Installation

1npm install react-native-country-select
2# or
3yarn add react-native-country-select

Additional config to WEB

• Using React Native CLI:

Create a react-native.config.js file at the root of your react-native project with:

1module.exports = {
2  project: {
3    ios: {},
4    android: {},
5  },
6  assets: [
7    './node_modules/react-native-country-select/lib/assets/fonts',
8  ],
9};

Then link the font to your native projects with:

1npx react-native-asset

• Using Expo:

1. Install expo-fonts: npx expo install expo-font;
2. Initialize the expo-font:

1  import { useFonts } from 'expo-font';
2
3  ...
4
5  useFonts({
6    'TwemojiMozilla': require('./node_modules/react-native-country-select/lib/assets/fonts/TwemojiMozilla.woff2'),
7  });
8
9  ...

Observation: you need to recompile your project after adding new fonts.

Testing

When utilizing this package, you may need to target the CountrySelect component in your automated tests. To facilitate this, we provide a testID props for the CountrySelect component. The testID can be integrated with popular testing libraries such as @testing-library/react-native or Maestro. This enables you to efficiently locate and interact with CountrySelect elements within your tests, ensuring a robust and reliable testing experience.

1const countrySelect = getByTestId('countrySelectSearchInput');
2const countrySelectBackdrop = getByTestId('countrySelectBackdrop');
3const countrySelectList = getByTestId('countrySelectList');
4const countrySelectSearchInput = getByTestId('countrySelectSearchInput');
5const countrySelectItem = getByTestId('countrySelectItem');
6const countrySelectCloseButton = getByTestId('countrySelectCloseButton');

Accessibility

Ensure your app is inclusive and usable by everyone by leveraging built-in React Native accessibility features. The accessibility props are covered by this package.
