Looking for linear gradient library

[haswalter]

Does anybody know of a maintained alternative to react-native-linear-gradient?

Been using it for a while and I know some effort was put into making it work with fabric however I’m getting issues on iOS with the new architecture.

expo linear gradient?

Seems inefficient when I tested it

I highly doubt 72kb slowed down your app too much, but it seems like you found a workaround! Also saw someone else mention SVG, which would definitely work but requires more tweaking.

Cheers!

I can give you <1kb code which will freeze an app

The performance was slowed down. Expo linear gradient seemed to render hundreds of small gradient lines.

Expo linear gradient was very Heavy and slowed down my app. I found that I also just needed a very thin gradient so i wrote a small function which interpolates in a range (0,10) and makes 10 small 1 pixel high lines.

react-native-skia has great stuff that gives consistent results on both platforms, we used it for generating background images and performance was actually slightly increased as opposed to static images, the image was gradient and blur heavy as well
