react-native-is-edge-to-edge

Many libraries provide options to account for the transparency of status and navigation bars. For example, the useHideAnimation hook in react-native-bootsplash includes statusBarTranslucent and navigationBarTranslucent options, while the useAnimatedKeyboard hook in react-native-reanimated offers an isStatusBarTranslucentAndroid option, among others.

[!IMPORTANT]
Until third-party libraries officially add support for react-native-edge-to-edge to set these options automatically, you may need to adjust them manually to prevent interference with the library.

To support library authors, we provide this lightweight package called react-native-is-edge-to-edge (note the -is-!), which checks whether react-native-edge-to-edge is installed, making it easier to update your library accordingly:

import {
  controlEdgeToEdgeValues,
  isEdgeToEdge,
} from "react-native-is-edge-to-edge";

const EDGE_TO_EDGE = isEdgeToEdge();

function MyAwesomeLibraryComponent({
  statusBarTranslucent,
  navigationBarTranslucent,
}) {
  if (__DEV__) {
    // warn the user once about unnecessary defined values
    controlEdgeToEdgeValues({
      statusBarTranslucent,
      navigationBarTranslucent,
    });
  }

  return (
    <MyAwesomeLibraryNativeComponent
      statusBarTranslucent={EDGE_TO_EDGE || statusBarTranslucent}
      navigationBarTranslucent={EDGE_TO_EDGE || navigationBarTranslucent}
      // …
    />
  );
}

If you want to check for the library's presence on the native side to bypass certain parts of your code, consider using this small utility:

object EdgeToEdge {
  // we cannot detect edge-to-edge, but we can detect react-native-edge-to-edge install
  val ENABLED: Boolean = try {
      Class.forName("com.zoontek.rnedgetoedge.EdgeToEdgePackage")
      true
    } catch (exception: ClassNotFoundException) {
      false
    }
}
