React Native Text - A Basic React native Component

React Native Text is a React component for displaying text. Text supports nesting, styling, and touch handling. This component can be nested and it can inherit properties from parent to child. This can be useful in many ways.

To Import Text in the Code

import { Text } from 'react-native'

1	import { Text } from 'react-native'

Render Using

<Text>You Text Here</Text>

1	<Text>You Text Here</Text>

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-cli

Run the following commands to create a new React Native project

react-native init ProjectName

This will make a project structure with an index file named App.js in your project directory.

Open App.js in any code editor and the Replace the code with the following code.

App.Js

//This is an example code to understand Text// 

import React from 'react';
//import react in our code. 

import { Text, View } from 'react-native';
//import all the components we are going to use. 

export default class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      // enclose all components in this View tag
      <View>
        {/* View is used here to wrap all component in one */}
        <Text>All the very best</Text> 
        {/* Text is used same as a tag in HTML */} 
        <Text>This is your first App.</Text>
        <Text>Enjoy react native coding.</Text>
      </View>
    );  
  } 
}

//This is an example code to understand Text//

import React from 'react';

//import react in our code.

import { Text, View } from 'react-native';

//import all the components we are going to use.

export default class App extends React.Component {

render() {

return (

// enclose all components in this View tag

<View>

{/* View is used here to wrap all component in one */}

{/* Text is used same as a tag in HTML */}

<Text>This is your first App.</Text>

<Text>Enjoy react native coding.</Text>

</View>

);

}

To Run the React Native App

Open the terminal again and jump into your project using.

cd ProjectName

To run the project on an Android Virtual Device or on real debugging device

react-native run-android

or on the iOS Simulator by running

react-native run-ios (macOS only).

That was the React Native Text. If you have any doubt or you want to share something about the topic you can comment below or contact us here. The remaining components will be covered in the next article. Stay tuned!

Hope you liked it. 🙂
