Changing Font Size of All Text Components in React Native

Managing the appearance of your application is crucial for maintaining a cohesive user experience. When it comes to text styling in React Native, you might find yourself facing a common question: How can I change the font size of all Text components throughout my app?

This guide will walk you through creating a simple solution that allows you to dynamically adjust the font size without having to modify each Text component individually.

The Challenge

As your React Native app grows with multiple components, changing styles can quickly become tedious. While it’s easy to change the font size of an individual component, what if you want that change to apply globally? A typical scenario includes a button that allows users to toggle between different font sizes, providing better accessibility and personalization.

The Solution: Create a Custom Text Component

To achieve this, we will create a custom component called CText. This component will handle the font size and allow you to modify it globally. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to implement this solution.

Step 1: Create Your Custom Component

Make a new file for your custom component, for instance, CText.js.

Inside this file, you will define the CText component as follows:

Step 2: Replace All Text Components with CText

Once your custom component is ready:

Go through your app and replace every instance of <Text> with <CText>.

Don’t forget to import CText at the top of your file where you use it.

Step 3: Manage the Font Size

Now you can manage the font size from a central location in your app. Here is how to do it conveniently:

Use React state or context to store the desired fontSize.

On the button click, update the font size which will automatically reflect on all CText components since they will receive the updated fontSize prop.

Example Usage

To illustrate, here is how you can use the CText component in your app:

Conclusion

By creating a custom CText component, you can easily control the font size across your entire React Native application. This approach not only saves you time but also ensures a consistent and scalable way to manage text styles.

Now you can allow users to enjoy your app with their preferred text sizes, elevating their overall experience. Happy coding!
