  ->React.string}
</Text>

JSX Number (float)​

JavaScript JSX Number (float)​

<Text>4.2</Text>

JSX Number (float)​

<Text>

  ->React.string}
</Text>

JSX Array (of string)​

JavaScript JSX Array (of string)​

{items.map((item, i) =>
  <Text key={i++item}>
    {item}
  </Text>
)}

JSX Array (of string)​

{items
->Belt.Array.mapWithIndex((item, index) =>
  <Text
    key=((index->Js.Int.toString)++item)>
    {item->React.string}
  </Text>
  )
->React.array}

JSX conditional string​

JavaScript JSX conditional string​

<Text>{condition && something}</Text>

JSX conditional string​

<Text>
  {
    condition ? something->React.string : React.null
  }
</Text>

JSX optional value​

JavaScript JSX optional string​

Assuming something is a string that can be undefined.

{
  something && <Text>{something.toUpperCase()}</Text>;
}

JSX optional string​

Recommended: Assuming something is an optional string.

{
  something
  ->Belt.Option.map(thing =>
    <Text>
      {thing
      ->Js.String.toUpperCase
      ->React.string}
    </Text>
  )
  ->Belt.Option.getWithDefault(React.null)
}

If you have to work with JavaScript/JSON: Assuming something is a JavaScript string that can be undefined.

{
  something
  ->Js.Nullable.toOption /* convert undefined || string  as option(string) */
  ->Belt.Option.map(thing =>
    <Text>
      {thing
      ->Js.String.toUpperCase
      ->React.string}
    </Text>
  )
  ->Belt.Option.getWithDefault(React.null)
}

React Native StyleSheet​

JavaScript React Native StyleSheet​

import { StyleSheet } from "react-native";

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    maxHeight: 600,
    width: 800,
    justifyContent: "flex-start",
    alignItems: "center",
    margin: "auto",
  },
  cornerThing: {
    position: "absolute",
    top: 100,
    right: -20,
    transform: [{ rotate: "4deg" }],
  },
  text: {
    textTransform: "uppercase",
  },
});

console.log(StyleSheet.flatten([styles.container]));

ReScript React Native StyleSheet​

open ReactNative
open ReactNative.Style // this is useful since all units & style methods comes from Style module

let styles =
  {
    "container":
      viewStyle(
        ~maxHeight=600.->dp,
        ~width=80.->pct,
        ~justifyContent=`flexStart,
        ~alignItems=`center,
        ~margin=auto,
        (),
      ),
    "cornerThing":
      viewStyle(
        ~position=`absolute,
        ~top=100.->dp,
        ~right=(-20.)->dp,
        ~transform=[|rotate(~rotate=4.->deg)|],
        (),
      ),
    "text": textStyle(~textTransform=`uppercase, ()),
  }->StyleSheet.create

Js.log(StyleSheet.flatten([|styles##container|]))

<View style={[styles.container, styles.containerAdditionalStyles]} />

Concatenated styles​

open ReactNative.Style

  |])}
/>

Optional styles​

<View
  style={[
    styles.container,
    condition && styles.containerAdditionalStyles,
    condition2 && { width: 40 },
  ]}
/>

Optional styles​

open ReactNative.Style

  style={arrayOption([|
    Some(styles##container),
    condition ? Some(styles##containerAdditionalStyles) : None,
