React Native WebView component for iOS, Android, and Windows 10 (coming soon)
The react-native-webview package is a powerful tool for embedding web content into a React Native application. It allows developers to render web pages, handle navigation, and interact with web content using JavaScript. This package is highly customizable and supports various features such as injecting JavaScript, handling navigation events, and more.
Basic WebView
This feature allows you to embed a basic web page within your React Native application. The WebView component takes a source prop that specifies the URL of the web page to be loaded.
import React from 'react';
import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview';
const MyWebView = () => (
<WebView
source={{ uri: 'https://www.example.com' }}
style={{ marginTop: 20 }}
/>
);
export default MyWebView;
Injecting JavaScript
This feature allows you to inject JavaScript into the web page being loaded. The injectedJavaScript prop takes a string of JavaScript code that will be executed once the page has loaded.
import React from 'react';
import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview';
const MyWebView = () => (
<WebView
source={{ uri: 'https://www.example.com' }}
injectedJavaScript={"document.body.style.backgroundColor = 'red';"}
style={{ marginTop: 20 }}
/>
);
export default MyWebView;
Handling Navigation Events
This feature allows you to handle navigation events within the WebView. The onNavigationStateChange prop takes a function that will be called whenever the navigation state changes, providing details about the navigation event.
import React from 'react';
import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview';
const MyWebView = () => (
<WebView
source={{ uri: 'https://www.example.com' }}
onNavigationStateChange={(navState) => {
console.log('Navigation state changed:', navState);
}}
style={{ marginTop: 20 }}
/>
);
export default MyWebView;
The react-native-inappbrowser-reborn package allows you to open web content in an in-app browser. It provides a more native feel compared to a WebView and supports features like custom animations and toolbar customization. However, it is not as flexible as react-native-webview for embedding web content directly within your application.
React Native WebView is a modern, well-supported, and cross-platform WebView for React Native. It is intended to be a replacement for the built-in WebView (which will be removed from core).
We just swapped out the React Native WebView in our app with the version from React Native Community. The swap took less than a day, required almost no code modifications, and is faster and CSS works better. Props to everyone in the community (including those at Infinite Red) that helped get that component split out.

Note: React Native WebView is not currently supported by Expo unless you "eject".
If you need the exact same WebView as the one from react-native, please use version 2.0.0. Future versions will follow semantic versioning.
$ yarn add react-native-webview
$ react-native link react-native-webview
Read our Getting Started Guide for more.
Import the WebView
component from react-native-webview
and use it like so:
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from "react-native";
import { WebView } from "react-native-webview";
// ...
class MyWebComponent extends Component {
render() {
return (
<WebView
source={{ uri: "https://infinite.red/react-native" }}
style={{ marginTop: 20 }}
onLoadProgress={e => console.log(e.nativeEvent.progress)}
/>
);
}
}

Simply install React Native WebView and then use it in place of the core WebView. Their APIs are currently identical, except that this package defaults useWebKit={true}
unlike the built-in WebView.
Invariant Violation: Native component for "RNCWKWebView does not exist"
it likely means you forgot to run react-native link
or there was some error with the linking processuseWebKit={false}
to use UIWebViewyarn test:ios:flow
for iOSyarn test:android:flow
for Android.flowconfig
for it. If your platform is example
, copy the main flowconfig and rename it to .flowconfig.example
. Then edit the config to ignore other platforms, and add .*/*[.]example.js
to the ignore lists of the other platforms. Then add an entry to package.json
like this:
"test:example:flow": "flow check --flowconfig-name .flowconfig.example"
flow check
will not pass against 0.56.Thanks goes to these wonderful people (emoji key):
