React Native Switch

React Native Switch is a Boolean control component which sets its value to true or false. It has an onValueChange callback method that updates its value prop. If the value prop is not changed, the Switch component continues supplied the value prop instead of the expected result of any user actions.

Props of Switch

PropsDescription
disabledIt is a Boolean property, if it is set to true then it cannot be toggled to switch. Its default value is false.
trackColorIt is used to customize the color for switch track.
ios_backgroundColorIt set the custom background color in iOS. The background can be visible either when the switch value is disabled or when the switch is false.
onValueChangeIt invoked when the switch value is changed.
testIDIt is used to locate this view in end-to-end tests.
thumbColorIt colors the foreground switch grip. When it is set to iOS, the switch grip will lose its drop shadow.
tintColorIt sets the border color on iOS and background color on Android when the switch is turned off. This property is deprecated; use trackColor at the place of it.
valueIt is the value of switch. When it is set to true, it turns on. The default value is false.

React Native Switch Example

In this example, we initialy set the Switch value to false and display a Text with 'off'. When the value of Switch change to true by calling onValueChange the Text component is reset to 'on'.

App.js


  1. import
     React, { Component } from 'react'  
  2. import {StyleSheet, Switch, View, Text} from 'react-native'  
  3.   
  4. export default class SwitchExample extends Component {  
  5.     state = {  
  6.         switchValue: false  
  7.     };  
  8.   
  9.     render() {  
  10.         return (  
  11.             <View style={styles.container}>  
  12.                 <Text style={styles.textStyle}>Switch Example</Text>  
  13.                 <Text style={styles.textStyle}>{this.state.switchValue ? 'on' :'off'}</Text>  
  14.                 <Switch  
  15.                     value={this.state.switchValue}  
  16.                     onValueChange ={(switchValue)=>this.setState({switchValue})}/>  
  17.             </View>  
  18.         );  
  19.     }  
  20. }  
  21. const styles = StyleSheet.create ({  
  22.      container: {  
  23.          flex: 1,  
  24.          alignItems: 'center',  
  25.          justifyContent: 'center',

How I Reduced the Size of My React Native App by 85%

How and Why You Should Do It I borrowed 25$ from my friend to start a Play Store Developer account to put up my first app. I had already created the app, created the assets and published it in the store. Nobody wants to download a todo list app that costs 25mb of bandwidth and another 25 MB of storage space. So today I am going to share with you how I reduced the size of Tet from 25 MB to around 3.5 MB. Size Matters Like any beginner, I wrote my app using Expo, the awesome React Native platform that makes creating native apps a breeze. There is no native setup, you write javascript and Expo builds the binaries for you. I love everything about Expo except the size of the binaries. Each binary weighs around 25 MB regardless of your app. So the first thing I did was to migrate my existing Expo app to React Native. Migrating to React Native react-native init  a new project with the same name Copy the  source  files over from Expo project Install all de...

React Native - Text Input

In this chapter, we will show you how to work with  TextInput  elements in React Native. The Home component will import and render inputs. App.js import React from 'react' ; import Inputs from './inputs.js' const App = () => { return ( < Inputs /> ) } export default App Inputs We will define the initial state. After defining the initial state, we will create the  handleEmail  and the  handlePassword  functions. These functions are used for updating state. The  login()  function will just alert the current value of the state. We will also add some other properties to text inputs to disable auto capitalisation, remove the bottom border on Android devices and set a placeholder. inputs.js import React , { Component } from 'react' import { View , Text , TouchableOpacity , TextInput , StyleSheet } from 'react-native' class Inputs extends Component { state = { ...
