vuex VS react-native

Pinia is a relatively new state management tool for the Vue ecosystem. It is the new preferred state management tool recommended by the Vue core team replacing Vuex. Compared to Vuex, Pinia is type-safe by default (direct-vuex was needed to make Vuex type-safe), extremely lightweight, and modular by design (meaning you can create multiple stores instead of multiple modules inside one store, which optimises performance). Similar to Vuex, Pinia has state, computed properties (getters) and methods (mutations and actions). Read more about Pinia and its usage to understand the similarities and differences between Pinia and Vuex.

Vue.js also offers built-in features like animation and state management through Vuex which serve a wide range of development needs.

I really liked the idea of how all the core Vue libraries are maintained by Vue team themselves, making Vue feels like an all-in-one package instead of infinite npm install to add multiple community/personally maintained repos which often caused issues because they don't blend together. And now Pinia will be officially replacing Vuex, making me doubt if it'll be as reliable as Vuex.

Pinia. No discussion. Have you checked the Vuex website? It says Pinia is default. https://vuex.vuejs.org/

Vuex itself, tells you to not use it and use Pinia instead.

Vuex is a state management library. At first glance it seems complicated, and in fact it is a bit. You can use Vuex to store data that should be used globally in your app. Vuex provides you with a solid API to apply changes to this data and reflect them in all child components that use Vuex data store.

I encourage you to also go through Vuex's official documentation: https://vuex.vuejs.org/

And in cases where you need globally available data, best to use Vuex, Pinia, or a composable

What makes Vue particularly powerful, however, is that it can be built upon, increasing its functionality from a simple view-model library to that of a fully fledged JavaScript framework capable of powering entire SPA's via supporting plugins and libraries such as Vue Router, Vue Resource, and Vuex.

There was always a tiny sparkle in me telling me that I want to develop mobile apps but I never pursued it. It always felt a bit complicated for me to learn development processes in a completely different industry. I did try developing mobile apps using React Native but it never felt right for me. Also, I already tried to write some Kotlin code and so far I like it, but the whole Android ecosystem is still pretty new to me and I feel there will be a lot to learn. Nevertheless, I will try to learn it in parallel with Elixir but Elixir will be my primary goal, and Kotlin / Android will go along depending on how much time I will have.

Recently, there has been a notable shift in mobile application development practices. Rather than creating separate applications for each native platform, many developers are opting for hybrid mobile frameworks like React Native.

React Native [ https://reactnative.dev/ ]

Versatility: JavaScript is not limited to web browsers. It's used in a variety of environments, including mobile app development (using frameworks like React Native), game development (using libraries like Phaser), and even serverless computing (using platforms like AWS Lambda).

In the competitive landscape of mobile app development, user experience (UX) has emerged as a critical differentiator. React Native, with its robust framework and versatile capabilities, offers developers a powerful toolkit to create seamless and engaging user experiences. This blog post delves into the design principles and best practices in React Native app development, uncovering how developers can elevate user experience to new heights and drive success in the digital realm.

You can find the React Native documentation here and Flutter Documentation here.

Additionally, React Native, an extension of React.js, enables developers to create hybrid mobile applications with ease.

You don’t know what to do with your time while applying the 5th rule? Start small, tiny steps. If you can’t read much, start small, 15 minutes a day reading a technical article or even a book like Effective Java, by Joshua Bloch. You don’t like to read? Create small projects by using a framework you want to learn. Check for example: React framework.
