React Native Confetti Cannon
This is an example to make a Gift Card Screen using react-native-confetti-cannon for Android and IOS devices. You can create any types of screens using react-native-confetti-cannon. You have seen this type of animations whenever you got a gift voucher or any cashback amount. Have a look at the sample code and comment below with more suggestions and amazing idea which can be done using Confetti Cannon.:)
In this example, we will see how to create a Gift Card Screen using react-native-confetti-cannon. So let’s get started.
Import ConfettiCannon using
import ConfettiCannon from 'react-native-confetti-cannon';To Show ConfettiCannon
<ConfettiCannon
count={200}
origin={{ x: -10, y: 0 }}
/>For this example, we will create a gift card using Basic View and Text Component provided by React Native. We have created a state shoot which will decide the fire of Confetti Cannon.
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 command line interface to make our React Native App.
If you have previously installed a global react-native-cli package, please remove it as it may cause unexpected issues:
npm uninstall -g react-native-cli @react-native-community/cliRun the following commands to create a new React Native project
npx react-native init ProjectNameIf you want to start a new project with a specific React Native version, you can use the --version argument:
npx react-native init ProjectName --version X.XX.XNote If the above command is failing, you may have old version of react-native or react-native-cli installed globally on your pc. Try uninstalling the cli and run the cli using npx.
This will make a project structure with an index file named App.js in your project directory.
Installation of Dependency
To use ConfettiCannon component we need to install react-native-confetti-cannon dependency.
To install this open the terminal and jump into your project using
cd ProjectNameRun the following command to install
npm install react-native-confetti-cannon --saveThis command will copy all the dependency into your node_module directory.
–save is optional, it is just to update the react-native-confetti-cannon dependency in your package.json file.
Code
Now Open App.js in any code editor and replace the code with the following code
App.js
// Gift Card Screen using react-native-confetti-cannon
// https://aboutreact.com/react-native-confetti-cannon/
// import React in our code
import React, {useEffect, useState} from 'react';
// import all the components we are going to use
import {
SafeAreaView,
Text,
View,
StyleSheet,
Image,
} from 'react-native';
//Import Library to make a cannon
import ConfettiCannon from 'react-native-confetti-cannon';
const App = () => {
const [shoot, setShoot] = useState(false);
useEffect(() => {
//Time out to fire the cannon
setTimeout(() => {
setShoot(true);
}, 1000);
}, []);
const handlePress = () => {
//To fire the cannon again
setShoot(false);
setTimeout(() => {
setShoot(true);
}, 500);
};
return (
<SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
<View style={styles.container}>
{/*Card to show the Gift*/}
<View style={styles.cardStyle}>
<Text style={styles.headingStyle}>
Congrates !!
</Text>
<View style={styles.simpleLineStyle} />
<Text style={styles.paragraph}>

/>
<Text style={styles.textLargeStyle}>

</Text>
<View
style={{
marginTop: 20,
backgroundColor: 'green',
width: '100%',
}}>
<Text
style={{
color: 'white',
fontSize: 18,
padding: 10,
textAlign: 'center',
}}
onPress={handlePress}>

</Text>
</View>
</View>
{/*Cannon which will fire whenever shoot is true*/}
{shoot ?
<ConfettiCannon
count={200}
origin={{x: -10, y: 0}}
/>
: null
}
</View>
</SafeAreaView>
);
};
export default App;
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
paddingTop: 30,
backgroundColor: '#ecf0f1',
padding: 12,
},

},
paragraph: {
margin: 24,
fontSize: 18,
textAlign: 'center',
},
logoStyle: {

width: 84,
},
});To Run the React Native App
Open the terminal again and jump into your project using.
cd ProjectName1. Start Metro Bundler
First, you will need to start Metro, the JavaScript bundler that ships with React Native. To start Metro bundler run following command:
npx react-native startOnce you start Metro Bundler it will run forever on your terminal until you close it. Let Metro Bundler run in its own terminal. Open a new terminal and run the application.
2. Start React Native Application
To run the project on an Android Virtual Device or on real debugging device:
npx react-native run-androidor on the iOS Simulator by running (macOS only)
npx react-native run-iosOutput Screenshots
Output in Online Emulator
