Damn, that's pretty impressive. I've recently started working with RN and while it's been much easier than working with Java/Swift, it's been far from smooth so far.

Did you build the entire app without a central backend? And if so, aren't you afraid at some point the tablet might get nicked and you lose all the data you had?

Hi @stefan

Yes, there's no backend. I mean, Firebase was kind of an overkill, that's why on Part II I'll try to explain the backup policy and the whole DB thing. Once I get more time and the feature is required, I might use a DB backend, either Firebase or a Node API.

Hi.

Super tutorial. I want to do the same project to practice with React Native. Can you please tell me which printer you bought on Amazon?

Having a view on the source code would be great to understand!

When do you have time to write the second part please?

Thanks !

We made whole POS in react native, much bigger than yours and in many many more hours indeed :) figurepos.com available on app store.
My plan is to write post about it soon as well. If you want to connect and share some experience/ask whatever you want, feel free to reach out to me

How about the cash drawer? should it open when the bluetooth printer finished printing or through the printers API? but it seems like it doesn't have an API for that
