React Native HTMLView

A component which takes HTML content and renders it as native views, with customisable style and handling of links, etc.

An ugly Fork

This if forked from another fork - this is for the sole purpose of not having react-native as a module-dependency, which is ugly.

usage

props:

• value: a string of HTML content to render
• onLinkPress: a function which will be called with a url when a link is pressed. Passing this prop will override how links are handled (defaults to calling LinkingIOS.openURL(url))
• stylesheet: a stylesheet object keyed by tag name, which will override the styles applied to those respective tags.
• renderNode: a custom function to render HTML nodes however you see fit. If the function returns undefined (not null), the default renderer will be used for that node.

Note: see the troubleshooting section below if you're having problems with links not working.

example

atm stylesheet={styles} is not a joke -> PR is welcome

var React = require('react-native')
var {Text, View, ListView} = React

var HTMLView = require('react-native-htmlview')

var ContentView = React.createClass({
  render() {
    return (
      var htmlContent = '<p><a href="">&hearts; nice job!</a></p>'
      <HTMLView
        value={htmlContent}
        onLinkPress={(url) => console.log('navigating to: ', url)}
        stylesheet={styles}
      />
    )
  }
})

var styles = StyleSheet.create({
  a: {
    fontWeight: '300',
    color: '#FF3366', // pink links
  },
})

troubleshooting

If you're getting the error "undefined is not an object (evaluating 'RCTLinkingManager.openURL’)” from the LinkingIOS API, try adding ‘RCTLinking' to the project's 'Linked Frameworks and Libraries’. You might have to find RCTLinking.xcodeproj in the react-native package dir and drag that into your main Xcode project first.
