I would like to create a repo for a Library for UI Components thats reusable in multiple react native projects. I want to use NativeWind (tailwind for react native)
Can anyone give me any tips on how I would go about doing this? I have tried setting up a library with nativewind installed.
But when I create a component styled using nativewind, then try to run an example of using said component it doesn't show any of the styling.
I used react-native-builder-bob for boilerplate library.

I'm creating a vue native app but the input text looks like an input text on HTML. I thought vue-native would create a native input with native styles per device.
Do I forget something?
I found https://nativebase.io/ which seems to be the solution I need. Since I'm new on this native apps, is this library the way to implement native styles per device?
While react-native renders native views, it doesn't take native (platform and os-version-specific) styles to apply to them. These would look different on each platform and version of the device, and also be impossible to style from react-native. There are some components that look like native ones (e.g. Button, Switch) but they are also styled from react-native so that you can override any styles you want
So yes, the only way to make react-native views look like native ones is to style them accordingly, and that's what libraries like nativebase do
I am new to React-Native and I am currently struggling out for creating a simple Image-slider in react-native. I went through some of the links like: https://reactnativeexample.com/tag/carousel/
But not able to figure out if react-native provides a library which I can import directly in my code to implement an Image-slider.
Is there a native library which I can use or is there some other procedure to create an image-slider?
I want a slider as presented in this website: https://www.jssor.com/
For example, when you want to use react-native-snap-carousel, you can follow the instructions in the usage part of that link
https://github.com/archriss/react-native-snap-carousel#usage
And also, If you want to use so simple carousel, you can use
<FlatList horizontal={true}/>
I'm trying to understand how I can do a signature capture in React Native. My App is created with create-react-native-app and Expo and I'd prefer to not have to eject the app to get this functionality to work.
Would it be possible to wrap something like this in a webview? https://github.com/szimek/signature_pad
I've also looked at this project, https://github.com/RepairShopr/react-native-signature-capture but it requires me to eject the app and use react-native link.
Looking for any advice or suggestions on how to implement this feature while keeping my project as straightforward as possible (ideally, using create-react-native-app, but if this isn't possible could someone please explain to me why?)
The way React Native works is that each component available in React Native maps to a native component in the underlying platform.
ie. a <Image /> is an ImageView in Android and a UIImageView.h in iOS.
The Javascript code itself runs in a Javascript thread on each platform and as you use Components in React Native, there's a translation layer that passes information from JS into the React Native bridge that then results in corresponding native components being created.
By default, React Native has included the following components: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/components-and-apis.html#basic-components which means that only those components come out-of-the-box in React Native. If you want other components, then you have 2 options, either create a "composite" component in which your JS component is written into other JS components or, if your feature needs a native component not yet exposed by React Native, write your own "native" component to expose certain native functionality to your React Native code.
The way Expo works is that they have wrapped React Native and a handful of 3rd party components and built it within their application. The reason why you can't use a 3rd party native component they don't support is because when that component is used, the app itself doesn't have translation code to go from JS to a native Android/iOS view.
So, to do what you're asking, you'd need to find either a "native" drawing component that Expo has included in their platform/app. OR you need to find a "composite" drawing component that is built with other default React Native components (or other components Expo supports).
ie. On Android, I might build this with a Canvas view, but from what I can tell React Native doesn't support that object natively, so I would probably write this myself, etc.
It's hard for Expo to support every 3rd party "native" component out there because React Native is open source and it iterates so fast that most community-built components aren't always up to date or they might conflict with one another.
I am using react-native-signature-capture.
Working properly on both Android and iOS.
I know it's been a while, but there is an interesting article here: https://blog.expo.io/drawing-signatures-with-expo-25d1629ca1ac
Wait, but how?
Using “expo-pixi”, you can add a component that lets you choose your brush’s color, thickness, and opacity. Then when your user lifts her finger, you get a callback. From there you can take a screenshot of the transparent view or get the raw point data if that’s what you’re looking for.
I am bridging React native and Swift Modules. I have completely done that. I am trying to add my existing IOS project and wanted to add in React Native.
For instance, When i create a new project for ReactNative. My Current Project become
ReactNative/ios
Now Is there any way to export the IOS project directly in the folder and make a reference to call from React Native ?
You can bridge native with react native. you can either import modules from either side or create buttons and shift your control to each side.
- You can create a button in RN and call Native module or complete project. please have look at this link
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/communication-ios.html
Hope this helps. I will be most probably developing a project which allows you to bridge 2 apps by one button with complete documentation.
The official documentation for React Native explains how to add React Native views to existing native applications. However, it does not explain how to run React Native code written in JavaScript from a native application, without having to display any React Native component. Does the framework provide a way to do this?
I think reason being, R-N works on top of Native components and not other way round. I have not come across anything that you are looking.
