How to Dynamically Apply props to Styles in React Native Components

When developing applications with React Native, the ability to apply dynamic styles based on component props is essential for creating responsive and aesthetically pleasing user interfaces. In this guide, we will tackle a common problem faced by developers: How can we properly use values from props in our component styles?

The Problem

Imagine you’re working on a custom Square component in React Native that you would like to receive size and color as props. Here’s a simple structure of how your component looks:

When implementing this component, you might use it like this:

However, you find that the size and color props are not being applied as expected when you run your app. This is a frequent challenge, particularly for newcomers to React Native.

The Solution

To dynamically apply styles based on the values received from props, you should know that the styles defined in the StyleSheet are static, meaning you cannot directly use props within them. Instead, you can create inline styles that reference these props directly. Here's how you can fix the code:

Step 1: Update Your Component

Instead of relying on the static styles object for the size and color, modify how you apply the styles within your Square component as follows:

Step 2: Understanding Style Arrays

In the updated code, we use an array for the style attribute, which allows us to combine predefined styles and inline styles. The order here matters: styles defined later will override those defined earlier. Therefore, if you need to include any styles defined in styles.sqr, they will still apply alongside your dynamic props.

Step 3: Enhancing Flexibility

You can further enhance this component to accept additional styles, or even toggle specific styles conditionally based on props. Here’s an example of how you might do that:

In this scenario:

You can pass otherStyles from a parent component to add more customization.

The active prop allows for conditional styling, enabling you to change the component's appearance based on its state.

Conclusion

By leveraging dynamic styles in your React Native components, you can create highly customizable UI elements that react to user input and props seamlessly. This flexibility enhances the user experience and makes your applications more interactive. Now you can confidently style your components using props!
