Primitive React Interfaces Across Targets

npm install --save react-primitives

You will also need to install the targets you want to support:

• web:

  npm install --save react-dom react-native-web react-art

• native iOS and Android:

  npm install --save react-native

• sketch:

  npm install --save react-sketchapp react-test-renderer

• figma:

  npm install --save react-figma

• vr:

  npm install --save react-360

• Windows:

  npm install --save react-native-windows

import React from "react";
import { View, Text, Image, StyleSheet } from "react-primitives";

class Foo extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <View style={styles.foo}>{this.props.children}</View>;
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  foo: {
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    backgroundColor: "#ff00ff"
  }
});

This library attempts to propose an ideal set of primitives around building React applications, regardless of Platform. In the future, this could be used as a shared interface among React and React Native components that don't use platform-specific APIs.

Importantly, this includes StyleSheet for declaring styles, as well as Animated for doing declarative Animations.

The exported APIs thus far are:

1. Animated: Pulled from the animated project.
2. StyleSheet: Follows React Native's StyleSheet API.
3. View: A base component for Layout.
4. Text: A base component for Text rendering.
5. Image: A base component for Image rendering.
6. Touchable: A base component for interaction.
7. Easing: A base set of easing functions.
8. Dimensions: Get the devices dimensions.
9. PixelRatio: Get the devices pixel density.
10. Platform: Get information about the platform. (iOS, Android, Web, Sketch, VR,...)

In the future, a TextInput component may also be added.

This library was largely inspired from the work done by Nicolas Gallager and his great work on the react-native-web library. A few of the files in this repo are even copied directly from his project.
