A component for rendering Markdown in React Native with native components, working with both iOS & Android. Pull requests are welcome 😃 🎉!

yarn add react-native-simple-markdown

All you need is import the react-native-simple-markdown and then use the <Markdown /> component.

import React from 'react'
import Markdown from 'react-native-simple-markdown'

const MyAwesomeApp = () => {
  return (
    <Markdown styles={styles}>
      #Markdown in react-native is so cool!

      You can **emphasize** what you want, or just _suggest it_ 😏…

      You can even [link your website](http://charlesmangwa.surge.sh) or if you prefer: [email somebody](mailto:[email protected])

      Spice it up with some GIF 💃:

      And even add a cool video 😎!

    </Markdown>    
  )
}

const styles = {
  heading1: {
    fontSize: 22,
  },
  strong: {
    fontSize: 18,
  },
  paragraph: {
    fontSize: 14,
  },
  view: {
    borderWidth: 1,
  },
}

The Markdown will apply its style by default. However you can pass a styles prop to customize it has you want.

Example:

<Markdown
  styles={{
    heading1: {
      fontSize: 20,
    },
    strong: {
      fontWeight: 'bold',
    }
  }}
>
  #Hello 👋
</Markdown>

The Markdown will apply its rules by default. However you can pass a rules prop to add your own and then customize how the Markdown elements will be displayed!

Example:

<Markdown
  rules={{
    image: {
      react: (node, output, state) => (
        <CustomImageComponent
          key={state.key}
          source={{ uri: node.target }}
        />
      ),
    },
  }}
>
  ![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg)
</Markdown>

RNSM also allows you to remove easily unwanted styling options without having to pass in rule objects that have their react key implemented/dummied to ignore those styling options.

Example:

<Markdown
  styles={ markdownStyles }
  whitelist={['link', 'url']}
>
  { description }
</Markdown>

Will only apply the default styles for link and url. You don't need to pass in a rules prop that contained a key for all the styles you don't want and reimplement their styling output anymore.
