I have recently been learning Next.js for React and I like the routing system a lot more than react navigation. Now I am about to start a react native frontend and I was wondering if you can utilise Next.js's routing system in react native as well as it's other benefits. I know that you can use it with expo but I am a little confused as to how it all works and I am starting to wonder if the Next only works on the web side of things..
Does anyone have any experience with this? Any information would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Unfortunately you can't do such thing, due to the fact that the views of react native are Equivalent to native views in Java or Objective C. When you get build version of react native , you are receiving Java or Objective C native views thank to react native's RN bridge. Meanwhile, when you get build version of your Next.js project, you are going to receive HTML, CSS, JS and these codes are not familiar to native platforms.
However, you can use your Next.js backend as your endpoints and fetch data in react native via calling this endpoints.
UPDATE Oct_2022:
there seem to be a new tool created for this purpose , called solito. I haven't used it personally but it might meet your needs.
UPDATE Jan_2023:
It looks like there are more Tools being created for Both web and native platforms , check react-native-web
You can check out Tauri. With that you can create from Next.js, React, Svelte etc. cross-platform native Apps. Currently, Windows, Mac and Linux are supported stable. Android & iOS is currently in Alpha
The magic behind Tauri is, that they provide around your Frontend library/framework a Rust layer with that you can interact with platform native APIs. They call it Commands.
You can find the guide for Next.js here.
Also, if it's not exactly answering the question - "Is it possible to use Next.js in React native?" - I hope that it's helping everyone who is searching for a solution to use Next.js as Cross-Platform Frontend Framework
I read a thread on ycombinator on this where Solito was mentioned and tried it out. In the comments I found this, which suited my needs best :
https://github.com/mlynch/nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-starter
Solito looks nice but the all in one repo was using Expo, which I did not like because it installs an extra app. I would check it out for yourself and look at the repo above too, which is using Capacitor and is aimed at having one codebase for the two apps.
Both examples worked well. For Tauri I could not find the mobile support so I didn't try it. I would be interested to read more about people's experience with running a minimum stack for cross platform development.
Note : Solito uses React Native, the repo uses Capacitor instead, which may also suite your needs because it works on both iOS and Android.
There's a lot of support now for this tech stack. Besides solito, which is already mentioned, there is also https://tamagui.dev/ which tries to solve all the issues with react-native-web and Next.js along with Solito.
While they currently recommend a monorepo (which adds a lot of complexity in my opinion), I'm playing around with a vanilla React Native + Next.js here: https://github.com/criszz77/luna
This command should get you started to play around:
npx react-native init MyAppName --template #criszz77/luna
Pretty simple question. I have a very basic React/Redux/Node login system. If I convert it into a mobile application by using Ionic, will the Redux functionality still work? Or are they incompatible?
It is totally possible to use both, I can't see why it would be limited to be honest.
By searching on Google, you can find already lots of resources about this

I have a SPA made with create-react-app and it contains a forum where logged in users can post along with other features. The forum is simply a component within the app currently.
For SEO purposes I want to make the forum public and like Stack Overflow use dynamic routing for those posts and it should be viewable to anyone searching on Google without having to login. The user has greater abilities when logged in.
So I assume I have to implement server-side rendering on the forum using Next.js.
The problem is the rest of the code(React + Redux implementation) needs no changes and converting it to Next.js would be unnecessary. Is there a way to implement the forum within the CRA?
Yes there is! The official Next.js docs actually offers solutions on how to incrementally adopt Next.js.
There are two flavors:
subpaths
rewrites
Their documentation explains both in detail: https://nextjs.org/docs/migrating/incremental-adoption
I’m studying REACT on official documentation and on the course at Udemy. I want to create an online store, first I made a small template for the site menu. Who can check the code and give feedback so that I could make the menu and the online store better? Thanks.

This question is little bit confusing but i need to use React Native in AngularJs.
My requirement is a simple. I am developing website which create Mobile Application without code.(ref: www.ibuildapp.com). For that, I need to display mobile simulator and update mobile application constantly as per user drag and drop action, and last Apk and ipa will gerenate using react native. So in meantime user actions i need to update mobile simulator views so i have to use react native component and my site will be in Angular.
My question is that is it possible to use Angular + react-native simultaneously.
I hope you understand my requirement if need more detail comment me.
Thank you in advance.
