Framer React Native Demo

Shows using a basic frame with React Native Web.

Not suitable for production use until the following issues are fixed:

1. Framer bundles the "react-dom" module without the "react-dom/unstable-native-dependencies" module. This can partially be worked around by installing "react-dom" into the project locally, but Framer will revert to using the built-in one regularly and the canvas or preview will need to be reloaded.

Setup

Getting the project setup is relatively simple:

1. Create a new Framer project
2. From the menubar choose File > Show Project Folder (or ⌘⌥P)
3. From the menubar choose Finder > Services > New Terminal at Folder
4. Run the following yarn add react react-dom @types/react-native react-native@npm:react-native-web*

* This will alias react-native-web -> react-native without needing a WebPack config.

Then create a new code file in Framer called App.tsx and paste the following:

import * as React from "react"
import { Frame, addPropertyControls, ControlType } from "framer"
import { View, Text } from "react-native"

class App extends React.Component<{ text: string; background: string }> {
    static defaultProps = { text: "Hello World", background: "#44bb44" }
    render() {
        return (
            <View
                style={{
                    flex: 1,
                    alignItems: "center",
                    justifyContent: "center",
                    backgroundColor: this.props.background,
                    height: "100%",
                }}
            >
                <View>
                    <Text style={{ color: "#ffffff" }}>{this.props.text}</Text>
                </View>
            </View>
        )
    }
}

export const FramerApp: React.FC<{
    text: string
    background: string
}> = props => (
    <Frame size="100%">
        <App {...props} />
    </Frame>
)

addPropertyControls(FramerApp, {
    text: {
        type: ControlType.String,
        defaultValue: App.defaultProps.text,
        title: "Text",
    },
    background: {
        type: ControlType.Color,
        defaultValue: App.defaultProps.background,
        title: "Background",
    },
})

When previewed this will give you a very basic React Native component containing a green frame and the text "Hello World" with custom controls that allow configuration of the text and background color.
