React Native Plain Text

    Installation

    npm
    yarn
    pnpm
    bun
    deno
    npm install react-native-plain-text

    This is a native module, so you need to rebuild the app.

    Requires React Native's New Architecture (Fabric).

    Usage

    import { PlainText } from 'react-native-plain-text';

<PlainText style={{ fontSize: 16 }}>Hello there 👋</PlainText>;

    Unified Text component

    For an easy adoption path that doesn't require touching existing <Text> call sites, import Text instead of PlainText:

    import { Text } from 'react-native-plain-text';

<Text style={{ fontSize: 16 }}>Hello there 👋</Text>;

    It's a selector component: PlainText for simple strings, falling back to RN <Text> for anything PlainText doesn't support (nested text, element children). See the Text component guide for how it decides and how to build the same pattern into your own centralized Text component.

    Using PlainText directly still gives you the best performance.
