Working towards component parity with React Native

Open agg23 opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

From a project management perspective, what is the plan for working towards component parity with React Native? Is the idea to just keep this library as a React wrapper around NodeGUI (and therefore a wrapper around Qt itself), or is there room for adding more "complicated" components? Should core RN components be implemented as a plugin instead?

From my research, there's a lot that needs to happen to implement something like FlatList, especially if based off of QListView or QTableView. I'm honestly not even sure what this translation would look like, given that Qt doesn't like widgets to be children of the QList* likes, so there would have to be some sort of React component to QStyleOption* translation. I view this as a large blocker to adoption, as it's difficult to do much in the way of complicated UI without lists.

I wonder if some collaboration could happen with https://github.com/status-im/react-native-desktop-qt
