Dynamic functions

If you need to pass a value from JSX to your stylesheet you can do so using a concept called dynamic function.

Usage

To use a dynamic function, change your stylesheet’s value from an object to a function:

const stylesheet = createStyleSheet(theme => ({
    container: {
    container: () => ({
        backgroundColor: theme.colors.background,
        flex: 1,
        justifyContent: 'center',
        alignItems: 'center'
    }
    })
}))

Now, you can pass any number of arguments, and all with TypeScript hints:

export const Example = ({ maxWidth, isOdd, children }) => {
    const { styles } = useStyles(stylesheet)


    return (
        <View style={styles.container(maxWidth, isOdd)}>
            {children}
        </View>
    )
}


const stylesheet = createStyleSheet(theme => ({
    container: (maxWidth: number, isOdd: boolean) => ({
        backgroundColor: theme.colors.background,
        flex: 1,
        justifyContent: 'center,
        alignItems: 'center',
        maxWidth,
        borderBottomWidth: isOdd ? 1 : undefined
    })
}))
