Create your first LiveView Native (Elixir) Application

bcardarellaOP1y ago· 5 in thread

I'm the lead on the LiveView Native (LVN) project. Happy to answer any questions here. I'll get a few FAQs out of the way:

* it's not a WebView - we render actual native UI

* we do not push for 100% server-side rendering. An upcoming post will discuss optimistic UI strategies for LVN

* Android support is coming, possibly before EOY

* offline mode is not yet implemented but coming

This might be answered elsewhere but how does LVN in its current state handle server disconnects (and for prolonged periods of time, in say no coverage zones)?

We have the same strategy as LiveView. We attempt to reconnect when network is lost. There are methods for restoring your state as well that work in LiveView and LiveView Native

Is the idea for offline mode still running Phoenix on the device with something like Elixir Desktop?

In what ways it differs from React Native and Turbo Native?

bcardarellaOP1y ago

LVN actually wraps the 1st class native UI framework. So we are not rendering out our own UI or using a WebView to render HTML/CSS with a JS bridge.

Similar to LiveView itself, we manage state and event handlers server-side.

This tops my list for one of the new releases I'm most excited about this year. Can't wait to build something with LVN

LVN GO is really great. My mac is on lifesupport until the M4 launches soon. Cant handle anything more than a couple of browser tabs so even trying to open Xcode is suicide.
