Notes

Fonts

React Native Elements uses the System font as the default font family for iOS and Roboto as the default font family for Android.

In the example screenshots, we are using Lato which can be downloaded here.

We are working on a way to make a custom font family configurable through the command line.

Here is a list of fonts available out of the box for each platform, or you can install and use a custom font of your own.

To override the fontFamily in any element, simply provide a fontFamily prop:

<Button
  raised
  icon={{name: 'cached'}}
  title='RAISED WITH ICON'
  fontFamily='Comic Sans MS' />

API

Buttons

Buttons take a title and an optional material icon name, as well as the props below.

You can override Material icons with one of the following: zocial, font-awesome, octicon, ionicon, foundation, evilicon, or entypo by providing an icon.type as a prop.

import { Button } from 'react-native-elements'

<Button
  title='BUTTON' />

<Button
  raised
  icon={{name: 'cached'}}
  title='BUTTON WITH ICON' />

<Button
  small
  iconRight
  icon={{name: 'code'}}
  title='SMALL WITH RIGHT ICON' />

<Button
  small
  icon={{name: 'envira', type: 'font-awesome'}}
  title='SMALL WITH RIGHT ICON' />

<Button
  small
  icon={{name: 'squirrel', type: 'octicon', buttonStyle: styles.someButtonStyle }}
  title='OCTICON' />
