Title

Code Splitting with React Native

Abstract

The idea behind this talk is to go through the existing landscape of bundling techniques for React Native, followed by a detailed introduction to an alternative idea of code splitting that I have worked on.

General Outline:

• Introduction
  • Who am I
  • What do I do
  • Overview of the talk
• Current techniques
  • Short intro of Regular and RAM bundles and how they are loaded
  • Differences between each in terms of underlying implementation, performance, startup time, etc.
• Code Splitting
  • Comparison to traditional bundling techniques
  • Explanation of all the different parts needed to make this work:
    • Metro support
    • Native Modules for bridging
    • RCTCxxBridge for lazy JS injection
  • Live/Recorded Demo
• Conclusion
  • Advantages
  • Drawbacks
  • Future

Note: This talk is a reformed version of my experiment discussed in this blog: https://medium.com/react-native-training/lazy-bundle-loading-in-react-native-5f717b65482a
