React Native WebView - a Modern, Cross-Platform WebView for React Native

React Native WebView is a modern, well-supported, and cross-platform WebView for React Native. It is intended to be a replacement for the built-in WebView (which will be removed from core).

Platforms Supported

• iOS (both UIWebView and WKWebView)
• Android
• Windows 10 (coming soon)

Installation

Note: this is currently a work-in-progress and not yet published to NPM.

$ npm install --save https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-webview
$ react-native link react-native-webview

Usage

Import the WebView component from react-native-webview and use it like so:

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native'
import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview'

// ...
class MyWebComponent extends Component {
  render () {
    return (
      <WebView
        useWebKit // to use WKWebView -- will be default at some point
        src={{uri: "https://infinite.red/react-native"}}
        style={{marginTop: 20}}
      />
    )
  }
}

Additional properties are supported and will be added here; for now, refer to the previous React Native WebView documentation for more.

Migrate from React Native core WebView to React Native WebView

Simply install React Native WebView and then use it in place of the core WebView. Their APIs are currently identical.

Contributor Notes

• I’ve removed all PropTypes for now. Instead, we’ll be moving toward Flow or TypeScript at a later date
