Documentation

Coming soon!

Setup

React Native Web UI Components was created to facilitate the development of write once, run anywhere web and mobile apps. In order to accomplish that, this library is heavily based on React Native and React Native Web.

Requirements

First you need to install react ^16.8.3 (this library uses react-hooks).

yarn add react

If you're using Expo, they use a custom version of react-native and therefore you need to check what is the React Native repository for the Expo version you're using. For Expo v33.x.x you'd run:

yarn add https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-33.0.0.tar.gz

If your project is also being used for web, please install React Native Web. Make sure your babel/webpack build replace all react-native imports with react-native-web (details here). If you used React Create App, aliasing is already taken care off for you.

yarn add react-dom react-native-web

Installation

Install the library using yarn or npm.

yarn add react-native-web-ui-components

Mobile

Example using react-router:

import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { useHistory } from 'react-router';
import { Router, Switch } from 'react-router-native';
import { UIProvider } from 'react-native-web-ui-components';

const theme = {
  input: {
    focused: StyleSheet.create({
      border: {
        borderColor: 'yellow',
      },
    }),
  },
};

const Theme = (props) => {
  const history = useHistory();
  return (
    <UIProvider theme={theme} history={history}>
      <EntryScreen {...props} />
    </UIProvider>
  );
};

const App = props = (
  <Router>
    <Switch>
      <Theme {...props} />
    </Switch>
  </Router>
);

export default App;

Example using react-navigation:

import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { NavigationContainer, useNavigation } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';
import { UIProvider } from 'react-native-web-ui-components';

const theme = {
  input: {
    focused: StyleSheet.create({
      border: {
        borderColor: 'yellow',
      },
    }),
  },
};

const Stack = createStackNavigator();

const Theme = (props) => {
  const navigation = useNavigation();

  const history = {
    location: {
      pathname: () => navigation.state.routeName,
    },
    push: routeName => navigation.navigate(routeName),
    replace: routeName => navigation.dispatch(
      StackActions.replace(routeName),
    ),
  };

  return (
    <UIProvider theme={theme} history={history}>
      <EntryScreen {...props} />
    </UIProvider>
  );
};

const App = props = (
  <NavigationContainer>
    <Stack.Navigator>
      <Theme {...props} />
    </Stack.Navigator>
  </NavigationContainer>
);

export default App;

Client Side Rendering

import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { useHistory } from 'react-router';
import { Router, Switch } from 'react-router-dom';
import { UIProvider } from 'react-native-web-ui-components';

const theme = {
  input: {
    focused: StyleSheet.create({
      border: {
        borderColor: 'yellow',
      },
    }),
  },
};

const Theme = (props) => {
  const history = useHistory();
  return (
    <UIProvider theme={theme} history={history}>
      <EntryScreen {...props} />
    </UIProvider>
  );
};

const App = props = (
  <Router>
    <Switch>
      <Theme {...props} />
    </Switch>
  </Router>
);

export default App;

Server Side Rendering

This library was built with Google's new standard Accelerated Mobile Page in mind. Although most components exported are AMP compatible by default, some components will have different implementations for AMP and non-AMP pages. This usually happens when the usabability would be degraded by complying with AMP requirements. If you're using server-side rendering (SSR), set amp to true for AMP pages.

// App.js
import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { useHistory } from 'react-router';
import { StaticRouter, Switch } from 'react-router-dom';
import { UIProvider } from 'react-native-web-ui-components';

const theme = {
  input: {
    focused: StyleSheet.create({
      border: {
        borderColor: 'yellow',
      },
    }),
  },
};

const Theme = (props) => {
  const history = useHistory();

  const { amp } = props;
  return (
    <UIProvider theme={theme} history={history} amp={amp}>
      <EntryScreen {...props} />
    </UIProvider>
  );
};

const App = (props) = {
  const { pathname, context } = props;
  return (
    <StaticRouter location={pathname} context={context}>
      <Switch>
        <Theme {...props} />
      </Switch>
    </StaticRouter>
  );
};

export default App;

// index.js
import Koa from 'koa';
import ReactDOMServer from 'react-dom/server';
import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native';
import { Helmet } from 'react-helmet';
import App from './App';

const app = new Koa();

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

const renderer = async (ctx) => {
  const context = {};
  const pathname = ctx.request.path;
  const amp = /^\/amp/.test(pathname);

  const initialProps = { pathname, context, amp };

  const { element, getStyleElement } = AppRegistry.getApplication(
    'App',
    { initialProps },
  );

  let body;
  try {
    body = await ReactDOMServer.renderToString(App);
  } catch (err) {
    ctx.status = 500;
    return ctx.redirect('/500');
  }

  if (context.url) {
    if (/^\/404/.test(context.url)) {
      ctx.status = 404;
    }
    return ctx.redirect(context.url);
  }

  const helmet = Helmet.renderStatic();
  const markup = ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup(getStyleElement());

  ctx.body = `
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html ${helmet.htmlAttributes.toString()}>
      <head>
          ${helmet.title.toString()}
          ${helmet.meta.toString()}
          ${helmet.link.toString()}
          ${markup}
          ${helmet.style.toString()}
      </head>
      <body ${helmet.bodyAttributes.toString()}>
        <div id="root">
          ${body}
        </div>
      </body>
    </html>
  `;
};

app.use(renderer);
app.listen(3000);

Usage

React Native Web UI Components was developed with file size in mind and therefore exports individual components without the need of using the entire library.

import Autocomplete from 'react-native-web-ui-components/Autocomplete';

Class Names

While mobile components are indiferent to the className property, that is very useful for the web. React Native Web components no longer accept class names but for convenience, this library accepts the className property for all exported components. Please note that class names are converted into data-class attribute.

import React from 'react';
import { Row } from 'react-native-web-ui-components';

// You must use the Helmet export by this library to avoid conflicts.
import Helmet, { style } from 'react-native-web-ui-components/Helmet';

const MyComponent = () => (
  <React.Fragment>
    <Helmet>
      <style>
        {`
          [data-class~="MyComponent__Row"] {
            width: calc(100% - 20px);
          }
        `}
      </style>
    </Helmet>
    <Row className="MyComponent__Row" />
  </React.Fragment>
);
