Simple Usage

import CodeEditor, { CodeEditorSyntaxStyles } from '@rivascva/react-native-code-editor';

const Example = (): JSX.Element => {
    return (
        <CodeEditor
            style={{
                fontSize: 20,
                inputLineHeight: 26,
                highlighterLineHeight: 26,
            }}
            language="javascript"
            syntaxStyle={CodeEditorSyntaxStyles.atomOneDark}
            showLineNumbers
        />
    );
};

export default Example;

Keyboard Alignment

Use the marginBottom style to accommodate the keyboard.

Note: See useKeyboard and useSafeAreaInsets for details on the hooks.

import { SafeAreaView, useSafeAreaInsets } from 'react-native-safe-area-context';
import { useKeyboard } from '@react-native-community/hooks';
import CodeEditor, { CodeEditorSyntaxStyles } from '@rivascva/react-native-code-editor';

const Example = (): JSX.Element => {
    const keyboard = useKeyboard();
    const insets = useSafeAreaInsets();

    return (
        <SafeAreaView>
            <CodeEditor
                style={{
                    ...{
                        fontSize: 20,
                        inputLineHeight: 26,
                        highlighterLineHeight: 26,
                    },
                    ...(keyboard.keyboardShown
                        ? { marginBottom: keyboard.keyboardHeight - insets.bottom }
                        : {}),
                }}
                language="javascript"
                syntaxStyle={CodeEditorSyntaxStyles.github}
                showLineNumbers
            />
        </SafeAreaView>
    );
