A simple react native library to show large blocks of text in a condensed manner with the ability to collapse and expand.
fawaz_ahmed@live.com
React native library to show text in a condensed way and expand when needed. Can be used with native or expo on all platforms. Supports TS/JS both. It's a pure JS solution and does not requires any native dependencies.
npm i @fawazahmed/react-native-read-more --save
or with yarn
yarn add @fawazahmed/react-native-read-more
import React from 'react';
import {SafeAreaView, StyleSheet, View} from 'react-native';
import ReadMore from '@fawazahmed/react-native-read-more';
const Home = () => {
return (
<SafeAreaView style={styles.safe}>
<View style={styles.root}>
<ReadMore numberOfLines={3} style={styles.textStyle}>
{
"Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum."

};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
safe: {
flex: 1,
},
root: {
flex: 1,
padding: 16,
},
textStyle: {
fontSize: 14,
},
});
export default Home;
Prop | Type | Required | Note |
---|---|---|---|
style | object or array | no | text style |
seeMoreText | string | no | defaults to See more |
seeMoreStyle | object or array | no | text style for See more text |
seeLessText | string | no | defaults to See less |
seeLessStyle | object or array | no | text style for See less text |
ellipsis | string | no | defaults to ... |
wrapperStyle | object or array | no | style for wrapper View |
numberOfLines | number | no | defaults to 3 |
animate | bool | no | defaults to true => applies a subtle animation to see more and see less text, not the complete text itself |
customTextComponent | React component | no | defaults to Text |
expandOnly | bool | no | defaults to false => hide see less option similar to a linkedIn post |
onExpand | func | no | optional callback executed when expanded |
onCollapse | func | no | optional callback executed when collapsed |
onReady | func | no | optional callback executed when see more placement measurements are completed, this function will pass 2 arguments ({ canExpand, expandedLinesCount }) , where canExpand is a boolean specifying if text can be expanded and expandedLinesCount is a number indicating the number of lines when text is in expanded state. |
collapsed | bool | no | Control collapsed state programatically see issue |
debug | bool | no | print debug logs to examine |
seeMoreContainerStyleSecondary | object | no | Incase of text overlap, pass { position: 'relative' } see issue (not recommended) |
onSeeMore | func | no | when a function is passed, will disable the default See More toggling and use the custom callback instead. Useful to do things like open a modal instead of expanding text when See More is pressed. |
onSeeLess | func | no | when a function is passed, will disable the default See Less toggling and use the custom callback instead. Useful to do things like open a modal instead of collapsing text when See Less is pressed. |
Any additional props are passed down to underlying Text
component.
HTML rendering is not part of this package, but can be done easily with the help of any custom html to text library. For sample code, refer to this issue
git clone https://github.com/fawaz-ahmed/react-native-read-more.git
cd react-native-read-more/example
yarn install # or npm install
# to run on iOS
yarn ios
#to run on android
yarn android
This module will calculate where to position See more
and See less
within the same paragraph instead of occupying another line. It is a drop-in replacement for Text
component and you can control when to apply the see more functionality by configuring the numberOfLines
prop. Moreover, you can also pass your own custom implementation of Text
component like ParsedText
(sample code) etc.
Make sure to add jest.useFakeTimers();
to your test file.

if numberOfLines
with a value of 1
is passed down as a prop, text in android devices will overlap at the end of line. This is an issue in react-native
where text from other lines concatenates into the first one even if we add \n
to the first line, where the lines returned from onTextLayout
indicates a different response.
To overcome this issue, use numberOfLines
greater than 1
.
