Screen

Screen is a layout component that you can use to wrap all the views in your app. By default, it renders a Box element.

The Screen component also implements a SafeAreaView under the hood. This allows the content wrapped by the Screen component to always be within the safe areas of the device. (This is especially helpful for keeping your app accessible on devices with rounded corners or camera notches)

Import#

import { Screen } from "pearl-ui";

Usage#

<Screen>This is the screen</Screen>

Scrolling behaviour#

More often than not the contents inside your screen would exceed the device height, thus Screen allows you to add scrolling support to all your screens using the scrollable prop. By default, it's value is set to true.

<Screen scrollable={true}>This is a scrollable screen</Screen>
<Screen scrollable={false}>This is a static screen</Screen>

Pull to Refresh#

The pull-to-refresh (or swipe-to-refresh) pattern lets a user pull down on a list of data using touch in order to retrieve more data.

This can be added using the onPullToRefresh prop which expects a function/Promise which should be executed if a pull-to-refresh action has occured.

(Note: The screen needs to scrollable to allow this behaviour to work on iOS devices).

<Screen  onPullToRefresh={() => {    new Promise<void>((res, rej) =>      setTimeout(() => {        console.log("I got executed!");        res();      }, 2000)    );  }}>  Pull me!</Screen>
