Render HTML in React Native
I found this component. https://github.com/jsdf/react-native-htmlview
This component takes HTML content and renders it as native views, with customisable style and handling of links, etc.
Edit Jan 2021: The React Native docs currently recommend React Native WebView:
<WebView
originWhitelist={['*']}
source={{ html: '<p>Here I am</p>' }}
/>
https://github.com/react-native-webview/react-native-webview
If you don't want to embed a WebView
, there are also third party libraries to render HTML into native views:
react-native-render-html
react-native-htmlview
Edit March 2017: the html
prop has been deprecated. Use source
instead:
<WebView source={{html: '<p>Here I am</p>'}} />
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/webview.html#html
Thanks to Justin for pointing this out.
Edit Feb 2017: the PR was accepted a while back, so to render HTML in React Native, simply:
<WebView html={'<p>Here I am</p>'} />
Original Answer:
I don't think this is currently possible. The behavior you're seeing is expected, since the Text component only outputs... well, text. You need another component that outputs HTML - and that's the WebView.
Unfortunately right now there's no way of just directly setting the HTML on this component:
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/506
However I've just created this PR which implements a basic version of this feature so hopefully it'll land in some form soonish.
A pure JavaScript react-native component that renders your HTML into 100% native views. It's made to be extremely customizable and easy to use and aims at being able to render anything you throw at it.
react-native-render-html
Using this component will improve your application memory footprint and performance when compared to embedded WebViews
.
Install
npm install react-native-render-html --save or yarn add react-native-render-html
Basic usage
import React from "react";
import { ScrollView, useWindowDimensions } from "react-native";
import RenderHTML from "react-native-render-html";
const html = `
<h1>This HTML snippet is now rendered with native components !</h1>
<h2>Enjoy a webview-free and blazing fast application</h2>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/dHLmxfO.jpg?2" />
<em style="textAlign: center;">Look at how happy this native cat is</em>
`;
export default function App() {
// Allow images to scale to available width
// with contentWidth prop.
const { width } = useWindowDimensions();
return (
<ScrollView style={{ flex: 1 }}>
<RenderHTML contentWidth={width} source={{ html }} />
</ScrollView>
);
}
RenderHTML
Props reference
You may customize the style of elements via class names, tags, and you can even register custom renders for tags. More info on the official website.
i uses Js function replace simply.
<Text>{item.excerpt.rendered.replace(/<\/?[^>]+(>|$)/g, "")}</Text>
