Hiding the status bar with React Native

How do you hide the status bar for iOS or Android when developing with React Native? I've imported StatusBar, but I believe there is also StatusBarIOS and a StatusBar for Android.

Figured out how to hide the status bar. First of all, StatusBarIOS is deprecated so you need to import StatusBar and then simply include this code snippet at the top of your render:

<StatusBar hidden />

React Native Docs on StatusBar

You can invoke this method from anywhere in your component:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { StatusBar } from 'react-native';

class MyComponent extends Component {

    componentDidMount() {
       StatusBar.setHidden(true);
    }
}

EDIT:

This will hide the status bar for the entire app and not just in your specific component, to solve this you can do:

componentWillUnmount() {
     StatusBar.setHidden(false);
}

Or calling this method with false from somewhere else.
