Check this simple app for implementation example Example app

How to use

What you need to do is import the react-native-markdown-package module and then use the
tag.

How to use?

Here we are, take a look at this simple implementation:

``javascript
/**
* Sample React Native App
* https://github.com/facebook/react-native
*
* @format
* @flow
*/

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {
StyleSheet,
ScrollView,
View,
Text,
Linking
} from 'react-native';
import {
Colors,
} from 'react-native/Libraries/NewAppScreen';
import Markdown from 'react-native-markdown-package';

const text =

This is Heading 1

This is Heading 2

1. List1
2. List2
This is a \description\ for List2 .\n
* test
* test
3. List3
4. List4.

You can also put some url as a link like This or write it as a plain text:
https://www.google.com

---

This text should be printed between horizontal rules

---

The following code is an example for codeblock:

const a = function() {
runSomeFunction()
};

Below is some example to print blockquote

> Test block Quote
> Another block Quote

this is _italic_
this is strong
Some really ~~basic~~ Markdown.

| # | Name | Age
|---|--------|-----|
| 1 | John | 19 |
| 2 | Sally | 18 |
| 3 | Stream | 20 |

this is an example for adding picture:

export default class App extends Component<{}> {
render() {
return (
contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior="automatic"
style={styles.scrollView}>


Welcome to React Native!

styles={markdownStyle.collectiveMd}
onLink={(url) => Linking.openURL(url)}
>
{ text }

styles={markdownStyle.singleLineMd}
>
this is a test single line md



);
}
}
const singleStyle = {
text: {
color: 'blue',
textAlign: "right"
},
view: {
alignSelf: 'stretch',
}
};

const markdownStyle = {
singleLineMd: {
text: {
color: 'blue',
textAlign: "right"
},
view: {
alignSelf: 'stretch',
}
},
collectiveMd: {
heading1: {
color: 'red'
},
heading2: {
color: 'green',
textAlign: "right"
},
strong: {
color: 'blue'
},
em: {
color: 'cyan'
},
text: {
color: 'black',
},
blockQuoteText: {
color: 'grey'
},
blockQuoteSection: {
flexDirection: 'row',
},
blockQuoteSectionBar: {
width: 3,
height: null,
backgroundColor: '#DDDDDD',
marginRight: 15,
},
codeBlock: {
fontFamily: 'Courier',
fontWeight: '500',
backgroundColor: '#DDDDDD',
},
tableHeader: {
backgroundColor: 'grey',
},
}
});

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
margin: 10,
padding:20
},
scrollView: {
backgroundColor: Colors.lighter,
},
welcome: {
fontSize: 20,
textAlign: 'center',
},
instructions: {
textAlign: 'center',
color: '#333333',
marginBottom: 5,
}
});

Properties

#### styles

Default style properties will be applied to the markdown. You could replace it with your preference by adding styles property like the example above.

#### onLink

This prop will accept a function. This is a callback function for any link inside markdown syntax, so you could costumize the handler for onClick event from the link.

onLinkCallback should be a function that returns a promise.


`

const onLinkCallback = (url) => {
console.log('test test test');

const isErrorResult = false;

return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
isErrorResult ? reject() : resolve();
});
};

...

styles={markdownStyle.collectiveMd}
onLink={onLinkCallback}>
{text}


...

This project was actually forked from lwansbrough , with some enhancements below :
1. Styling method.

Now you can easily add styling on each syntax, e.g. add different color either in strong, header, or another md syntax. All default styles in this package is also already moved to new file styles.js.
2. Refactoring some codes to adopt ES6 style.

Refactor index.js using ES6. :)
