what should i opt between these two techniques?

I am planning to start mobile development using React-Native, but I am not sure if I should go with expo or cli. Can some explain me the differences and benifits and which one would be good to opt for a long term wise?.

I am trying to get suggestions from the community about what should i go with as a fresher

Solution

  • When choosing between React Native CLI and react-native Expo, you can consider factors like:

    Project complexity:

    • Expo is better for simpler projects and quick prototyping, while React Native CLI is better for complex applications.

    Developer expertise

    • Expo is easier to learn and use, making it a good choice for beginners.

    Control

    • React Native CLI gives you more control over the app, including direct access to native code.

    Features

    • Expo offers features like file-based routing and universal libraries, while React Native CLI offers full native module support.

    So the Conclusion here is :

    Expo is ideal for beginners or rapid prototyping, while React Native CLI appeals to developers who require extensive access to native modules.
