React Native is a framework for building native mobile applications using JavaScript and the React framework. To display a file using React Native, you can use the react-native-file-viewer
library. Here's an example of how you can use it:
- Install the library:
npm install react-native-file-viewer
or
yarn add react-native-file-viewer
2. Link the library to your project:
react-native link react-native-file-viewer
3. Import the library in your code:
import FileViewer from 'react-native-file-viewer';
4. Use the open
function to display the file:
const filePath = '/path/to/file.pdf';
FileViewer.open(filePath)
.then(() => {
// success
})
.catch(error => {
// error
});
This will open the file in the default viewer for the file type on the user's device. If the file type is not supported by the device, the promise returned by open
will be rejected with an error.
Note: If you are using Android, you will need to add a file provider to your AndroidManifest.xml file in order to use the react-native-file-viewer
library. You can find more information on how to do this in the library's documentation.
