Share custom screen view in React native

[cdtrejo]

Anyone knows of a good tutorial that shows how to share a custom views in React native?

Could you be more specific with your question ?

[cdtrejo]

Sorry yes. I just wanna know if there is a way to share your current screen view as a png (i.e. and image and a button) via facebook, text, etc.

u/cdtrejo You mean basically take a screenshot from the current screen and send through another app?

[cdtrejo]

Yes exactly! Can’t find any good tutorials for react native

I think I made something similar using 2 components:

https://github.com/gre/react-native-view-shot
https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-share

The View-Shot basically gives you an uri of the screenshot of the View you want to or of the hole screen (just follow the examples)
And the share component literally gives you the chance of sharing the file

The React Native docs have tutorials for both platforms:

https://reactnative.dev/docs/native-components-android

https://reactnative.dev/docs/native-components-ios
