Utility for building design system in react-native. Idea from TailwindCSS
Overview
React Native Design Utility is an innovative approach to styling in React Native that simplifies the design process by offering a utility-first design system similar to Tailwind CSS. This library addresses common challenges faced by developers, particularly the hassle of managing styles and constants across multiple components. With its user-friendly interface and efficient performance, it provides a cohesive styling experience while allowing for easy customization and the application of design principles.
Having noticed the difficulties of importing numerous constants and creating a maintainable codebase, this library allows for seamless integration of design elements directly in the components. By enabling the use of props for styling, it enhances consistency across an app and minimizes the clutter usually associated with traditional styling methods.
Features
- Inline Style Management: Allows you to style components directly using props without the need for extensive import files, streamlining the development process.
- Customizable Theme: Easily initialize and customize the theme with basic styles and colors, enabling adherence to design specifications from tools like Sketch or Photoshop.
- Context API Integration: Utilizes the Context API for theme management, reducing the need for multiple imported files and simplifying prop handling.
- Dynamic Utility Classes: Pass utility classes like margin and padding as props, ensuring consistency throughout your app without manual adjustments.
- Flexible Custom Styles: Allows the addition of custom styles in case default options don’t fit your needs, enhancing design flexibility.
- Performance Optimized: The library is designed to pass props directly to StyleSheet, maintaining performance while keeping the styling process efficient.
- Fallback Props: Ensures all props have a default value, providing reliability in style application even if specific values are not defined.
