Getting Started

To install the component library in your React/React Native project, run the following command:

yarn add @kiwicom/universal-components
# Only for React Native
react-native link @kiwicom/universal-components

Loading the icon font

For the Icon component to work correctly, you will need to import the orbit-icon font family in your project.

In a fresh create-react-app

You could add the following snippet in App.css:

@font-face {
  font-family: "orbit-icons";
  src: url(../node_modules/@kiwicom/universal-components/lib/fonts/orbit-icons.ttf);
}

Two working examples on GitHub:

• in the example folder of the @kiwicom/universal-component repository,
• in the web app of Margarita (Next.js based web-app)

In an Expo app

You would need to load the font on your first screen; for example:

import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import * as Expo from 'expo';
import { Fonts, Icon } from '@kiwicom/universal-components';

export default class App extends React.Component {
  state = {
    fontsLoaded: false,
  };

  async componentDidMount() {
    await Expo.Font.loadAsync({
      'orbit-icons': Fonts.OrbitIcons,
    });
    this.setState({ fontsLoaded: true });
  }

  render() {
    if (this.state.fontsLoaded) {
      return (
        <View style={styles.container}>
            <Icon name="airplane" color="#40A798" size="large"/>
            <Text>Open up App.js to start working on your app!</Text>
        </View>
      );
    }
    return null;
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
});
