How to build local-first native apps with LiveStore and Expo

[@ChrisGeirman]

I remember when this was called "offline first" and I've always been a fan of this type of architecture. Have I ever implemented it? No...but I'd like to! I'll endeavor to play around with this. Looks great!

[@schicklingj]

Yes, the "offline-first" dream is finally becoming a reality and going even further with features like real-time collaboration etc.

[@ChrisGeirman]

I'm curious how real time collaboration would work without a stable network connection. You're breaking my brain 😅 CouchDB use to be the go-to sync engine when someone wanted this sort of functionality, but it always seemed a little too complicated to get to hello world on mobile (to me). LiveStore, being on expo removes that friction point (for me). I'm excited about this!

[@korigamik]

can you please share the github repo for this project?

[@ExpoDevelopers]

Hi! You can learn more at livestore.dev. Also, the video description has a link to request early access.

How did you make that "assigned" and "created" tab component? Is it some pre made component from expo? I'm trying to do something like that but cant find the name for it, the closest I get to define it is "tab" but then I always end up with tab navigation related content

Hi Marlon, you can check the segmented control component examples

I have a very specific problem, I need to initialize a third party aar (.initialize method), this method opens the browser for login and then it goes back to the app, but with expo run:android this get's ignored and the redirection never happens, I also gradlew assembleRelease and it also doesn't happen, it only happens if I install the debug app with react-native run-android and then starting the expo server. Is this possible to do with expo?

Kysely driver works with Livestore? I know how to do SQL staments, but I really liked the way Kysely works in the development process actually. God bless you guys!

[@schicklingj]

Yes, you can use Kysely (or most other JS query builders/ORMs) on top raw SQL in LiveStore. Note the latest version of LiveStore now also includes a first-class query builder.

@schicklingj Cool

[@jhutanda]

Github link please 🙏

[@gablabelle]

May we access the source code please? ;-)

[@nhieljeff2156]

can i query vectors locally?

[@schicklingj]

Not yet, but there are plans to integrate with sqlite-vec to make this work. I'm currently looking for a commercial sponsor to start the development effort on this!

In expo-52 the expo doctor keeps failing and telling me that react-native-screen does not match how to fix this

[@abdulmadebari2313]

Am getting the same error

[@ExpoDevelopers]

We'd be happy to investigate! can you please create an issue with a minimal reproducible example? thank you!

[@smokz98]

Got the same problem, somehow the "npx expo install --check" wasn't changing anything to solve the problem so check what is the expected version from the message and write it as the version on your package.json. That fixed it for me. This was the message I was receiving: The following packages should be updated for best compatibility with the installed expo version: react-native-screens@^4.0.3 - expected version: ^4.0.0

You need to manually comment out vision os part from your node modules
