Installation

Terminal
npx expo install @expo/ui

If you are installing this in an existing React Native app, make sure to install expo in your project.

Usage

Basic SF Symbol

BasicImageExample.tsx
import { Host, Image } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui'; export default function BasicImageExample() { return ( <Host matchContents> <Image systemName="star.fill" /> </Host> ); }

With size and color

ImageSizeColorExample.tsx
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+.

ImageVariableExample.tsx
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> ); }
