Technology & The Future

Are you a busi­ness own­er who wants to serve Android & iOS users with seam­less exper­i­ences and has budget con­straints as well? If that answers yes, your busi­ness needs hybrid mobile apps. React Nat­ive frame­work is the ulti­mate choice among app developers for cross-plat­form app development.

Being an open-source frame­work, React Nat­ive have numer­ous lib­rar­ies of nat­ive ele­ments, includ­ing APIs, nav­ig­a­tion, fancy vec­tor icons, anim­a­tions, and font fam­il­ies. Its com­munity mem­bers are con­stantly adding value with the addi­tion of more lib­rar­ies. Though there can be sev­er­al details around React nat­ive lib­rar­ies, this blog will be con­fined to dis­cuss­ing React nat­ive font family.

The core com­pon­ent here is the Text con­figured to dis­play text on the screen to the users. This com­pon­ent sup­ports styl­ing, nest­ing, and touch hand­ling. Titles and body text with sim­il­ar styl­ing are often grouped togeth­er as fonts of the same fam­ily are referred to as font fam­ily. As developers use font­Fam­ily while writ­ing code in React Nat­ive, the text will auto­mat­ic­ally inher­it prop­er­ties and font styl­ing of the font fam­ily it belongs to.

Though React Nat­ive default font is San Fran­cisco for iOS and Roboto for android, there are plenty oth­er font fam­il­ies that both OSs support.

How to add cus­tom fonts in React native ?

In addi­tion to the exist­ing lib­rary of React nat­ive font fam­ily, you can per­son­al­ize your mobile apps by installing cus­tom font fam­il­ies. Shar­ing the step-by-step pro­cess with you here.

1 . Select a font fam­ily you would like to use. Don’t for­get to check the file name. For Android, the file name remains the same, but for iOS, the ​“ Post­Script name” will be added before the file name. So, you need to rename the font files; if you are using the font ​“ SF UI Dis­play” and its files are like the ones shown below, then for iOS, you have to use ​“ SFUID­isplay-Bold” des­pite your file name ​“ SFUIDisplayBold.otf” .

2 . Next step is the addi­tion of fonts to assets.

3 . Now you have to define the assets dir­ect­ory, when using React Nat­ive ver­sion ≥ 0 .60 cre­ate file ​“ react-native.config.js and add below code

4 . If you are still using React Nat­ive ver­sion < 0 .60 . You need to men­tion the loc­a­tion of cus­tom fonts in React nat­ive. Adding the below lines in package.json can make it hap­pen for you. Make sure you add the right path in the source folder else it won’t be able to fetch the font files.

5 . Next thing is to link assets. Due to auto-link­ing, link and unlike com­mands are now removed from React Nat­ive 0 .69 . So, for the ver­sions above 0 .69 run below com­mand in terminal

npx react-nat­ive-asset

And, for ver­sions below 0 .69  use

$ npx react-nat­ive link

For iOS link com­mand will link fonts in Info.plst and for Android cre­ates dir­ect­ory (android/app/src/main/assets/fonts).

6 . Now, you can use this newly added ​“ font­Fam­ily” any­where in the app using React nat­ive styles
