React Native UI framework #11

Closed rturk closed 6 years ago

rturk commented 8 years ago

Mobile Apps are the new frontier. React Native is the new tool to build apps, however it lacks a decent UI framework.

Thanks for submitting this proposal. +1 this issue if you'd like to see a React UI framework from Metafizzy.

I'm curious: isn't React a UI framework in of itself? What features would you like in this add-on framework (grid, transitions, modals, etc )? cc @ianstormtaylor

React Native is a cross-platform approach, but views are still coded using platform-specific widgets. Developers need to know the iOS name for a button, and the Android name for a button, for example.

I'm going to assume this is proposal is for a unified abstraction layer on top of React Native. So, for example, there's just the one button widget and it automatically expresses itself as appropriate for each platform.

Yeah, need a better term. But I think people mean UI as in toggles, buttons, icons, etc. that are pre-packaged and easy to use, so they don't have to write things like "hide dropdown on clicking outside of it" logic over and over, but still easily themeable. In this case too, @rturk is talking about one for native as in for iOS/Android use I think.

Also another repository working towards something like it: https://github.com/nikgraf/future-react-ui

Thanks for this suggestion. React is not in my wheelhouse so I'll pass on this one 🐳
