Ionic vs. React Native

- Inexpensively and rapidly creating multi-device (Android, iPhone) native apps. - Quick ramp-up time allows for rapid development. - Open source tools can be used to develop. - Lightweight code-based can be easily shared and developed in a team environment. - Use of React, Vue, and angular leverages well-known coding and application design frameworks that are transportable.

We are implementing React Native framework for the development of the Front-End for the machine learning models maintenance and monitoring website. It provides meaningful error messages, and time-saving and robust tools make it a premium choice over other platforms. Moreover, it provides intelligent debugging tools and error report mechanisms. And most importantly for us, it provides the aesthetic minimal functionality to learn in order to implement it, thereby eliminating the need to work in Xcode or Android Studio for iOS or Android apps respectively.

• Nice command line interface for repetitive development and deployment tasks.
• Realtime preview (in web browser) during development.
• Easy to update and keep current (open source) via command line.
• Provides nice set of mobile widgets for consistency across devices.

Incentivized

• Customized Components
• State Management
• Extensibility
• Usage and Community

• Slightly better documentation when it comes to command line build troubleshooting.
• Increased widget library (even though it's much improved today).
• Native chart/graphing widgets.

• sometime we need external repos to develop an feature
• external application may break the performance of the application while integrating with the React Native.
• external database connectivity can be handle better while we are implementing server-client validations.

React Native uses JavaScript in the frontend and hooks and functions in the backend to connect the database to the real-time application. It also does not need any external support for multilevel configuration for different platforms. In terms of usability, it perfectly holds the front-end and backend development with some external configuration if we require it in our business. Sometimes it requires more configurations and pathways to build a certain level of functionality for the end users, but every technology has a tough phase where a certain concept get lack of visibilty to the users.

Android Studio

• Busy
• Confusing
• Marginal IDE
• Large footprint
• Single device development

IonicFramework

• Lean, no IDE needed
• Web browser preview
• Multi-device development
• Scripting of build packages for deployment

Compared with Angular and Vue, Reactive Native doesn't have a steep learning curve, considering it is a complete solution, and mastering Angular and Vue requires one to learn associated concepts like TypeScript and MVC. In React, the same code base may be implemented for creating a UI element and dictating its behavior, thereby eliminating the over-engineering procedures and following programming paradigms like KISS, DRY and SOLID.

Incentivized

• The ability to create a mobile app quickly by a single developer (saving $20K).
• Increased customer satisfaction.
• Avoids outsourcing costs of $10k-$20k.

Incentivized

• Reduced time to implementation for both platforms
• One code base
• One delivery pipeline for both platforms
