Here is an example of React Native Card View using react-native-paper. If you want to explore some more options to make a Card View you can visit our previous post on React Native Card View.
For this example, we are using Card component provided by react-native-paper. So let’s get started.
To Make a React Native App
Getting started with React Native will help you to know more about the way you can make a React Native project. We are going to use react-native init to make our React Native App. Assuming that you have node installed, you can use npm to install the react-native-cli command line utility. Open the terminal and go to the workspace and run
npm install -g react-native-cliRun the following commands to create a new React Native project
react-native init ProjectNameIf you want to start a new project with a specific React Native version, you can use the --version argument:
react-native init ProjectName --version X.XX.Xreact-native init ProjectName --version react-native@nextThis will make a project structure with an index file named App.js in your project directory.
Installation of Dependencies
Open the terminal and jump into your project using
1 | cd ProjectName |
To use Card we need to install react-native-paper and react-native-vector-icons packages. To install these run the following command
1 | npm install react-native-paper --save |
1 | npm install react-native-vector-icons --save |
These commands will copy all the dependencies into your node_module directory.
Linking of Dependency
After the updation of React Native 0.60, they have introduced autolinking feature means we do not require to link the library but they have also mentioned that some libraries need linking and react-native-vector-icons is one of those cases. So for that we need to link the library using
1 | react-native link react-native-vector-icons |
CocoaPods Installation
Now we need to install pods
1 | cd ios && pod install && cd .. |
Now Open App.js in any code editor and replace the code with the following code.
App.js

To Run the React Native App
Open the terminal again and jump into your project using.cd ProjectNamereact-native run-androidreact-native run-ios (macOS only).
