This library allows you to parse a text and extract parts using a RegExp or predefined patterns.
Currently there are 3 predefined types: url, phone and email.
All the props are passed down to a new Text Component if there is a matching text. If those are functions they will receive as param the value of the text.
ParsedText can receive Text PropTypes.
parse: Array of parsed text.
- to use the predefined type:
{type: 'url'}. - to use your own
RegExp:{pattern: /something/}.
renderText: Function called to change the displayed children.
childrenProps : Properties to pass to the children elements generated by react-native-parsed-text.
eg:
Your str is 'Mention [@michel:5455345]' where 5455345 is ID of this user and @michel the value to display on interface.
Your pattern for ID & username extraction : /\[(@[^:]+):([^\]]+)\]/i
Your renderText method :
renderText(matchingString, matches) {
// matches => ["[@michel:5455345]", "@michel", "5455345"]
let pattern = /\[(@[^:]+):([^\]]+)\]/i;
let match = matchingString.match(pattern);
return `^^${match[1]}^^`;
}
Displayed text will be : Mention ^^@michel^^
import ParsedText from 'react-native-parsed-text';
class Example extends React.Component {
static displayName = 'Example';
handleUrlPress(url, matchIndex /*: number*/) {
LinkingIOS.openURL(url);
}
handlePhonePress(phone, matchIndex /*: number*/) {
AlertIOS.alert(`${phone} has been pressed!`);
}
handleNamePress(name, matchIndex /*: number*/) {
AlertIOS.alert(`Hello ${name}`);
}
handleEmailPress(email, matchIndex /*: number*/) {
AlertIOS.alert(`send email to ${email}`);
}
renderText(matchingString, matches) {
// matches => ["[@michel:5455345]", "@michel", "5455345"]
let pattern = /\[(@[^:]+):([^\]]+)\]/i;
let match = matchingString.match(pattern);
return `^^${match[1]}^^`;
}
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>

Hello this is an example of the ParsedText, links like http://www.google.com or http://www.facebook.com are clickable and phone number 444-555-6666 can call too.
But you can also do more with this package, for example Bob will change style and David too. [email protected]
And the magic number is 42!
