React Native WebView
React Native WebView is a community-maintained WebView component for React Native. It is intended to be a replacement for the built-in WebView (which was removed from core).
Maintainers
Many thanks to these companies for providing us with time to work on open source.
Please note that maintainers spend a lot of free time working on this too so feel free to sponsor them, it really makes a difference.
Windows and macOS are managed by Microsoft, notably:
- Alexander Sklar (Twitter @alexsklar) from React Native for Windows
- Chiara Mooney from React Native for Windows @ Microsoft
Shout-out to Jamon Holmgren from Infinite Red for helping a lot with the repo when he had more available time.
Disclaimer
Maintaining WebView is very complex because it is often used for many different use cases (rendering SVGs, PDFs, login flows, and much more). We also support many platforms and both architectures of react-native.
Since WebView was extracted from the React Native core, nearly 500 pull requests have been merged.
Considering that we have limited time, issues will mostly serve as a discussion place for the community, while we will prioritize reviewing and merging pull requests.
Platform compatibility
This project is compatible with iOS, Android, Windows and macOS.
This project supports both the old (paper) and the new architecture (fabric).
This project is compatible with expo.
Getting Started
Read our Getting Started Guide. If any step seems unclear, please create a pull request.
Versioning
This project follows semantic versioning. We do not hesitate to release breaking changes but they will be in a major version.
Usage
Import the WebView component from react-native-webview and use it like so:
1import React, { Component } from 'react'; 2import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native'; 3import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview'; 4 5// ... 6const MyWebComponent = () => { 7 return <WebView source={{ uri: 'https://reactnative.dev/' }} style={{ flex: 1 }} />; 8}
