🎨React Native Gradients

A React Native alternative to Linear and Radial gradients, using SVG!

⚙️Installation

Note: This library supports only React Native 0.60+ versions

Install react-native-gradients using your package manager

• npm

npm install --save react-native-gradients react-native-svg

• yarn

yarn add react-native-gradients react-native-svg

iOS installation

As it uses React Native SVG, you need to install the pod dependencies using following command

cd ios
pod install

✌️Usage

Linear Gradient

const colorList = [
  {offset: '0%', color: '#231557', opacity: '1'},
  {offset: '29%', color: '#44107A', opacity: '1'},
  {offset: '67%', color: '#FF1361', opacity: '1'},
  {offset: '100%', color: '#FFF800', opacity: '1'}
]

<LinearGradient colorList={colorList} angle={90}/>

Radial Gradient

const colorList = [
  {offset: '0%', color: '#231557', opacity: '1'},
  {offset: '29%', color: '#44107A', opacity: '1'},
  {offset: '67%', color: '#FF1361', opacity: '1'},
  {offset: '100%', color: '#FFF800', opacity: '1'}
]

<RadialGradient x="50%" y="50%" rx="50%" ry="50%" colorList={colorList}/>

With Content

This library uses <svg /> components. An option for other formats of "images" is using the React Native component <ImageBackground /> but for svgs that is not possible (at least for now).

A good option is wrap your Gradient component into a <View /> component and make that component has position: absolute style such as

import { RadialGradient } from 'react-native-gradients';

const BackgroundGradient = ({ style, children }) => (
  <View style={[styles.gradientBg, style]}>
    <RadialGradient />
  </View>
);

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  gradientBg: {
    position: absolute,
    width: "100%",
    height: "100%",
  },
});

For every case a specific solution could be used and this could work as a base to your case.
