I’m starting my studies in JS and React-Native.
I developed an app that consumes data from a Mysql server that I have hosted on Uolhost, through a REST API that I have deployed as a Firebase Function.
It’s basically a list of the sales that were made on the day. The point is that to update the data the user needs to drag to run a Pull To Refresh, it made me think about the possibility of as soon as the record is recorded in the database my app detect this automatically and update the list.
I see this in many apps, but to be honest I can’t imagine what technology is used for this.
Use REST API? Nosql Database? How do I sync the data? Is there a specific name for such an approach? Where should I start my studies regarding this technology?
Thank you for your attention
