Usage

You should refer to the react-native-webview docs for more information on the API and its usage. But the following example (courtesy of that repo) is a quick way to get up and running!

Basic Webview usage

import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview';
import Constants from 'expo-constants';
import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <WebView
      style={styles.container}
      source={{ uri: 'https://expo.dev' }}
    />
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    marginTop: Constants.statusBarHeight,
  },
});

Minimal example with inline HTML:

Webview inline HTML

import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview';
import Constants from 'expo-constants';
import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <WebView
      style={styles.container}
      originWhitelist={['*']}
      source={{ html: '<h1><center>Hello world</center></h1>' }}
    />
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    marginTop: Constants.statusBarHeight,
  },
});
