Just wrapping up my fourth ios/android React Native project today.
/** * On topic thread details */ IDE: Visual Studio Code Theme: Oceanic Next Font: Operator Mono (no broke bois in this thread please) plugins: Babel es6/es7, Oceanic Next Italics, Prettier - JavaScript formatter
Switched over from Sublime Text 3 with the same theme/font last week and haven't looked back. The terminal integration in this is top notch.
what do you like about visual studio code compared to sublime?
Benjamin Johnson
Better sidebar. Terminal integration.
Having only a couple/few programs open at a time is big for me. I hate running twenty programs at a time. That's the only real edge it has over Sublime in my eyes. Enabling extensions is easier, too, but not a real big deal there.
Jaxon Myers
Such a disgusting font.

I'm stuck using kdeveloper on a project. Kill me this shit is so memory hungry and even after I close it the process keeps running so I have to SIGKILL it
Easton Reyes
I'm writing an IDE
Brody Gonzalez
To each his own. I love the cursive on the attributes.
William Evans
I tried using Operator Mono but never could fully get it like I wanted. It also looked like ass in IntelliJ somehow.
Consolas for life.

Why are you stuck? Does it have some build process integration that you can't run through terminal? Some extensions like code formatting that your employer requires?
Grayson Richardson
Geany. That's all anyone who uses GUI applications should ever need.
Jose Smith
My co-worker uses it for an older project i'm now working on and it does have a build process integration, but I don't know if I could run from terminal. That would be good
Lucas Jenkins
I see no reason why you wouldn't.
gib font nao

How have you been finding react native?
Hudson Martin
What sort of features should an IDE have?

I love React Native. Fourth project I've used it on. It took me a couple project to get a good navigation + redux flow but I've really nailed it down for this latest project. Also, with React Native +0.40.0 integrating Java and Objective-C code is cake and much easier than previous iterations of React Native. Much better than a Xamarin experience and very performant.
I do most of the code on iOS first then fix things up on Android. This time around there wasn't any "Android fixes" I had to take care of.
Still using the old react-native cli, you always have to build NPM scripts on top of it to handle the messy stuff. After you have the experience of navigating through a React Native proj it's slick as hell.
Charles Kelly
I'm really interested in getting started in it, how much JS/React/etc experience did you have?
It sounds decent desu senpai but with a steep learning curve
Dominic Evans
I've been doing React development for two years now.
If you're familiar with modern modular/component based application development I imagine you already have the core concepts behind how React works. Anyone coming from an Ember/Angular/Vue world wouldn't have a very rough transition.
A number of people on the React core team and others in the community (Ben Lesh, Ken Wheeler, Dan Abramov, and others) have put out a good amount of learning material for the React ecosystem.
A new version of the React docs has been release recently and they should be very beginner friendly. The React Native stuff is a little different, the native development knowledge comes in handing with a lot of things like `How to sign an APK`, `How to change the startup background color with objective-c` and things of that nature.
Ayden Morgan
Ahh I see, quite a bit of experience then
I have little to no experience of js but seems like the way everything is going ~ I'll give it a look cheers senpai
Text-editor* I realized my mistake after I posted it. :-) Thanks for your kind words, user.

Not likely. If so, I can almost guarantee you're a code monkey.

I mean, if you have an employer who is willing to drop a couple hundred dollars on a font that doesn't necessarily improve your productivity, that's fine. But for those who just want the font...
