Wishlist: Please add React Native support!

[gitasong]

Rekit looks amazing! Any chance of adding React Native support in the future?

I know it's kind of early to ask about this and there's a lot of things going on on this project, but @supnate could you give the vaguest of ideas of the plans for this point just for our planning purposes?

Support seems to be planned, but I haven't the faintest idea what goes into making this happen or how much work it will be. Do you envision this being more or less than 6 months away? Thanks again for this awesome project. Can't wait to give it a try.

In my mind there aren't too much work to do to support React Native:

1. Create a new React Native boilerplate for creating apps.
2. Create a Rekit plugin to update Component, Style templates for React Native

If you know how Rekit works, you should be able to do such things easily: config your project then create a local plugin. I don't suggest you depends on me for your plan. Because it maybe one or two months, or much longer than that. Sorry that I can't make a promise here. Since there are still many other high priority tasks for now.

I haven't even given Rekit a try, but the demo video looks super amazing. Great job! @supnate

Like @Slapbox, I also have no idea what goes into creating this or adding support for React Native. But having built React Native apps for a while now, I'm really interested in making this work for React Native (if anyone comes up with a direction to go)

@1hndrxx The author suggests creating a plugin for this. From my point of view, the roadmap for what needs to change for react-native is that it needs to use create-react-native-app initially instead of create-react-app. Then the only difference is that component names and styles need to be changed. The structure of the app and the features + actions + reducers part will be identical.

I don't know how hard it would be to change the project to use the create script, but at the least we should be able to just create the app ourselves, and add rekit + custom plugin to the RN app.

I'm interested in brain storming with you on this, reach out at GitHub handle @ gmail com

Also interested in this topic. I'm pleased to provide some help since I've been working on RN based apps for several years.

Thanks @allenhsu , it will be possible when Rekit 3.0 is ready :-) I'm doing heavy refactoring to provide a complete plugin system to support more tech stacks.

How is it going on? 🤔️
