Introduction

After drawing a bit of inspiration from ENJOY CSS Shapes We decided to see if I could remake some of these shapes with a subset of CSS.

We have to access react-design here so drawing shapes is pretty mush easy but my way is to see if I can just use normal Views and to get all the shapes in React

Installation

This doesn't required any special installation

Example

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import {
  SafeAreaView,
  StyleSheet,
  View,
  Text,
  TouchableOpacity,
} from 'react-native';

const App = () => {
  const [showSquare, setShowSquare] = useState(false);
  const [showCircle, setShowCircle] = useState(false);
  const [showTriangle, setShowTriangle] = useState(false);
  const [showRectangle, setShowRectangle] = useState(false);
  const [showOval, setShowOval] = useState(false);

  const changeShape = (shape) => {
    setShowSquare(shape == 'Square');
    setShowCircle(shape == 'Circle');
    setShowTriangle(shape == 'Triangle');
    setShowRectangle(shape == 'Rectangle');
    setShowOval(shape == 'Oval');
  };

  return (
    <SafeAreaView style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <View
          style={
            showSquare
              ? styles.SquareShapeView
              : showCircle
              ? styles.CircleShapeView
              : showRectangle
              ? styles.RectangleShapeView
              : showTriangle
              ? styles.TriangleShapeView
              : showOval
              ? styles.OvalShapeView
              : ''
          }
        />
        <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => changeShape('Square')} active={0.8}>
          <Text style={{ marginTop: 20, fontSize: 20 }}>Square</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
        <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => changeShape('Circle')} active={0.8}>
          <Text style={{ marginTop: 20, fontSize: 20 }}>Circle</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
        <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => changeShape('Triangle')} active={0.8}>
          <Text style={{ marginTop: 20, fontSize: 20 }}>Triangle</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
        <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => changeShape('Rectangle')} active={0.8}>
          <Text style={{ marginTop: 20, fontSize: 20 }}>Rectangle</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
        <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => changeShape('Oval')} active={0.8}>
          <Text style={{ marginTop: 20, fontSize: 20 }}>Oval</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
      </View>
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
  CircleShapeView: {
    //To make Circle Shape
    width: 150,
    height: 150,
    borderRadius: 150 / 2,
    backgroundColor: '#FF00FF',
  },
  OvalShapeView: {
    //To make Oval Shape
    marginTop: 20,
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    backgroundColor: '#ED2525',
    borderRadius: 50,
    transform: [{ scaleX: 2 }],
  },
  SquareShapeView: {
    //To make Square Shape
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    backgroundColor: '#14ff5f',
  },
  RectangleShapeView: {
    //To make Rectangle Shape
    marginTop: 20,
    width: 120 * 2,
    height: 120,
    backgroundColor: '#14ff5f',
  },
  TriangleShapeView: {
    //To make Triangle Shape
    width: 0,
    height: 0,
    borderLeftWidth: 60,
    borderRightWidth: 60,
    borderBottomWidth: 120,
    borderStyle: 'solid',
    backgroundColor: 'transparent',
    borderLeftColor: 'transparent',
    borderRightColor: 'transparent',
    borderBottomColor: '#606070',
  },
});
export default App;
