blurType

blurType (iOS 13 only)

Complete usage example that works on iOS and Android:

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { View, Image, Text, StyleSheet } from "react-native";
import { BlurView } from "@react-native-community/blur";

export default function Menu() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Image
        key={'blurryImage'}
        source={{ uri }}
        style={styles.absolute}
      />
      <Text style={styles.absolute}>Hi, I am some blurred text</Text>
      {/* in terms of positioning and zIndex-ing everything before the BlurView will be blurred */}
      <BlurView
        style={styles.absolute}
        blurType="light"
        blurAmount={10}
        reducedTransparencyFallbackColor="white"
      />
      <Text>I'm the non blurred text because I got rendered on top of the BlurView</Text>
    </View>
  )
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    justifyContent: "center",
    alignItems: "center"
  },
  absolute: {
    position: "absolute",
    top: 0,
    left: 0,
    bottom: 0,
    right: 0
  }
});

In this example, the Image component will be blurred, because the BlurView in positioned on top. But the Text will stay unblurred.

If the accessibility setting Reduce Transparency is enabled the BlurView will use reducedTransparencyFallbackColor as it's background color rather than blurring. If no reducedTransparencyFallbackColor is provided, theBlurViewwill use the default fallback color (white, black, or grey depending on blurType)

VibrancyView

Uses the same properties as BlurView (blurType, blurAmount, and reducedTransparencyFallbackColor).

The vibrancy effect lets the content underneath a blurred view show through more vibrantly

VibrancyView is only supported on iOS. Also note that the VibrancyView must contain nested views

import { VibrancyView } from "@react-native-community/blur";

export default function Menu() {
  return (
    <Image source={{ uri }} style={styles.absolute}>
      <VibrancyView blurType="light" style={styles.flex}>
      <Text>Hi, I am some vibrant text.</Text>
      </VibrancyView>
    </Image>
  )
}
