restyle VS react-native-mmkv

I’ve just rebuilt my React Native app template with shopify restyle and Expo 48.

I use Restyle https://shopify.github.io/restyle/ since I discovered it, my code is so much cleaner. I have tried NativeBase before, it was really good but it has a very bad performance.

Restyle is my personal favorite. It’s strongly inspired by the amazing, albeit a bit outdated, styled-system for web, but is fully type-safe and has amazing customization options.

I personally prefer Restyle

If you are building out your own custom components use restyle https://github.com/Shopify/restyle

Forget CSS pseudo-elements and selectors; in React Native, we inline the styles. The recommended approach is to use a StyleSheet object, but I enjoy using Styled Components in a similar way as on the web. If you are a fan of styled systems, Restyle from Shopify is gaining popularity.

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
