You mention costs involved when using Realm - I think it would be fair to have also mentioned that this is only when you actually perform sync. It's a perfectly capable open-source local-first database, that developers can use, free of charge, if they don't need to sync the data between devices. (full disclosure - I work on the Realm JS team)
I think the main problem with Realm for react native is an incomplete and inconsistent documentation and a typescript support that could be better. I admire its power but I quickly hit the wall every time I want to do something.
I was very interested by this but there seems to be very little information online regarding the usage of the two. If you have anything to share about using these together, please do!
Is it possible to use AWS service to store SQL data? I am currently storing the data in localhost and I couldn’t find any video that can guide me to migrate localhost data to any AWS sql storage service. I am using react native expo. Also is it possible to implement AWS cognito for authentication for my app?
for my side project i went with sqlite and will implement my own sync at some point. watermelon seemed like too much overhead for my simple app, and i didnt want to use nosql so pouchdb and realm are out of the picture. ill use mmkv if i need local storage
Great information! I am using expo-sqlite, but with the new 14.0.3 update suitable for the Expo 51 sdk, I am facing an error related to read and write issues when doing an insert into a pre-populated database. Look at this: error... [Error: Call to function 'NativeStatement.finalizeAsync' has been rejected. → Caused by: Error code: attempt to write a readonly database] Do you have any idea about this mistake ?
could you cover react-relay-offline ? it seems like the best option for offline storage plus graphql communication with the server (it can batch mutations while offline, for instance, something other clients such as URQL cannot)
@@Tyrone-Ward yeah that's true. However there are issues with installing some rn/expo libraries even at the beginning. In those cases, control is necessary right? I'm just asking for opinions on this.
@@sohamdas4343In deed expo can give you that control by “ejecting” the project that will create two native projects with everything in place, you will loose some features like running with the Expo Go app but gain fine control, it’s more about when and why you want that level of control, with that in mind I would start with Expo for faster prototyping and eject if I need very specific native capabilities, the only reason I would start with React Native is, if I need to consume legacy libraries or specific ones like Firebase

@@poria3547 Agreed, I've found that realm docs (and Mongo docs in general) are really lacking.
@@poria3547I was the same and ended up moving to supabase because of it. The amount of login and auth issues it caused was madness
A very worthy mention is ElectricSQL with supabase. It's 0$ to start and infinitely scalable also. Works well with all the supabase ecosystem.

Can we use this in expo
rn I'm using "appwrite" lol
5:30 the video begins (without expo!) CLI rules!
Your are my Idol of react native expo.
I came from THAILAND but i love you tutorial very much.
Thank you so much 😀
Very helpful. I have implemented non-consumable in-app purchase easily through this video. thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, very informative
You are welcome!
Can you demo how to use the cloudfare R2 object storage for a react native app pls? Thanks, Simon :) Your clips are always world class!

Great, this content was helpful! Thanks Simon.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm curious why you don't want to use a nosql solution? mmkv isn't sql either?
Amazing review! It would be great to see similar comparison for other packages.
Noted!
Hello simon, please one tutorial offline async db!.
I just have to like this before watch; as I always get better 😊
Thank you mate!

Do you have any idea about this mistake ?
This is very useful information, thank you for sharing.
After you developed the app how you make the app go live? Make it accessible in google playstore or ios.
hey, thank you so much for your videos sir. Please make some videos on expo filesystem and deep link. cant find any on youtube.
could you cover react-relay-offline ? it seems like the best option for offline storage plus graphql communication with the server (it can batch mutations while offline, for instance, something other clients such as URQL cannot)
do people use mongoose in native?
Can you do supabase offline-first approach? is it even possible?
Good question, will have to look into that!
AsyncStorage doesn't work on iOS
when will you make for ionic?
I already have similar videos for Ionic :)
So which solutions is best for storing video file for offline viewing
Filesystem should be used to store files!
@@galaxies_dev most of the contents I see talk about how to use it to do the actual downloading. But what I need is TH-cam like offline download
Just a question...why do you suggest to start with expo though? Asking because bare rn allows more manual control over the app
When you’re just getting started, “control” isn’t nearly as important as ease of use. Expo is unmatched for ease of use.
I did a video on that topic before: th-cam.com/video/q-sKCsscIsc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SimonGrimm

I wonder how to implement multilevel comment in a list in React Native Sir😊
Hmm probably some sort of tree component?
@@galaxies_dev the comment that can be commented by others
Does react native notifications now work in Expo?
Sure!
How can supabase be left out here
My bad - but more RN Supabase content coming soon!
REALM!
Bye realm 😢
No love for supabase Simon?!
Haha love it, thought it was still considered too niche 😂
Supabase bro
💯
