How to Setup, Build and Deploy Native Apps with Vue

Vue-Native is a framework written by GeekyAnts, it is a framework built to deliver cross platform mobile native applications. It is inspired by the React-native API, hence it gives a developer the ability to build cross platform applications in Vue.js using React Native’s robust system.

• Summary

Vue Native was originally a fork from React-vue, a compiler that gave developers that ability to write Vue and React in the same codebase. In this article, we’ll build a simple application to introduce the APIs and components available in Vue native.

We’ll be building a simple application that fetches the trending Gifs on Giphy, using the Giphy API. We’ll also display the Gif and details about it using components like ScrollView, Text, Image etc.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, you’ll need to have Node > 6.0 installed. You’ll also need any of the package managers, NPM (this comes packaged with Node) or Yarn.

Basic knowledge of Javascript and Vue is also required. You can follow the official Vue documentation here to get up to speed.

Getting started

Before we get started, we’ll need to setup the project and install project dependencies. We’ll be making use of Vue native CLI to bootstrap our application. There’s also an installation option using Create React Native App, this option is longer but you can find the instructions here.

First, install the Vue Native CLI by running the following command:

yarn global add vue-native-cli
//  or
 npm install -g vue-native-cli

Then initialize a new project by running the following command:

vue-native init vue-gifs

Running this command will bootstrap a Create React Native App application using the Expo CLI.

At the time of writing the Vue Native CLI needs the React Native version_ 0.55.4_ and expo version 29.0.0, so update your package.json to set these versions. We’ll also add commands to build for ios and android platforms by updating the scripts object.

//package.json

{
  "name": "vue-gifs",
  "main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "build:ios": "expo build:ios",
    "build:android": "expo build:android",
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "expo": "^29.0.0",
    ...
    "react-native": "0.55.4",
    ...
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "babel-preset-expo": "^4.0.0",
    ...
  }
}

Then update the sdkVersion in the app.json file to match the expo version. Open the app.json file and update it like the snippet below:

{
  "expo": {
    "name": "vue-gifs",
    "description": "This project is really great.",
    ...
    "sdkVersion": "29.0.0",
    ...
  }
}

Everything else will remain the same. After making these changes, run npm install or yarn to install the required versions for the application. When this is done, run npm start to run the application.

To build and run our application, we’ll be using Expo. Expo is an open source toolchain built around React-native for building Android and iOS applications. It provides access to the system’s functionality like the Camera, Storage etc.

Testing on mobile

To test the application on mobile, the expo-cli provides various methods to test the application. The first is using a URL generated after running the application, this URL can be visited on your mobile browser to test the application.

Run the npm run start-native command within your project folder to run the application using expo. expo typically starts your application on port 19002, visit http://localhost:19002 to view the expo dev tools. Within the dev tools you can send the preview link as an SMS or email to your mobile phone.

You can select any of the three connection options. An external tunnel, LAN or Local connection. For the local connection, your mobile phone and work PC have to be connection to the same network but the tunnel works regardless.

The next method which is the easiest is downloading the Expo mobile app, it can be found on both the Apple App store and the Android Play store. On iOS, after installing the app, open up your camera and scan the barcode above to run your application. While on Android, you can use the Expo app to scan the barcode and run the application.

Run any of the following command to test on either platforms:

npm start

After starting the application, scan the barcode and view the application on the expo app. You should see a view similar to the screenshot below:

Let’s see the other methods we can test the application on mobile. The next option for testing on a mobile device is using an emulator or simulator. Using Android studio or Xcode, you can boot emulators or simulators for their respective platforms. Download and install the tool for the platform of choice, Xcode for iOS and Android studio for Android. After installation, run any of the following commands to start the application:

npm run ios
  # OR
npm run android

Creating a Giphy application

To get started consuming the Giphy API, you’ll need to log in to your Giphy account, create one if you haven’t already. The next step is to create an app on the developer platform. On your developer account dashboard, there’s a Create App button, click it and fill in the details about your application.

After creating the app, your new application should be displayed on your dashboard with an API key, this key will be used when making requests to Giphy

To make requests to the Giphy service, we’ll make use of their Javascript SDK. Run the following command to install the package:

npm install --save giphy-js-sdk-core

Now we can go ahead and consume the APIs with the help of this SDK.

App component

Our application is a simple one that displays the trending gifs on the Giphy platform. Using the Giphy API, we’ll get the associated gif image, title and type from the returned data. The data will be displayed using some of the components provided by vue-native. Open the App.vue file in the root folder and update it like the snippet below:

<template>
    <view>
        <scroll-view class="scroll-view">
           //Todo: Create gif item and header
           <view class="loading-container" :style="{flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center'}" v-if="loading">
              <activity-indicator size="large" color="#0000ff"></activity-indicator>
            </view>         </scroll-view>
    </view>
</template>
<script>
  import Giphy from 'giphy-js-sdk-core';
  const client = Giphy('GIPHY_API_KEY');

  export default {
    name: 'App',
    data() {
      return {
        gifs: [],
        loading: true,
      };
    },
    async created() {
      const response = await client.trending('gifs', {limit: 20});
      this.gifs = response.data;
    },
  };
</script>
<style>
    .scroll-view {
        padding-top: 20px;
        padding-bottom: 30px;
    }
    .loading-container {
        height: 600px;
    }
</style>

In the snippet above, the App component renders a scrollview component that houses the components elements. It only displays an activityindicator, this will be replaced by the list of gif when the call to the API is complete.

Also, we instantiate the Giphy client using the API key obtained from the developers dashboard and replace the placeholder string with the API key. Calling the trending method makes a call to the Giphy trending endpoint. The first provided parameter is gifs, this indicates which trending items should be returned, gifs or stickers. The second parameter is an object providing optional parameters like the limit, offset, rating and fmt (format).

We’ll just be providing a limit parameter, limiting the results to 20 items. This call is made in the created lifecycle of the component. Next, we’ll create the gif item to render the returned results.

After reloading, the application should display the activity indicator:

Creating the gif item component

Each gif item will be displayed using a View component, the View component is an important building block, it supports layout using flexbox, styling and accessibility. Each item will display the gif, title and type. Create a folder components in the root folder. Within the components directory, create a named GifItem.vue and update it with the code below:

// GifItem.vue

<template>
  <view class="container">
    <image class="img" :source="{uri: `${gif.images.original.url}`}" style="max-width:100%;"/>
    <text class="title">{{titleCase(gif.title)}}</text>
  </view>
</template>
<script>
export default {
  name: "GifItem",
  props: ["gif"],
  methods: {
    titleCase(text) {
      const textArray = text.split(" ");
      return textArray
        .map(text => {
          const trimmedText = text.trim();
          return `${trimmedText[0].toUpperCase()}${trimmedText.slice(1)}`;
        })
        .join(" ");
    }
  }
};
</script>
<style>
.container {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  margin-bottom: 30px;
  position: relative;
}
.img {
  height: 200px;
  width: 300px;
}
.title {
  font-size: 14px;
  font-weight: 500;
  margin-top: 7px;
}
</style>

Using the Image component, we can display the source of each gif and the Text component to display the gif title. The Image component takes a source prop which is an object with a uri property.

The titleCase method takes the title of each gif and returns the text in title case, capitalizing the first letter of each word in the text. The GifItem component will take a single prop gif.

Let’s update the App.vue file to include the new GifItem. Update the file with the snippet below:

<template>
    <view>
        <scroll-view class="scroll-view">
            <gif-item v-for="gif in gifs" :gif="gif" :key="gif.id" v-if="!loading"/>
            <view class="loading-container" :style="{flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center'}" v-if="loading">
                <activity-indicator size="large" color="#0000ff"></activity-indicator>
            </view>
        </scroll-view>
    </view>
</template>
<script>
  import Giphy from 'giphy-js-sdk-core';
  const client = Giphy('API_KEY');
  import GifItem from './components/GifItem';

  export default {
    name: 'App',
    data() {
      return {
        gifs: [],
        loading: true
      };
    },
    async created() {
      const response = await client.trending('gifs', {limit: 20});
      this.gifs = response.data;
      this.loading = false;
    },
    components: {GifItem}
  };
</script>
<style>
    .scroll-view {
        padding-top: 20px;
        padding-bottom: 30px;
    }
    .loading-container {
        height: 600px;
    }
</style>

When you open the application in the expo app, you’ll see something similar to the screenshot below:

If you can’t see gifs listed, go through the tutorial again to see what you’ve have missed along the way.

Header component

After successfully querying for trending gifs and displaying them using native components, let’s include a header to give the application context. Using the View component, we’ll create an area that will act as the header for our application. Create file called header.vue within the components directory and update it with the code below:

// /components/header.vue
<template>
    <view class="header-container">
        <text class="header">Trending</text>
    </view>
</template>
<script>
  export default {
    name: 'header.vue'
  };
</script>
<style scoped>
    .header-container {
        background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
        display: flex;
        justify-content: center;
        padding-top: 15px;
        padding-bottom: 15px;
        border-bottom-color: aquamarine;
        border-bottom-width: 1px;
        margin-top: 20px;
    }
    .header {
        font-size: 16px;
        color: black;
        opacity: 0.8;
        font-weight: 600;
        text-align: center;
    }
</style>

Now let’s add the header component to the App component. This will display a simple header at the top of the application. Update the App.vue file to include the Header component:

<template>
    <view>
        <header/>
        <scroll-view class="scroll-view">
            ...
        </scroll-view>
    </view>
</template>
<script>
  import Giphy from 'giphy-js-sdk-core';
  const client = Giphy('TxuQbNU1nyDBwpqrcib61LxmOzsXTPEk');

  import GifItem from './components/GifItem';
  import Header from './components/header';

  export default {
    name: 'App',
    data() {
     ...
    },
    async created() {
      ...
    },
    components: {GifItem, Header}
  };
</script>
<style>
   ...
</style>

After the application refreshes the header will be added to the top of the application.

We’ve been able to achieve a lot of display functionality using the components provided by Vue-native.

Deploying the application

We’ll be deploying our application to the Android Play store. To achieve this, we’ll need to update the app.json to include Android specific properties. Open the app.json file and update the file to include the android field:

{
  "expo": {
    ...
    "android": {
      "package": "com.vue.gifs"
    }
  }
}

The android.package field is a unique value that will represent your package in the app store. You can read more on the package naming convention here. After updating the file, run the npm run build:android command.

This command will present you with a prompt, asking you to provide a keystore or to generate a new one. If you have an existing keystore, you can select this option or let expo generate one for your application.

After completion, a download link will be generated for your application, clicking on this link will be trigger a download for your apk.

To deploy the downloaded APK to the Android Play Store, visit the Play Console to create an account, then you’ll be required to pay a registration fee of $25 before proceeding. When registration is complete, visit this page and follow the steps to upload your application to the Play Store.

Summary

Vue native has provided a solution to build for mobile platforms using Vuejs. It compiles to React and uses components provided by React Native. As as the time of writing, some of it’s components require that you write JSX with the actual React Native components. Since Vue native works with React native, you can follow the official React native documentation. Vue native is still in it’s infant stages and has a lot of potential, it creates an opportunity for Vue.js developers to build cross platform mobile applications. You can view the source code for the demo here.

How native is React Native? | React Native vs Native App Development

If you are undertaking a mobile app development for your start-up or enterprise, you are likely wondering whether to use React Native. As a popular development framework, React Native helps you to develop near-native mobile apps. However, you are probably also wondering how close you can get to a native app by using React Native. How native is React Native?

In the article, we discuss the similarities between native mobile development and development using React Native. We also touch upon where they differ and how to bridge the gaps. Read on.

A brief introduction to React Native

Let’s briefly set the context first. We will briefly touch upon what React Native is and how it differs from earlier hybrid frameworks.

React Native is a popular JavaScript framework that Facebook has created. You can use this open-source framework to code natively rendering Android and iOS mobile apps. You can use it to develop web apps too.

Facebook has developed React Native based on React, its JavaScript library. The first release of React Native came in March 2015. At the time of writing this article, the latest stable release of React Native is 0.62.0, and it was released in March 2020.

Although relatively new, React Native has acquired a high degree of popularity. The “Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019” report identifies it as the 8th most loved framework. Facebook, Walmart, and Bloomberg are some of the top companies that use React Native.

The popularity of React Native comes from its advantages. Some of its advantages are as follows:

• Performance: It delivers optimal performance.
• Cross-platform development: You can develop both Android and iOS apps with it. The reuse of code expedites development and reduces costs.
• UI design: React Native enables you to design simple and responsive UI for your mobile app.
• 3rd party plugins: This framework supports 3rd party plugins.
• Developer community: A vibrant community of developers support React Native.

Why React Native is fundamentally different from earlier hybrid frameworks

Are you wondering whether React Native is just another of those hybrid frameworks like Ionic or Cordova? It’s not! React Native is fundamentally different from these earlier hybrid frameworks.

React Native is very close to native. Consider the following aspects as described on the React Native website:

• Access to many native platforms features: The primitives of React Native render to native platform UI. This means that your React Native app will use many native platform APIs as native apps would do.
• Near-native user experience: React Native provides several native components, and these are platform agnostic.
• The ease of accessing native APIs: React Native uses a declarative UI paradigm. This enables React Native to interact easily with native platform APIs since React Native wraps existing native code.

Due to these factors, React Native offers many more advantages compared to those earlier hybrid frameworks. We now review them.

How long does it take to develop/build an app?

With more of us using smartphones, the popularity of mobile applications has exploded. In the digital era, the number of people looking for products and services online is growing rapidly. Smartphone owners look for mobile applications that give them quick access to companies’ products and services. As a result, mobile apps provide customers with a lot of benefits in just one device.

Likewise, companies use mobile apps to increase customer loyalty and improve their services. Mobile Developers are in high demand as companies use apps not only to create brand awareness but also to gather information. For that reason, mobile apps are used as tools to collect valuable data from customers to help companies improve their offer.

There are many types of mobile applications, each with its own advantages. For example, native apps perform better, while web apps don’t need to be customized for the platform or operating system (OS). Likewise, hybrid apps provide users with comfortable user experience. However, you may be wondering how long it takes to develop an app.

To give you an idea of how long the app development process takes, here’s a short guide.

App Idea & Research

_Average time spent: two to five weeks _

This is the initial stage and a crucial step in setting the project in the right direction. In this stage, you brainstorm ideas and select the best one. Apart from that, you’ll need to do some research to see if your idea is viable. Remember that coming up with an idea is easy; the hard part is to make it a reality.

All your ideas may seem viable, but you still have to run some tests to keep it as real as possible. For that reason, when Web Developers are building a web app, they analyze the available ideas to see which one is the best match for the targeted audience.

Targeting the right audience is crucial when you are developing an app. It saves time when shaping the app in the right direction as you have a clear set of objectives. Likewise, analyzing how the app affects the market is essential. During the research process, App Developers must gather information about potential competitors and threats. This helps the app owners develop strategies to tackle difficulties that come up after the launch.

The research process can take several weeks, but it determines how successful your app can be. For that reason, you must take your time to know all the weaknesses and strengths of the competitors, possible app strategies, and targeted audience.

The outcomes of this stage are app prototypes and the minimum feasible product.

Best Electric Bikes and Scooters for Rental Business or Campus Facility

The electric scooter revolution has caught on super-fast taking many cities across the globe by storm. eScooters, a renovated version of old-school scooters now turned into electric vehicles are an environmentally friendly solution to current on-demand commute problems. They work on engines, like cars, enabling short traveling distances without hassle. The result is that these groundbreaking electric machines can now provide faster transport for less — cheaper than Uber and faster than Metro.

Since they are durable, fast, easy to operate and maintain, and are more convenient to park compared to four-wheelers, the eScooters trend has and continues to spike interest as a promising growth area. Several companies and universities are increasingly setting up shop to provide eScooter services realizing a would-be profitable business model and a ready customer base that is university students or residents in need of faster and cheap travel going about their business in school, town, and other surrounding areas.

Electric Scooters Trends and Statistics

In many countries including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, U.K., Germany, France, China, Japan, India, Brazil and Mexico and more, a growing number of eScooter users both locals and tourists can now be seen effortlessly passing lines of drivers stuck in the endless and unmoving traffic.

A recent report by McKinsey revealed that the E-Scooter industry will be worth― $200 billion to $300 billion in the United States, $100 billion to $150 billion in Europe, and $30 billion to $50 billion in China in 2030. The e-Scooter revenue model will also spike and is projected to rise by more than 20% amounting to approximately $5 billion.

And, with a necessity to move people away from high carbon prints, traffic and congestion issues brought about by car-centric transport systems in cities, more and more city planners are developing more bike/scooter lanes and adopting zero-emission plans. This is the force behind the booming electric scooter market and the numbers will only go higher and higher.

Companies that have taken advantage of the growing eScooter trend develop an appthat allows them to provide efficient eScooter services. Such an app enables them to be able to locate bike pick-up and drop points through fully integrated google maps.

List of Best Electric Bikes for Rental Business or Campus Facility 2020:

It’s clear that e scooters will increasingly become more common and the e-scooter business model will continue to grab the attention of manufacturers, investors, entrepreneurs. All this should go ahead with a quest to know what are some of the best electric bikes in the market especially for anyone who would want to get started in the electric bikes/scooters rental business.

How to start an electric scooter facility/fleet in a university campus/IT park

Are you leading an organization that has a large campus, e.g., a large university? You are probably thinking of introducing an electric scooter/bicycle fleet on the campus, and why wouldn’t you?

Introducing micro-mobility in your campus with the help of such a fleet would help the people on the campus significantly. People would save money since they don’t need to use a car for a short distance. Your campus will see a drastic reduction in congestion, moreover, its carbon footprint will reduce.

Micro-mobility is relatively new though and you would need help. You would need to select an appropriate fleet of vehicles. The people on your campus would need to find electric scooters or electric bikes for commuting, and you need to provide a solution for this.

To be more specific, you need a short-term electric bike rental app. With such an app, you will be able to easily offer micro-mobility to the people on the campus. We at Devathon have built Autorent exactly for this.

What does Autorent do and how can it help you? How does it enable you to introduce micro-mobility on your campus? We explain these in this article, however, we will touch upon a few basics first.

Micro-mobility: What it is

You are probably thinking about micro-mobility relatively recently, aren’t you? A few relevant insights about it could help you to better appreciate its importance.

Micro-mobility is a new trend in transportation, and it uses vehicles that are considerably smaller than cars. Electric scooters (e-scooters) and electric bikes (e-bikes) are the most popular forms of micro-mobility, however, there are also e-unicycles and e-skateboards.

You might have already seen e-scooters, which are kick scooters that come with a motor. Thanks to its motor, an e-scooter can achieve a speed of up to 20 km/h. On the other hand, e-bikes are popular in China and Japan, and they come with a motor, and you can reach a speed of 40 km/h.

You obviously can’t use these vehicles for very long commutes, however, what if you need to travel a short distance? Even if you have a reasonable public transport facility in the city, it might not cover the route you need to take. Take the example of a large university campus. Such a campus is often at a considerable distance from the central business district of the city where it’s located. While public transport facilities may serve the central business district, they wouldn’t serve this large campus. Currently, many people drive their cars even for short distances.

As you know, that brings its own set of challenges. Vehicular traffic adds significantly to pollution, moreover, finding a parking spot can be hard in crowded urban districts.

Well, you can reduce your carbon footprint if you use an electric car. However, electric cars are still new, and many countries are still building the necessary infrastructure for them. Your large campus might not have the necessary infrastructure for them either. Presently, electric cars don’t represent a viable option in most geographies.

As a result, you need to buy and maintain a car even if your commute is short. In addition to dealing with parking problems, you need to spend significantly on your car.

All of these factors have combined to make people sit up and think seriously about cars. Many people are now seriously considering whether a car is really the best option even if they have to commute only a short distance.

This is where micro-mobility enters the picture. When you commute a short distance regularly, e-scooters or e-bikes are viable options. You limit your carbon footprints and you cut costs!

Businesses have seen this shift in thinking, and e-scooter companies like Lime and Bird have entered this field in a big way. They let you rent e-scooters by the minute. On the other hand, start-ups like Jump and Lyft have entered the e-bike market.

Think of your campus now! The people there might need to travel short distances within the campus, and e-scooters can really help them.

How micro-mobility can benefit you

What advantages can you get from micro-mobility? Let’s take a deeper look into this question.

Micro-mobility can offer several advantages to the people on your campus, e.g.:

• Affordability: Shared e-scooters are cheaper than other mass transportation options. Remember that the people on your campus will use them on a shared basis, and they will pay for their short commutes only. Well, depending on your operating model, you might even let them use shared e-scooters or e-bikes for free!
• Convenience: Users don’t need to worry about finding parking spots for shared e-scooters since these are small. They can easily travel from point A to point B on your campus with the help of these e-scooters.
• Environmentally sustainable: Shared e-scooters reduce the carbon footprint, moreover, they decongest the roads. Statistics from the pilot programs in cities like Portland and Denver showimpressive gains around this key aspect.
• Safety: This one’s obvious, isn’t it? When people on your campus use small e-scooters or e-bikes instead of cars, the problem of overspeeding will disappear. you will see fewer accidents.
