React Native *

If you’re building a multilingual React Native (or web) app, you’ve probably tried react-i18next, i18n-js, LinguiJS, or similar libraries.

But in every project, the same issues come up:

❌ Unused key-value pairs are never removed
❌ Content gets duplicated
❌ Ensuring format consistency across languages is painful
❌ i18next doesn’t generate TypeScript types by default – so t("my.key") won’t throw even if it’s been deleted
❌ Localization platforms like Lokalise or Locize get expensive fast

Frustrated by these challenges, I waited for a better solution... then decided to build one myself: Intlayer.

Hi all! The dev.family team is in touch. In this article, we are sharing a short guide on how to install Splash Screen in a cross-platform app written in React Native with support for multiple themes.

Splash screen is the first screen that users see before loading into the main application. This screen is perhaps the best way to make the name of your app, and in general, its entire name, more memorable.

But this is not the main role of the splash screen. Under it, for example, you can hide receiving data from the API and loading the main application. We do this when we show the loader on the screen when loading the same data. This allows you to improve the UX and immediately demonstrate the finished application to the user. And as a result, remove the extra loader when opening it for the first time.

In this short guide, we will look at installing splash screens for iOS and Android using the react-native framework using the react-native-splash-screen library.

I recently stumbled upon a package called dart_mappable, and I feel compelled to share what I liked about it. If you're involved in Dart or Flutter development, this might be of particular interest to you.
