Discontinued

[realityworks]

Two years and no updates, sad to see another technology fail. Had a lot of potential.

It still actually works in practice, I'm using it with current versions of everything.
However, I think it's quite obvious that from a developer uptake perspective react-native-web has won.
And at the same time....I don't recall seeing any pull requests from you here 🤔 😆

...and that's how open source works

It still works, but it's discontinued. So there won't be further support from Microsoft for it. Which is a real shame, as this was a great container for mobile and web apps.

I plan to maybe do a fork. Because I really need some feature - like classname - which does not fit with RXP philosophy.
@realityworks What is the main features you misses?

I've moved on, just deintegrated reactxp and moving to react-native-web now fully. I can't imagine trying to keep this package alive and compete with them, from a mindshare perspective. Much better to base your work on that and tailor it to suit needs then attempt to keep this going on life support, in my opinion

A shame that ReactXP is no longer active (although I see that @erictraut is regularly bumping dependencies), but just in case someone still wants to experiment and look at an open-source project which uses most of the ReactXP features and extensions (except reactxp-navigation), I've been working on one here: https://github.com/alariej/quadrix. The app is live and available in most app stores. A warning: It uses a stripped-down and self-patched version of ReactXP (https://github.com/alariej/reactxp) so that it can work with the latest versions of react-native (I also made very minor functionality changes, among others on animations).

That said, I'm probably going to follow @mikehardy's path and move the project to react-native-web at some point.

For anyone that wants to start with a react-native-web ios/android/web toy template that's "clean" (that is, as minimal as I think is possible) but style "complete" (meaning, typescript, react-navigation (and thus react-native-vector-icons) you might like https://github.com/criszz77/luna/ - I collaborated with the author there in order to make it useful as a template somewhat similar to the old TodoList app here

It uses react-app-rewired in order to handle configuration overrides for babel and webpack you need on top of "react-scripts" (from create-react-app, the "web" implementation) so those are not too bad. And it uses standard react-native stuff for ios/mobile. Runs out of the box.

I've also got https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase-authentication-example/ - which is built on that Luna template, but adds firebase stuff and shows how to do shims to pull in different code for web vs mobile - but it's on a slightly outdated version of the Luna template so uses "craco" instead of "react-app-rewired" and thus is stuck on webpack 4.

I'd start with luna as a toy for prototyping what a non-ReactXP future looks like.

Not compatible with React 18 types :(
