I agree. It's super wierd to come back monday and have new warnings block the view because RN decided that .isMounted is now deprecated.

Our solution to the npm problem was to use yarn and to commit the yarn bundle to the repo

You mean the yarn.lock file?

This gives you the same results on all laptops

No the actual yarn binary (it's just a single js bundle)

It effectively freezes yarn to a specific version

Yarn.lock must be committed to the repo as well of course

Ah, have you had problems with different yarn-versions?

indeed

different yarn versions resolve package conflicts differently. the result is that one person or another's yarn install will stubbornly insist on updating yarn.lock

Wow, that’s awful. We never ran in to that issue though

it's js...

BUT committing the file to the repo is a pretty neat way around the problem

plus people don't have to install yarn anymore - they can just use bin/pinned-yarn

I don’t know, we have the same issue for our firmware, needing a specific version of gcc. We put it on s3, exclude bin/ from git and then have a script that downloads the executable there when setting up the project.

aha!

I have something for you then 🙂

https://github.com/pesterhazy/moth

it's still very new but it's built exactly for this purpose

Awesome!

you add a moth.json to your project root, then run moth path --alias my-gcc-4.5 --find bin/gcc. Moth will ensure that the version is present (by comparing the hash) and print out the absolute path to the gcc executable from the downloaded, unpacked archive

best of all, this operation is fast (<150ms) if the dep is up to date

Cloud/s3 support not implemented yet though 🙂

My only issue is that it is written in Python and not in Clojure 😜

I considered lumo but... python is installed everywhere (for bootstrapping) and has ~40ms startup time

it's perfect for the job

Yeah I totally get that

moth comes with a neat feature

it has a main binary moth that is only 2k

it requires only python 2.6+ installed on the system

but it knows how to bootstrap itself from the web (like boot/lein)

so if you commit it to the repo, everyone on the team can use it right away

Neat

add direnv to that, you can add bin/ to your path, so you can just type moth whatever

it's as if it was installed globally

https://direnv.net/

direnv looks awesome! Have been looking for something like that

it's really the missing piece of the puzzle for Unix/shells

best kept secret 🙂

Haha yeah

Hmm, how would you use this component: https://github.com/crazycodeboy/react-native-easy-toast ? My current approach doesn't seem to work and I can't figure out if it has something to do with the {DURATION} thing that the example on the README has in the import statement:

(defn create-element [rn-comp opts & children]
  (apply js/React.createElement rn-comp (clj->js opts) children))
(defonce toast  (partial create-element (js/require "react-native-easy-toast")))
... at the bottom of the root view ...
(toast {:ref "toast"})

From what I find on the error message for RN it is related to errors in the import statement.

I had to (aget (js/require "react-native-easy-toast") "default") to get out the toast.

Now I just have to figure out how to do this mutation that they describe in the readme.

this.refs.toast.show("message") seems quite un-functional.

@rovanion use a callback ref: https://gist.github.com/pesterhazy/4d9df2edc303e5706d547aeabe0e17e1
