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).

We just swapped out the React Native WebView in our app with the version from React Native Community. The swap took less than a day, required almost no code modifications, and is faster and CSS works better. Props to everyone in the community (including those at Infinite Red) that helped get that component split out.

Platforms Supported

iOS (both UIWebView and WKWebView)
Android

Note: React Native WebView is not currently supported by Expo unless you “eject”.

Versioning

If you need the exact same WebView as the one from react-native, please use version 2.0.0. Future versions will follow semantic versioning.

Getting Started

$ yarn add react-native-webview
$ react-native link react-native-webview

Read our Getting Started Guide for more.

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
        source={{ uri: "https://infinite.red/react-native" }}
        style={{ marginTop: 20 }}
      />
    );
  }
}

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, except that this package defaults useWebKit={true} unlike the built-in WebView.

Troubleshooting

If you’re getting Invariant Violation: Native component for "RNCWKWebView does not exist" it likely means you forgot to run react-native link or there was some error with the linking process
