@danstepanov/react-native-markdown v1.0.2

react-native-markdown

A component for rendering Markdown in React Native. Pull requests welcome.

Known issues

• Due to a bug in underlying layout engine for React Native (facebook/css-layout), this module will put your application in an infinite loop unless you patch the upstream changes from css-layout's' Layout.c and Layout.h files.

Getting started

1. npm install --save @danstepanov/react-native-markdown

Usage

All you need is to require the @danstepanov/react-native-markdown module and then use the <Markdown/> tag.

var React = require('react-native');
var {
  AppRegistry,
  StyleSheet,
  View
} = React;
var Markdown = require('@danstepanov/react-native-markdown');

var mdApp = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    return (
      <View>
        <Markdown>
          Some *really* basic **Markdown**.
          {'\n\n'}
          | # | Name   | Age |{'\n'}
          |---|--------|-----|{'\n'}
          | 1 | John   | 19  |{'\n'}
          | 2 | Sally  | 18  |{'\n'}
          | 3 | Stream | 20  |{'\n'}
        </Markdown>
      </View>
    );
  }
});

AppRegistry.registerComponent('mdApp', () => mdApp);

Properties

style

Default style properties will be applied to the markdown. You will likely want to customize these styles, the following properties can be used to modify the rendered elements:
