rn-extended-stylesheet

An extended StyleSheet for React Native that supports Media Queries, caching and lazy overrides

#Installation

npm install rn-extended-stylesheet

Usage

ExtendedStyleSheet allows you to specify a set of styles with inline Media Queries. rn-extended-stylesheet will return a function for you to call during the render cycle that will evaluate the current dimensions of the window using Dimensions.get('window'). The library will cache the base styles that aren't dependent on the size, so you are not constantly re-creating the bridged StyleSheet (as mentioned in the React native docs) here.

import ExtendedStyleSheet from 'rn-extended-stylesheet';

const getSheet = ExtendedStyleSheet.create({
    button: {
        color: "red",
        "@media (min-width:200) and (max-width:500)": {
            color: 'red'
        },
        "@media (min-width: 200)": {
            color: 'yellow'
        },
        "@media (max-width:400)": {
            color: 'blue'
        }
    }          
});

class Button extends Component {
    render() {
        const styles = getSheet();
        return <Button style={styles.button}></Button>
    }
}

Advanced Usage

The returned function from create allows you to pass an override object to pass styling keys that you might not know at creation time (like overrides from props). These overrides are added as the last item to the style set, so they take precedence.

import ExtendedStyleSheet from 'rn-extended-stylesheet';

const getSheet = ExtendedStyleSheet.create({
    button: {
        color: "red",
        "@media (min-width:200) and (max-width:500)": {
            color: 'red'
        },
        "@media (min-width: 200)": {
            color: 'yellow'
        },
        "@media (max-width:400)": {
            color: 'blue'
        }
    }          
});

class Button extends Component {
    render() {
        const {buttonStyle} = this.props; // get button overrides from props
        const styles = getSheet({button:buttonStyle}); // mix into the stylesheet
        
        return <Button style={styles.button}></Button>
    }
}
