React Native - How to do Blur View like iOS or instagram? - react-native

Question

Background Transparency with BLUR
Is it possible to blur view without using background Image? I want to show the parent content on top of the background blur view in modal.
Similar kind of this:
Tried with react-native-blur :
Its actually blurring the background image. I want to blur and show the content which is behind the modal.
Tried along with react-native-overlay : But no change.

well if you are
using expo
then you should go and check out this link here
else if you are like me
who loves to use 'react-native init' and want some blurry effect based views then i have this for you!
https://github.com/voronianski/react-native-effects-view
an awesome library
it would be very simple to use it like
"if the dialogbox is open then render The blur view else render simple",
here is a simple example for basic how to use!
...imports
var EffectsView = require('react-native-effects-view');
var App = React.createClass({
renderVibrant() {
return (
<View>
<Text style={styles.text}>Do you feel blurry??</Text>
</View>
);
},
render() {
return (
<EffectsView
style={styles.view}
blurStyle="dark"
vibrantContent={this.renderVibrant()}
>
<Image style={styles.bg} source={require('image!bg')} />
</EffectsView>
);
}
});
