WIP: Experiment to use HTML like markup to create stylized text in react-native.
Why?
React Native provide a Text element for stylized text. Instead of using NSAttributedString
,
you creat nested Text:
<Text style={{fontWeight: 'bold'}}>
I am bold
<Text style={{color: 'red'}}> and red </Text>
</Text>
While this approach is excellent for static interface text, what if we have dynamic text with format we
do not know until we use it? HtmlText
is a component to present a limited subset of HTML as
React Native views.
Important: This is not going to replace your WebView
for HTML rendering, instead it use a
limited subset of HTML and try to present it using native Text
elements in a reasonable way.
Example
Input
render: function() {
var html = `<p>Hello world <b>world</b> <i>foo</i> bar hahh</p>`
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<HtmlText style={styles.welcome} html={html}></HtmlText>
</View>
);
}
Input
render: function() {
var html = `<blockquote><p>Hello world <b>world</b> <i>foo</i> <blockquote>bar hahh</blockquote></p></blockquote>`
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<HtmlText style={styles.welcome} html={html}></HtmlText>
</View>
);
}
