Your next React Native app will still be done with Paper (2.0)
react-native-paper
Hooray! While react-native-paper has just reached 2000 ⭐️ on Github, we were announcing it at React Native EU 2018 as a major update for Paper that is aligned with the new Material Design guide. This is react-native-paper 2.0. Don’t want to read? No problem, I got a lighting talk that gets you covered:
Key concepts of Paper 2.0
Material design guidelines
New style and new components are awaiting for you, ready to be used on Android and iOS.
Platform adaptation
As you saw in version 1, we continue to provide platform adaption so your iOS users keep feeling comfortable.
Full theming support
We extracted the theming logic into https://github.com/callstack/react-theme-provider. You can easily switch from light to dark theme or give to your users any choice they want!
Portal
Render dialogs, floating action buttons, snackbars… One thing above the other. Thanks to Portal you can easily manage it.
Accessibility and RTL
We’ve been working very hard for this version to be much better regarding accessibility. We want each and every of our components to be fully accessible and RTL compatible.
Developer experience
Not only our example is Expo compatible but now you can also check any component in our docs and look for this link:
And you can just try it! Oh and we are also working in bindings for ReasonML!
