@react-native-sandbox/controls

Adds sandbox controls to react-native-sandbox to quickly manipulate component properties directly in the UI.

Installation

Requires react-native-sandbox. Ensure that your sandbox is configured correctly before proceeding.

Open a terminal in your project's folder and run

npm install @react-native-sandbox/controls

Modify your sandbox root to load the plugin:

import ControlsPlugin from '@react-native-sandbox/controls';

// ...

function Sandbox() {
    return <SandboxRoot components={comonents} plugins={[ControlsPlugin]}>;
}

Usage

Controls are added to a sandbox by simply invoking the appropriate hook for the desired control. Controls are rendered in the order that the hooks are invoked.

import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
import { useText, useDivider, useNumber } from '@react-native-sandbox/controls';

function MyComponentSandbox() {
    // render a text input control first
    const label = useText("Custom Label", "My Component");

    // render a divider next
    useDivider();

    // render a number input control last
    const num = useNumber("Custom Number", 0);

    return (<MyComponent label={label} value={num} />);
}

The built-in controls are the following:
