Experience with Native Script

NativeScript by itself, appears to be a reasonable environment for the development of simple apps between a web app and mobile apps.

Advantages of using it are:

1>Provides a way to split custom content, including CSS styles, into separate files per target platform

2>Cross-platform. Builds for Android and iOS. It deals with the platforms differences very well.

3>NativeScript allows our front-end developers to build actually native mobile apps with the javascript we already know well.

4>NativeScript gives you 100% day zero Native API access

5>With NativeScript you get 4 architectural choices, JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular and Vue. Choose the one you are comfortable with.

General Suggestions to be kept in mind(dis- advantages):

1>The frequency of updates can make it hard to stay fixed to a common version. I found that there were so many improvements happening that it was worth bumping versions and adjusting the code at least every 3 months. This added extra development time, which also added stress

2>Tooling. Overall, NS could use better tooling. Again, RN does it better.

Just General Overview :

When you want to target Web and Mobile (iOS + Android), using a single code base. Then you can use NativeScript Angular or NativeScript Vue. If your app is going to do a lot of heavy lifting in the background, requires building widgets that can be added on homescreen, or simply is going to be a service, which doesn’t require UI, then NativeScript is not an ideal fit for that project.
