Motivation
Max Stoiber wrote an interesting article some time ago about why margin is considered harmful. There are three main disadvantages of using margin:
- margin breaks component encapsulation
- margin makes reusability harder
- margin conflicts with how designers think
It's obvious that handling margins across the entire project is simply difficult and may not be scalable. For web projects, a design system called Braid has developer-friendly API for building layouts. However, a similar library was missing for React Native based projects. Therefore, Stacks has been created and it adopts Braid Layouts API with subtle differences.
Compatibility
Stacks is written in ReScript. It's compiled using BuckleScript to plain JavaScript and has typings for TypeScript and Flow.
This means that out of the box Stacks is usable in any project that use the following:
- plain JavaScript
- TypeScript
- Flow
- ReScript
Stacks can be used in React Native and React Native Web projects.
Getting started
$3
``shell`
yarn add @mobily/stacks
or with npm
`shell`
npm install @mobily/stacks --save
$3
The following example shows how simple it is building screens using Stacks. For debugging purposes, you may want to turn the debug mode on (pass the debug property to the provider) or use the customizable Grid component.
| | Debug mode | Grid component |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| !screen | !screen | !screen |
`tsx
import * as React from 'react'
import { ScrollView, Text } from 'react-native'
import { Stack, Box, Columns, Column, Tiles } from '@mobily/stacks'
// import components, styles, etc.
const Profile = () => {
return (
)
}
