WebSocket/JS for Mobile

Mobile Beta
1

Hello everyone,

just wondering if there is any roadmap for Bubble Native Mobile that shows when WebSockets and JS will be available withing Mobile Editor.

I believe that Mobile Editor is made to be “On the go” and to make the best of it, me (and you) want really to develop a real-time systems which is going to be extremely expensive in terms of WUs if you use Bubble DB only. That’s why using WebSockets could help a lot with that in terms of optimisation and WUs consume reduction. But so far I can’t see that JS or WebSockets can be integrated which is frustrating as WebView is not the best solution so far. Is there any plugin like Toolbox that help with this?

Many thanks,

@nick.carroll any feedback on this or roadmap? Would be great if Mobile can integrate with external DB like Supabase to manage requests that requires realtime while keeping the simplicity of using the Mobile Editor which is great.

Many thanks for your support.

We do not have any plans currently to explicitly support custom web socket implementations.

We will be releasing a mobile plugin editor, however, which will allow you to create completely custom react native plugins for your mobile apps. Not sure if this would enable the ability to create a “websocket” plugin though, would need to do more research here

Thanks for your reply Nick, much appreciated. I will study a workaround for now to manage realtime requests.

Many thanks,

Thanks all, that’s good idea. I think this is a good option for a chat system in terms of WUs optimization.
