react-native-common-elements

Having developed and published a large number of react-native applications and boilerplate code, of all the things I can't live without is this set of customisable layout components.

Usage

• npm i react-native-common-elements --save
• import { init, em, Row, FormGroup, Flex, Container, Column, Text, Bold, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 } from 'react-native-common-elements';

Components

• <H1>...<H6> - text ranging from 1em to 2.5 em
• <Text/> - text with standardised font size and styles
• <Bold/> - same as text but bold
• <Container/> - container with standardised guttering
• <Row space noPad/> - Horizontal view with options to space apart and negate container gutter padding
• <Flex/> - view with flex, can override value with value={x}
• <Column/> columns within a row element, uses standard guttering

Util

• em(value, baseValue) returns unit based on device width

Customisation

Optionally you can override any style property or style variables by calling init, these are deeply merged when rendering see styles.js and styleVariables.js for full list of properties

init({text:{color:'red'},h1:{color:'blue'}},{fontSize:16});

Example

<Flex>
    <Row space>
        <Column>
            <Text>Text</Text>
        </Column>
        <Column>
            <Text>Text2</Text>
        </Column>
    </Row>
    <Container style={{ justifyContent: 'center' }}>
        <FormGroup>
            <H1>Header 1</H1>
            <H2>Header 2</H2>
            <H3>Header 3</H3>
            <H4>Header 4</H4>
            <H5>Header 5</H5>
            <H6>Header 6</H6>
            <Bold>Header 6</Bold>
        </FormGroup>
        <FormGroup>
            <Row>
                <Flex value={1 / 3}>
                    <Bold>1/3</Bold>
                </Flex>
                <Flex value={2 / 3}>
                    <Bold>2/3</Bold>
                </Flex>
            </Row>
        </FormGroup>
    </Container>
</Flex>
