React Templates for Native Apps

In order to use React Templates for React Native you should set the native option to true. In native mode the default modules option is set to commonjs and the default react-import-path is set to react-native.

Default properties templates configuration

In native mode we define a default properties template configuration in order to easily write native templates.

 {
     ListView: {
         Row: {prop: 'renderRow', arguments: ['rowData', 'sectionID', 'rowID', 'highlightRow']},
         Footer: {prop: 'renderFooter', arguments: []},
         Header: {prop: 'renderHeader', arguments: []},
         ScrollComponent: {prop: 'renderScrollComponent', arguments: ['props']},
         SectionHeader: {prop: 'renderSectionHeader', arguments: ['sectionData', 'sectionID']},
         Separator: {prop: 'renderSeparator', arguments: ['sectionID', 'rowID', 'adjacentRowHighlighted']}
     }
 }

With this configuration you can write your ListView component as follow:

With default arguments:

<View>
    <ListView dataSource="{this.state.dataSource}">
        <Row>
            <Text>{rowData}</Text>
        </Row>
    </ListView>
</View>

Compiled:

'use strict';
var React = require('react-native');
var _ = require('lodash');
function renderRow1(rowData) {
    return React.createElement(React.Text, {}, rowData);
}
module.exports = function () {
    return React.createElement(React.View, {}, React.createElement(React.ListView, {
        'dataSource': this.state.dataSource,
        'renderRow': renderRow1.bind(this)
    }));
};

With custom arguments:

<View>
    <ListView dataSource="{this.state.dataSource}">
        <Row arguments="item">
            <Text>{item}</Text>
        </Row>
    </ListView>
</View>

Compiled:

'use strict';
var React = require('react-native');
var _ = require('lodash');
function renderRow1(item) {
    return React.createElement(React.Text, {}, item);
}
module.exports = function () {
    return React.createElement(React.View, {}, React.createElement(React.ListView, {
        'dataSource': this.state.dataSource,
        'renderRow': renderRow1.bind(this)
    }));
};

Native style support

This feature is Experimental and is subject to change.

You can use rt to compile a style file similar to css:

.text {
    background-color: #00346E;
    padding: 3px;
}

.fonts {
    background-color: #000099;
    height: 30px;
}

will result in:

'use strict';
var style = {
  "text": {
    "backgroundColor": "#00346E",
    "padding": 3
  },
  "fonts": {
    "backgroundColor": "#000099",
    "height": 30
  }
};
module.exports = style;

Which later you can import in your react native component:

var styles = StyleSheet.create(require('./style.rts'))
