This is an Example of Social Icon using React Native Elements. React Native Element provides lots of cool stuff to use while making a React Native Application and Social Icons are one of them. Developers from a web development background can imagine it is like fa-fa icons. You just need to import react-native-elements library and you are ready to use almost all the popular social icons in your app.
To make Social Icons using React Native Elements have a look at the following code snippet.
Social Icon (Circular)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | <SocialIcon //Social Icon using react-native-elements type="twitter" //Type of Social Icon onPress={() => { //Action to perform on press of Social Icon this._toggleBottomNavigationView(); alert('twitter'); }} /> |
Social Icon (Button)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | <SocialIcon //Social Icon using react-native-elements button //To make a button type Social Icon title="Sign In facebook" //Title of Social Button type="facebook" //Type of Social Icon onPress={() => { //Action to perform on press of Social Icon alert('facebook'); }} /> |
Here is the list of Social Icons which can be by made easily by changing the type prop in SocialIcon component.
| angellist | envelope | codepen | envelope | etsy | |
| foursquare | github-alt | github | gitlab | ||
| medium | quora | reddit-alien | soundcloud | stack-overflow | |
| steam | stumbleupon | tumblr | twitch | google-plus-official | |
| vimeo | wordpress | youtube |
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
To use ScialIcons we have to install react-native-elements and react-native-vector-icons dependencies.
For installation open the terminal and jump into your project using.
1 | cd ProjectName |
Run the following command.
1 | npm install react-native-elements --save |
1 | npm install react-native-vector-icons --save |
This command will copy all the dependencies into your node_module directory. –save is optional, it is just to update the dependencies in your package.json file.
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 the Replace the code with the following code.
App.js
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290 291 292 293 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316 317 318 319 320 321 322 323 324 325 326 327 328 329 330 331 332 333 334 335 336 337 338 339 340 341 342 343 344 345 346 347 348 349 350 351 352 353 354 355 356 357 358 359 360 361 362 363 364 365 366 367 368 369 370 371 372 373 374 375 376 377 378 379 380 381 382 383 384 385 386 387 388 389 390 391 392 393 394 395 396 397 398 399 400 401 402 403 404 405 406 407 408 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 416 417 418 419 420 421 422 423 424 425 426 427 428 429 430 431 432 433 434 435 436 437 438 439 440 441 442 443 444 445 446 447 448 449 450 451 452 453 454 455 456 457 458 459 460 461 462 463 464 465 466 467 468 469 470 471 472 473 474 475 476 477 478 479 480 481 482 483 484 485 486 487 488 489 490 491 492 493 494 495 496 497 498 499 500 501 502 503 504 505 506 507 508 509 510 511 512 513 514 515 516 517 518 519 520 521 522 523 524 525 526 527 528 529 530 531 532 533 534 535 536 537 538 539 540 541 542 543 544 545 546 547 548 549 550 551 552 553 554 555 556 557 558 559 560 561 562 563 564 565 566 567 568 569 570 571 572 573 574 575 576 577 578 579 580 581 582 583 584 585 586 587 588 589 590 591 592 593 594 595 596 597 598 599 600 601 602 603 604 605 606 607 608 609 610 611 612 613 614 | /*Example of Social Icon*/ import React, { Component } from 'react';
