React Native in GrabPay
Following the release of the GrabPay Merchant App, Grab adopted React Native inside the Grab Passenger app to maintain a single cross-platform codebase across iOS and Android. Integrating the framework into native applications required establishing bridge communication guidelines and incorporating React Native modules into the Grablet architecture. To streamline network communication, API calls were migrated from axios to native bridges returning promises, which eliminated the need to pass access tokens into JavaScript. The team also established a shared internal library of approximately 20 UI components alongside Redux for state management and react-navigation for routing. Modules like BillPay and Transaction History successfully launched across Southeast Asia while maintaining the performance and feel of native software.
CLI Flags in Practice + How to Make Your Own CLI Command with oclif
CLI commands commonly accept arguments, long flags, short flags, and flag arguments; environment variables and standard input are alternative data channels not covered in detail. GNU-style conventions use double dashes for long flags and single dashes for short flags; short flags can be stacked, and flag options may be separated by a space or equals sign, while short flags also allow no separator. The tutorial uses oclif to build greet-me, which prints a greeting based on a name supplied through -n or --name while registering version, help, name, and force flags. It scaffolds the project with npx oclif single greet-me, places handling code in src/index.ts, defaults the name to world, and runs the CLI through ./bin/run or an npm link.
