react-native-linear-gradient

A component for react-native, as seen in
react-native-login.

Version 2.0 supports react-native >= 0.40.0

Add it to your project

You can try linking the project automatically:

$ react-native link

or do it manually as described below:

$3

- Run npm install react-native-linear-gradient-spire --save

Then either:

#####Cocoapods
add the following line to your Podfile:

``sh
pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native'
pod 'BVLinearGradient', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-linear-gradient-spire'
`

or:

#####Manually

1. Open your project in XCode, right click on Libraries and click Add
Files to "Your Project Name" Look under node_modules/react-native-linear-gradient-spire and add BVLinearGradient.xcodeproj. (Screenshot).
2. Add libBVLinearGradient.a to Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries
(Screenshot).
3. Click on BVLinearGradient.xcodeproj in Libraries and go the Build
Settings tab. Double click the text to the right of Header Search
Paths and verify that it has $(SRCROOT)/../react-native/React - if it
isn't, then add it. This is so XCode is able to find the headers that
the BVLinearGradient source files are referring to by pointing to the
header files installed within the react-native node_modules
directory. (Screenshot).

Then:


- Whenever you want to use it within React code now you can: import LinearGradient from 'react-native-linear-gradient-spire';


If you're having trouble, you can point your package.json at github to see if the issue has been fixed. Simply change the dependency

"react-native-linear-gradient": "react-native-community/react-native-linear-gradient",

to get the data right from github instead of npm and then npm install

For instance the podspec file does not contain the right data (author attributes etc..) in npm while it does in the github repo.

#### Android

1. in android/settings.gradle
`
...
include ':react-native-linear-gradient'
project(':react-native-linear-gradient').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-linear-gradient-spire/android')
`

2. in android/app/build.gradle add:
`
dependencies {
...
compile project(':react-native-linear-gradient-spire')
}
`

3. and finally, in android/src/main/java/com/{YOUR_APP_NAME}/MainActivity.java for react-native < 0.29,
or android/src/main/java/com/{YOUR_APP_NAME}/MainApplication.java for react-native >= 0.29 add:
`java
//...
import com.BV.LinearGradient.LinearGradientPackage; // <--- This!
//...
@Override
protected List getPackages() {
return Arrays.asList(
new MainReactPackage(),
new LinearGradientPackage() // <---- and This!
);
}
`

You can also use start and end points, as well as specify the locations
for the gradient color changes with the start, end and locations
props:

`javascript
start={{x: 0.0, y: 0.25}} end={{x: 0.5, y: 1.0}}
locations={[0,0.5,0.6]}
colors={['#4c669f', '#3b5998', '#192f6a']}
style={styles.linearGradient}>
