Can I use flutter in my react native app?

Question

So I have a react native app and was hoping if I could use flutter for some components.

We are using redux for state management and was curious if we could use the same redux store for flutter components. And for persistence we are using realm, was curious if flutter supports realm.

Solution

No you can't use flutter component into react native because both are written in different technology language stack.

1. Flutter is an open-source mobile application framework that works on a completely different programming language called Dart, While React Native lets you build mobile apps using only JavaScript.

   Dart is based on c/c++, java and supports things like abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. Flutter team picked Dart because it matched the way they were building user interfaces, With Dart bridge, the application size is bigger, but it works much faster. Unlike React Native with Javascript bridge.

2. Second Redux is an application architecture, made originally for JavaScript. Redux provide library for both but we can't use same redux state for react native and flutter. Redux are written different for both platform with same functionality and working(state management)

3. Realm is also a third party plugin which is available for both platform but we can't share code between both platform.

No and no. Flutter had an independent redux implementation, and don't have Realm

Out of curiosity, since you have implemented Redux, any reason why you're using realm? Because for the persistence part we have Redux-persist or redux-offline

@Isaac so we are not using redux-offline or redux-persist because in our case the amount of data was huge an we really did'nt want to have all that in memory and secondly we had complex queries being run on the data so we needed a separate data layer for the same.

Is realm supported by flutter ?

[Vishal Dhanotiya]

Currently it is not support flutter but realm developer working on it to provide realm db for flutter. Check this realm forum link and github url forum.realm.io/t/realm-for-flutter-io/171 and github.com/realm/realm-object-server/issues/55
