Wrapping text around an image with React-Native
This is really hard but there is one weird way to do this.. Try the following. It worked for me but place I am doing this is too deep in the other views.:
<Text>
<View style={{width:400, height:100, flex:1, flexDirection:'row'}}>
<Image source={require('')}/>
<Text>Your Content Here</Text>
</View>
</Text>
Good luck. Please put a comment letting us know if it worked.
React Native: Vertically and Horizontally align image and text in same row
You can check here live dmeo here expo-snack:
Also the code is pretty ismple :
import * as React from 'react';
import { Text, View, StyleSheet,Image } from 'react-native';
export default class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text>Hey</Text>
<Image source={{uri:'https://source.unsplash.com/random'}} style={{height:50,width:50}}/>
</View>
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'space-between',
backgroundColor: '#ecf0f1',
padding: 8,
flexDirection:'row',
alignItems:'center'
}
});
hope it helps. feel free for doubts , and if you want the text and image to be not so distant you can have justifyContent: 'center',
How can you float: right in React Native?
why does the Text take up the full space of the View, instead of just the space for "Hello"?
Because the View
is a flex container and by default has flexDirection: 'column'
and alignItems: 'stretch'
, which means that its children should be stretched out to fill its width.
(Note, per the docs, that all components in React Native are display: 'flex'
by default and that display: 'inline'
does not exist at all. In this way, the default behaviour of a Text
within a View
in React Native differs from the default behaviour of span
within a div
on the web; in the latter case, the span would not fill the width of the div
because a span
is an inline element by default. There is no such concept in React Native.)
How can the Text be floated / aligned to the right?
The float
property doesn't exist in React Native, but there are loads of options available to you (with slightly different behaviours) that will let you right-align your text. Here are the ones I can think of:
1. Use textAlign: 'right'
on the Text
element
<View>
<Text style={{textAlign: 'right'}}>Hello, World!</Text>
</View>
(This approach doesn't change the fact that the Text
fills the entire width of the View
; it just right-aligns the text within the Text
.)
2. Use alignSelf: 'flex-end'
on the Text
<View>
<Text style={{alignSelf: 'flex-end'}}>Hello, World!</Text>
</View>
This shrinks the Text
element to the size required to hold its content and puts it at the end of the cross direction (the horizontal direction, by default) of the View
.
3. Use alignItems: 'flex-end'
on the View
<View style={{alignItems: 'flex-end'}}>
<Text>Hello, World!</Text>
</View>
This is equivalent to setting alignSelf: 'flex-end'
on all the View
's children.
4. Use flexDirection: 'row'
and justifyContent: 'flex-end'
on the View
<View style={{flexDirection: 'row', justifyContent: 'flex-end'}}>
<Text>Hello, World!</Text>
</View>
flexDirection: 'row'
sets the main direction of layout to be horizontal instead of vertical; justifyContent
is just like alignItems
, but controls alignment in the main direction instead of the cross direction.
5. Use flexDirection: 'row'
on the View
and marginLeft: 'auto'
on the Text
<View style={{flexDirection: 'row'}}>
<Text style={{marginLeft: 'auto'}}>Hello, World!</Text>
</View>
This approach is demonstrated, in the context of the web and real CSS, at https://stackoverflow.com/a/34063808/1709587.
6. Use position: 'absolute'
and right: 0
on the Text
:
<View>
<Text style={{position: 'absolute', right: 0}}>Hello, World!</Text>
</View>
Like in real CSS, this takes the Text
"out of flow", meaning that its siblings will be able to overlap it and its vertical position will be at the top of the View
by default (although you can explicitly set a distance from the top of the View
using the top
style property).
Naturally, which of these various approaches you want to use - and whether the choice between them even matters at all - will depend upon your precise circumstances.
