Flutter vs React Native

František Gažo

Why cross platform?

  • use existing programming talent
  • shared codebase
  • simplify development

Why NOT?

  • more technologies
  • more places to brake
  • one step behind

/

Build native mobile apps using JavaScript and React

Build beautiful native apps in record time

Native?

Same core principle

  • Flutter inspired by React

Declarative

React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes.

Component-Based

Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs.

Dart

setup

debugging

tooling

docs

widgets (OS version)

AOT, performance

JavaScript

Expo

MS CodePush

use existing widgets

mature

industry adoption

hot refresh/reload (no UI builder needed)

= fast iteration

= increased productivity

widgets!

use inside native app

Where's the catch?

/

  • more technologies, places for bugs, one step behind (as mentioned before)
  • background execution

  • missing features

Which one?

Depends

  • on devs
  • on features
  • on existing implementation (J2ObjC)

Thanks
