startup time.

Vite and Next.js are both top 5 modern development framework right now. They are both great depending on your use case so we’ll discuss 4 areas: Architecture, main features, developer experience and production readiness. After learning about these we’ll have a better idea of which one is best for your project.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite' import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react-swc' import path from 'path' // https://vitejs.dev/config/ export default defineConfig({ plugins: [react()], server: { port: 3000 }, css: { devSourcemap: true }, resolve: { alias: { '~': path.resolve(__dirname, './src') } } })

I am currently utilizing Vite:

Homepage: https://vitejs.dev/

Without any adding any dependencies you can connect react props to raw css at runtime with nothing but css variables (aka "custom properties"). If you add CSS modules on top you don't have to worry about affecting the global scope so components created in this way can be truly modular and transferrable. I use this with vite.

Little confused as to why it has vite in it‘s name, it seems unrelated to https://vitejs.dev/
