I'm transitioning a React project into React Native and need help setting up a grid layout in React Native. I want to set up a 5-col by x-row (number of rows may vary) view. I've played around with the react-native-tableview-simple package, but I can't specify the span of a cell. I've also tried the react-native-flexbox-grid package, which I'm able to set up columns, but I'm still not able to set the span-width of a specific cell. I wonder if there's anything I can use.
For reference, I would like my table to look something along the lines like this:
|Col 1|Col 2|Col 3|Col 4|Col 5|
|------------------------------
Row 1| Text | Yes | No |
|------------------------------
Row 2| Text | Yes | No |
|------------------------------
Row 3| Text | Dropdown |
You can do this without any packages. If each row is exactly the same doing the following should solve your problem;
export default class Table extends Component {
renderRow() {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignSelf: 'stretch', flexDirection: 'row' }}>
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignSelf: 'stretch' }} /> { /* Edit these as they are your cells. You may even take parameters to display different data / react elements etc. */}
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignSelf: 'stretch' }} />
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignSelf: 'stretch' }} />
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignSelf: 'stretch' }} />
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignSelf: 'stretch' }} />
</View>
);
}
render() {
const data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
{
data.map((datum) => { // This will render a row for each data element.
return this.renderRow();
})
}
</View>
);
}
}
