Expo static-safearea-insets

you can always use SafeAreaView from react-native or react-native-safearea-context, prefer react-native-safearea-context because it works with both android & ios.

to avoid some flickering I created this package inspired by react-native-static-safe-area-insets

it allows you to use safearea whereever you want, without having to use SafeAreaView or useSafeAreaInsets

Example

import { StyleSheet } from "react-native"
import { insets } from "expo-static-safearea-insets"

function App() {
  return <View style={styles.safeAreView}></View>
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  safeAreView: {
    marginTop: insets.top,
    marginBottom: insets.bottom,
    marginLeft: insets.left,
    marginRight: insets.right,

    // or

    paddingTop: insets.top,
    paddingBottom: insets.bottom,
    paddingLeft: insets.left,
    paddingRight: insets.right,

    //  you are also able to get the statusbarHeight & navgiationBarHeight ( 0.2.0 )
    marginTop: insets.statusBarHeight,
    marginBottom: navigationBarHeight,
  },
})

Installation

npm install expo-static-safearea-insets

or

yarn add expo-static-safearea-insets

recompile and run your app.

Note

you only are able to install this package if you are using expo modules

you can use it with expo bare workflow

soon it will be available in managed workflows as well.
