About Lesson

When deciding between Expo and the React Native CLI for your React Native project, it’s important to consider your project’s specific needs, your experience level, and the desired flexibility. Here’s a comparison to help you make the best choice:

Expo

Pros:

  1. Beginner-Friendly:
    • Simplifies the setup process, perfect for those new to React Native.
  2. No Native Code Required:
    • You can create fully functional apps without writing native code.
  3. Fast Development:
    • Comes with a range of pre-configured tools and features.
    • Over-the-air (OTA) updates allow you to push updates without app store submissions.
  4. Cross-Platform Compatibility:
    • Streamlines development for both iOS and Android.
  5. Active Community:
    • Extensive documentation and support make it easier to resolve issues.

Cons:

  1. Limited Customization:
    • Lack of support for custom native modules.
  2. Performance Constraints:
    • May not be suitable for resource-intensive apps.
  3. Expo Lock-In:
    • Transitioning from Expo to a bare workflow can be complex.

React Native CLI

Pros:

  1. Full Control:
    • Allows for complete customization with native code access.
  2. Scalable for Complex Apps:
    • Ideal for apps requiring heavy native integrations or advanced functionality.
  3. Wider Library Support:
    • Access to all React Native libraries and tools without restrictions.

Cons:

  1. Steeper Learning Curve:
    • Requires knowledge of native development tools and configurations.
  2. Manual Configuration:
    • Setup can be time-consuming and requires more effort.

When to Use Expo

  • You’re a beginner or need a quick prototype.
  • Your app doesn’t require custom native modules or advanced performance optimization.
  • OTA updates and ease of deployment are priorities.

When to Use React Native CLI

  • You need advanced functionality and native module customization.
  • Your app is performance-intensive or has unique requirements.
  • You have experience with native development or a dedicated team for it.

Conclusion:

  • Use Expo for simplicity, rapid development, and smaller projects.
  • Choose React Native CLI for flexibility, scalability, and complex projects.
