Flutter or React Native, a cross-platform dilemma | FEVR

Nowadays the hype around Flutter is raising a lot. But what about the “(not so) old-fashioned” React Native? In this talk, we will see the basics and the differences between the two frameworks. In particular, we will understand how to build User Interfaces and how the internals of the two framework works. Finally, we will try to understand when and why to choose a cross-platform framework and which of the two. All this journey is based on the true story of an Android Developer that he wanted to explore the cross-platform jungle both for work and fun reasons.

  5. React Native • Javascript • ☠ for Object Oriented Devs:

    • Type Conversion • Sometimes silently fails • Prototype based inheritance • Ecosystem Confusion
  6. Flutter • Dart, invented by Google in 2011 • Object

    Oriented friendly • e.g strongly typed but type can be inferred • Flat learning curve for OO devs • Mobile -> compiles to ARM and x86 code • Web -> transpiles to Javascript
  7. UI

  8. // React Native import React from "react"; import { StyleSheet,

    Text, View } from "react-native"; export default class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <View style={styles.container}> <Text>Hello world!</Text> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, backgroundColor: "#fff", alignItems: "center", justifyContent: "center" } });
  9. // React Native import React from "react"; import { StyleSheet,

    Text, View } from "react-native"; export default class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <View style={styles.container}> <Text>Hello world!</Text> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, backgroundColor: "#fff", alignItems: "center", justifyContent: "center" } }); // Flutter import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp( Center( child: Text( 'Hello, world!', textDirection: TextDirection.ltr, ), ), ); }
  10. // React Native import React from "react"; import { StyleSheet,

    Text, View } from "react-native"; export default class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <View style={styles.container}> <Text>Hello world!</Text> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, backgroundColor: "#fff", alignItems: "center", justifyContent: "center" } }); // Flutter import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp( Center( child: Text( 'Hello, world!', textDirection: TextDirection.ltr, ), ), ); }
  11. // React Native import React from "react"; import { StyleSheet,

    Text, View } from "react-native"; export default class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <View style={styles.container}> <Text>Hello world!</Text> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, backgroundColor: "#fff", alignItems: "center", justifyContent: "center" } });
  12. // React Native import React from "react"; import { StyleSheet,

    Text, View } from "react-native"; export default class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <View style={styles.container}> <Text>Hello world!</Text> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, backgroundColor: "#fff", alignItems: "center", justifyContent: "center" } });
  13. // React Native import React from "react"; import { StyleSheet,

    Text, View } from "react-native"; export default class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <View style={styles.container}> <Text>Hello world!</Text> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, backgroundColor: "#fff", alignItems: "center", justifyContent: "center" } });
  14. // React Native import React from "react"; import { StyleSheet,

    Text, View } from "react-native"; export default class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <View style={styles.container}> <Text>Hello world!</Text> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, backgroundColor: "#fff", alignItems: "center", justifyContent: "center" } });
  15. // React Native import React from "react"; import { StyleSheet,

    Text, View } from "react-native"; export default class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <View style={styles.container}> <Text>Hello world!</Text> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, backgroundColor: "#fff", alignItems: "center", justifyContent: "center" } }); Components • Basic UI building blocks • Fit together to form a custom component • Domain specific language called JSX • Customisable with CSS • Or better “usually match how CSS works on the web”
  16. // React Native import React from "react"; import { StyleSheet,

    Text, View } from "react-native"; export default class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <View style={styles.container}> <Text>Hello world!</Text> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, backgroundColor: "#fff", alignItems: "center", justifyContent: "center" } }); // Flutter import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp( Center( child: Text( 'Hello, world!', textDirection: TextDirection.ltr, ), ), ); }
  17. // Flutter import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp( Center( child:

    Text( 'Hello, world!', textDirection: TextDirection.ltr, ), ), ); }
  18. // Flutter import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp( Center( child:

    Text( 'Hello, world!', textDirection: TextDirection.ltr, ), ), ); }
  19. // Flutter import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp( Center( child:

    Text( 'Hello, world!', textDirection: TextDirection.ltr, ), ), ); }
  20. // Flutter import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp( Center( child:

    Text( 'Hello, world!', textDirection: TextDirection.ltr, ), ), ); } • Basic UI building blocks • Takes inspiration from RN • Everything is a Widget Widgets
  21. Components vs Widgets: Summary • React Native: jumps from Javascript

    to JSX • Flutter: remains in the Dart context • Possibility of UI modularisation
  22. Components vs Widgets: Summary • React Native: jumps from Javascript

    to JSX • Flutter: remains in the Dart context • Possibility of UI modularisation
  23. State Management • You should do it! • Separation of

    presentation logic from business logic • Data sync from different components/widget
 
 … • React Native: “Naive method”, Redux, .. • Flutter: “Naive method”, Scoped Model, BLoC, Redux, ..
  24. Declarative UI • Imperative style: retrieve an instance from the

    view owner and update it based on the new state • Describe the current UI state and the framework manages state changes
  25. Jetpack Compose • Kotlin based • Composable function that transform

    application data to UI hierarchy import androidx.compose.* import androidx.ui.core.* @Composable fun Greeting(name: String) { Text ("Hello $name!") }
  26. React Native • Core: an infrastructure, aka “Bridge” built at

    runtime • It lets native code call JS and viceversa • Your code run inside a JS Virtual Machine: JavaScriptCore • Included in iOs, bundled on Android
  27. Hermes • New JavaScript engine optimised for running React Native

    apps on Android • Improves startup time, application size and memory usage https://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog/2019/07/17/hermes
  28. React Native • Core: an infrastructure, aka “Bridge” built at

    runtime • It lets native code call JS and viceversa • Your code run inside a JS Virtual Machine: JavaScriptCore • Event driven
  29. • Event driven Event Serialized Payload Process Event Process Command

    Serialized Response Call native methods App opening [1, 1, [‘My App’, {}]] [[2, 3, [2, ‘View’, {…}]],
 [2, 3, [3, ‘View’, {…}]]] val view = View()
 val view = TextView() Render new Views
  30. • Calls passed between JS to Native in a “batched

    asynchronous way” • quequed in the MessageQueue -> flushed every 5 ms by default • Event driven
  31. New RN Architecture • React Native team is working on

    a new architecture: Fabric • High priority UI updates synchronously • No more bridge and serialisation • JSI (JavaScript Interface) between JS and Native Code https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcqRXTriUVI
  32. Flutter • Dart code compiled into native, ARM and x86

    libraries • Widgets are managed and rendered using a C++ engine Framework (Dart) Engine (C++) Skia Dart Text Material Cupertino Widgets Rendering Animation Painting Gestures Foundation
  33. Flutter • Dart code compiled into native, ARM and x86

    libraries • Widgets are managed and rendered using a C++ engine • All elements are rendered with Skia, a 2-d graphics library • Pro: take advantage of the GPU • Cons: app size is larger
  34. Recap • Components translated to native • Use Native components

    • Delay due to Bridge initialisation and runtime translation • Widget independent of the OS • No translation time needed • Include its own widgets
  35. • Hot reload without losing state • Build on top

    of Hot Module Replacement by Webpack • HMR runtime included in the app that receives new module and replace it
  36. • Hot reload without losing state • State is maintained

    during builds • Thanks to a mix of Ahead- of-time (AOT) and Just-In- Time (JIT) compilation
  37. Common Interesting Features: • Hot reload without losing state •

    Update only components/widget that have changed
  38. • Update only components/widget that have changed • Virtual DOM

    as representation of the UI <button class='button button-blue'> <b> OK! </b> </button> { type: 'button', props: { className: 'button button-blue', children: { type: 'b', props: { children: 'OK!' } } } }
  39. • Update only components/widget that have changed • Virtual DOM

    as representation of the UI • Diff comparison using reconciliation • O(n) heuristic algorithm thanks to two assumption: • Two elements of different types will produce different trees. • The developer can hint at which child elements may be stable across different renders with a key prop.
  40. • Update only components/widget that have changed • Element Tree

    as representation of the UI • After an user input or other stimuli a widget must be redrawn • Not a tree-diffing algorithm • For each element, the child list is examined independently 
 (O(n) algorithm)
  41. Common Interesting Features: • Hot reload without losing state •

    Update only components/widget that have changed • “Frankestein” App
  42. • “Frankestein” App • Add new React Native based features,

    screens, views, etc. in an existing application • Useful for “evolving features” • A view in the native app is a container for the RN component

  65. Crossplatform • Crossplatform is not bad but… IS NOT better

    than native • It’s a choice with compromises based on specific situation • If trouble became higher than benefits, make a step back
  66. React Native or Flutter ? • Right now, React Native

    is more stable and solid • Flutter is the future • If Google does not drop it $ • Better performance that other framework • Dart is a more modern language
