Turbo native module setup with react-native 0.78

Struggling with Turbo Native Module Setup in React Native (AppDelegate.swift)

I'm trying to create a NativeSplashScreen Turbo Native Module for my React Native app, but I've been stuck for hours due to the lack of proper and up-to-date documentation on setting up Turbo Native Modules—especially with the latest architecture changes.

To make things more challenging, my AppDelegate.m has now been migrated to AppDelegate.swift, and most available guides still reference the old Objective-C setup. This makes it even harder to get things working properly.

Inside my app, I want to create two to three Turbo Native Modules, but without a clear, updated, and Swift-compatible guide, it's been extremely frustrating.

If anyone has a step-by-step guide or an example repository for setting up Turbo Native Modules using the new architecture with Swift (AppDelegate.swift), it would be a huge help—not just for me but for many others facing the same roadblock.

Please consider updating the official documentation to reflect the current setup with Swift and the new architecture.

Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated!

React return 'null' vs return 'false'. Which is better and why?

I have read some articles about stopping using the return 'null' as well as using 'null' over 'false'. Please tell me what we can use and why. Also, their importance and usage.

I have followed two articles and both support different things. But how does React work in both cases, please explain in detail.

stop using null

supporting return null

Please suggest.

How to generate the React Native code when building an app using React JS drag/drop type builder?

Archana Sharma — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 10:23:08 +0000

I am creating a React js app builder which is built using React JS. The canvas part where I am creating a screen is used react-native-web to drag the component and drop the react native one. Because this builder later will be used as a React Native app.

Requirement:: Building React Native app using React JS drag and drop app builder.

Steps:

I have used react-native-web too so that inside React JS app builder I can create a screen using the React-Native component to maintain the consistency of the app and builder as well as I can reuse the same component code on both sides.
After drag and drop I generate a screen view using the JSON I have saved in React js builder.
I am having a confusing in the third step, now I have shown the screen inside React js app builder, and my JSON is also ready but how can I convert the JSON or that screen to React Native code? I need React native code to build a mobile app which is the last and most crucial step of this project.
Do I need to convert the created JSON into React native code? If yes, is there any tool, library or package available for this?
Is there any method to convert the build screen into React Native code?

Please help me to figure out what is an appropriate method to build React Native code from React JS app builder.
