Handy toolbelt to deal nicely with offline/online connectivity in a React Native app. Smooth redux integration ✈️
Role in this project:Mobile Developer
Mobile DeveloperContributions:20 releases, 1 review, 159 commits in 5 years 10 months
Contributions summary:Raul focused on developing and integrating features related to offline and online connectivity within a React Native application. They implemented a Redux reducer to manage connection status, created a higher-order component (HOC) named `withNetworkConnectivity` to provide network status to components, and developed middleware for handling network calls in offline mode. They further implemented and tested the offline queue functionality, ensuring actions are retried when the network connection is restored.
