Expo UI Image displays SF Symbols using the SwiftUI Image API. SF Symbols are a library of configurable symbols provided by Apple.
Installation
- npx expo install @expo/uiIf you are installing this in an existing React Native app, make sure to install expo in your project.
Usage
Basic SF Symbol
import { Host, Image } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui'; export default function BasicImageExample() { return ( <Host matchContents> <Image systemName="star.fill" /> </Host> ); }
With size and color
import { Host, HStack, Image } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui'; export default function ImageSizeColorExample() { return ( <Host matchContents> <HStack spacing={16}> <Image systemName="heart.fill" size={24} color="red" /> <Image systemName="star.fill" size={32} color="orange" /> <Image systemName="bell.fill" size={40} color="blue" /> </HStack> </Host> ); }
With variable value
Some SF Symbols alter their appearance based on a variable value. Use the variableValue prop with a value between 0.0 and 1.0 to control the rendered symbol. Requires iOS 16.0+ and SF Symbols 4.0+.
import { Host, HStack, Image } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui'; export default function ImageVariableExample() { return ( <Host matchContents> <HStack spacing={16}> <Image systemName="chart.bar.fill" size={32} variableValue={0.3} /> <Image systemName="chart.bar.fill" size={32} variableValue={0.6} /> <Image systemName="chart.bar.fill" size={32} variableValue={1.0} /> </HStack> </Host> ); }
