There are many companies that continue to neglect their need for having a website. Sure, it may be a thorough process to start building your own domain or platform, but there are many companies out there with the experience and expertise to help. One of which is our team at Nimi. We are confident that we can support your website development efforts successfully.

JavaScript Thread: Where your React Native JavaScript code runs.
Native Modules Thread: Where the native code executes.
UI Thread: Responsible for rendering the user interface.

Nimi is a revolutionary product development firm that supports entrepreneurs in acquiring new businesses, expanding their TAM, retaining current clients, and closing agreements. We realize your ideas as a full-service product development company. Though everyone has brilliant ideas, those who can carry them through to completion are the true innovators. Companies choose us for our impeccable testimonials, unbeatable ROI, and more.

On that note, we’d love to share with you one of our recent success stories. Clutch has named us as one of the game-changing Web Developers in California and we are excited to finally share this with all of you.

Clutch, for those of you who don’t know, they are a B2B ratings and reviews platform based in Washington, DC. They evaluate technology service and solutions companies based on the quality of work, thought leadership, and client reviews. A rapidly expanding startup, Clutch has become the go-to resource in the agency space.

“Our key success metric was completing the work before the end of July 2023, and Nimi delivered on time — they were fast. The quality of their work was okay. We had to make some fixes, but that was fine. They delivered their work on time and on budget. On top of that, the team’s communication was great. They were super proactive and honest. For tools, we used Slack and Trello.” Founder & CEO, B2B Payment API Company

“Their hiring process was very good and I felt confident in the engineers they had brought onboard specifically for our fintech business. Their leadership was so attentive; I felt like they were my partners. The technical skill of their team was both deep and wide which allowed us to configure our teams in the best way possible and build in parallel.''

They communicated daily, sometimes twice a day because of the time difference. We could always count on them to attend video meetings for stand-up. Nimi's engineers were always receptive to our feedback and they were quick to make adjustments as necessary. They were flexible in working with a startup too and knew how to pivot with us as we made decisions based on real-time data.” Loc Nguyen, Head of Engineering at Productfy

Why Use Native Modules?

While React Native offers many built-in components and APIs, certain features may require access to platform-specific functionalities that are not exposed by default. For instance, accessing low-level hardware features or third-party native libraries necessitates creating custom native modules.

How I Implemented TheBridge Repository

The Bridge repository demonstrates how to build a React Native bridge and native modules. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how I implemented it.

Step 1: Setting Up the React Native Project

npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init exampleProject

This generated a boilerplate React Native project. I then set up the necessary files for implementing the native module.

Step 2: Implementing the Android Native Module

When you run a piece of code, tasks go into the call stack, which is where synchronous tasks are handled.
f an asynchronous task (like a network request or a timer) is encountered, it gets pushed to the event queue after it completes.
The event loop continuously checks the call stack and event queue. When the call stack is empty, it takes tasks from the event queue and processes them.

This generated a boilerplate React Native project. I then set up the necessary files for implementing the native module.

The Problem with Callbacks: “Callback Hell”

While callbacks work, they can get messy quickly. As the complexity grows, you might end up with deeply nested functions that are hard to read and maintain, commonly called callback hell:

This quickly becomes a nightmare to manage. Thankfully, JavaScript has evolved, introducing Promises and later async/await, which allow us to write cleaner and more readable code.

Promises: A Better Way

A Promise in JavaScript is like saying, “I promise to do something when this task finishes.” You can attach .then() to a promise to handle the result and .catch() to deal with any errors.

Here’s the previous coffee shop example using Promises:

With promises, the code becomes more linear and easier to read. You can chain .then() to handle sequential tasks.

Async/Await: The Cleanest Approach

Finally, the introduction of async/await made asynchronous code even simpler to work with. It allows us to write asynchronous code that looks like synchronous code — more natural and readable.

Here’s how you’d rewrite the coffee shop example using async/await:

With async/await, the code looks cleaner, as if the asynchronous operations are happening one after the other, even though they’re still non-blocking in nature.

The Engine Behind Asynchronous JavaScript: The Event Loop

Behind the scenes, JavaScript uses something called the event loop to handle asynchronous tasks. It’s like a smart traffic controller, making sure all tasks are executed in the right order without blocking each other.

Here’s how it works in a nutshell:

When you run a piece of code, tasks go into the call stack, which is where synchronous tasks are handled.
f an asynchronous task (like a network request or a timer) is encountered, it gets pushed to the event queue after it completes.
The event loop continuously checks the call stack and event queue. When the call stack is empty, it takes tasks from the event queue and processes them.

Wrapping Up

Asynchronous programming is at the heart of modern JavaScript, allowing developers to build fast, responsive applications that can handle multiple tasks at once. While callbacks were the original tool, they often led to messy code. Promises and async/await have since provided cleaner, more readable ways to handle asynchronous tasks.

Whether you’re fetching data, handling timers, or making a coffee shop order, understanding async in JavaScript helps you write code that’s efficient and maintainable.

As many of you know, Nimi (www.nimidev.com) started as a product management consulting firm, helping founders with product strategy and hiring the first CPO or PMs. Over the past few years, we expanded our services to include web and mobile development, API development and test automation.
