How to create an iOS Widget with React Native (Expo / EAS)

First, copy the config plugin from this repo: https://github.com/gaishimo/eas-widget-example

You can reference my PRs there too (which, at the time of writing, aren't merged).

After adding the config plugin (see app.json) with your dev team ID, as well as a bundle ID, you can edit the widget folder to edit your code. Then npx expo run:ios (or npx expo run:android).

Workflow

After npx expo run:ios, open the ios folder, and open the file that ends in .xcworkspace in XCode. Make sure you have the latest macOS and XCode versions. If you don't, everything will break.

Why I hate TypeScript

Warning: These views are highly oppinated and might have some slightly incorrect facts. My experience with typescript was about 2 weeks in Node and a week in angular2.

Not Standard

TypeScript is implementing their own take on JavaScript. Some of the things they are writing will likely never make it in an official ES* spec either.

Technologies that have competing spec / community driven development have a history of failing; take: Flash, SilverLight, CoffeeScript, the list goes on. If you have a large code base, picking TypeScript is something your going to be living with for a long time. I can take a bet in 3 years JavaScript will still be around without a doubt.

Its also worth noting that they have built some things like module system and as soon as the spec came out they ditched it and started using that. Have fun updating!

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions
