Disabling buttons on react native
I'm making an android app using react native and I've used TouchableOpacity component to create buttons.
I use a text input component to accept text from the user and the button should only be enabled once the text input matches a certain string.
I can think of a way to do this by initially rendering the button without the TouchableOpactiy wrapper and re-rendering with the wrapper once the input string matches.
But I'm guessing there is a much better way to do this. Can anyone help?
TouchableOpacity
extents TouchableWithoutFeedback
, so you can just use the disabled
property :
<TouchableOpacity disabled={true}>
<Text>I'm disabled</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
React Native TouchableWithoutFeedback #disabled documentation
The new Pressable API has a disabled
option too :
<Pressable disable={true}>
{({ pressed }) => (
<Text>I'm disabled</Text>
)}
</Pressable>
Just do this
<TouchableOpacity activeOpacity={disabled ? 1 : 0.7} onPress={!disabled && onPress}>
<View>
<Text>{text}</Text>
</View>
</TouchableOpacity>
This seems like the kind of thing that could be solved using a Higher Order Component. I could be wrong though because I'm struggling to understand it 100% myself, but maybe it'll be helpful to you (here's a couple links)...

this native-base there is solution:
<Button
block
disabled={!learnedWordsByUser.length}
style={{ marginTop: 10 }}
onPress={learnedWordsByUser.length && () => {
onFlipCardsGenerateNewWords(learnedWordsByUser)
onFlipCardsBtnPress()
}}
>
<Text>Let's Review</Text>
</Button>
