Gift Card Screen using react-native-confetti-cannon

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/cli

Run the following commands to create a new React Native project

npx react-native init ProjectName

If 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.X

Note 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 ProjectName

Run the following command to install

npm install react-native-confetti-cannon --save

This 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}>
            You got a Cashback
          </Text>
          <Image
            style={styles.logoStyle}
            source={{
              uri:
                'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AboutReact/sampleresource/master/gift.png',
            }}
          />
          <Text style={styles.textLargeStyle}>
            $22.22
          </Text>
          <View
            style={{
              marginTop: 20,
              backgroundColor: 'green',
              width: '100%',
            }}>
            <Text
              style={{
                color: 'white',
                fontSize: 18,
                padding: 10,
                textAlign: 'center',
              }}
              onPress={handlePress}>
              Claim
            </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,
  },
  cardStyle: {
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
    padding: 24,
    backgroundColor: 'white',
  },
  textLargeStyle: {
    margin: 24,
    fontSize: 40,
    fontWeight: 'bold',
    textAlign: 'center',
    color: 'green',
  },
  simpleLineStyle: {
    backgroundColor: 'grey',
    width: '100%',
    height: 1,
  },
  headingStyle: {
    margin: 24,
    fontSize: 20,
    fontWeight: 'bold',
    textAlign: 'center',
    color: 'green',
  },
  paragraph: {
    margin: 24,
    fontSize: 18,
    textAlign: 'center',
  },
  logoStyle: {
    height: 84,
    width: 84,
  },
});

To Run the React Native App

Open the terminal again and jump into your project using.

cd ProjectName

1. 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 start

Once 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-android

or on the iOS Simulator by running (macOS only)

npx react-native run-ios
