#Repost @mr_vero • • • Flutter after 6 days, should you consider to adopt it? I’m still new to #flutter, six days ago my friend @obih__ asked me about this and how is it compared to React Native so I tried it out later that night. The flutter setup is really easy to follow and the documentation is well through to help you get started faster. And here’s my experience. 1. Flutter has a in-built UI elements which is very convenient while in React you need to use external UI kits 2. Flutter doesn’t separate data, style and templates. No extra templating language like JSX. It’ll be more challenging to reread the code in Flutter and feel a little bit messier but I kinda like it 😅. 3. Performance wise flutter wins with its 60 fps animation and no bridge. In React native to interact with native components, a JS Bridge is required. It’s used to turn JS variables to native ones and it creates additional task that slow RN down as for the 60 fps animation RN requires an external library 4. Flutter using Dart while RN using JavaScript. Dart is mainly new 5. Flutter doesn’t have much resources compared to RN but flutter documentation is a lot cleaner an easier to follow through. 6. There’s no lifecycle management in Flutter. In RN you got a dedicated tools for it. 7. It takes me less than 48 hours to be confident with Flutter and start to experiment with it while the first time I learn RN it takes me about a week. Maybe this is because I came from a Desktop software programmers experience. 8. Flutter still new and I’m excited to see what’s coming to the future. New means the community is not as larger as RN at this moment. Nevertheless, Flutter’s community is growing in a heartbeat. If it’s continues to expand with the same dynamics. Flutter has every chance to become more popular than RN.
There’s a pros and cons for Flutter vs RN but from my experience I feel a lot happier working with Flutter though it just 6 days, one snap of google search also gives the right solution unlike RN sometimes it takes more than 10 search to find the right solution. The ocean of RN library also can be overwhelming sometimes.
