The reason we are using this repository is because it has the necessary OBJ-C code to not crash app when receiving a base64 image string on IOS. This is only a temporary solution.

Provides custom Image view for React Native that allows to perform pinch-to-zoom on images. Works on both iOS and Android.

This component uses PhotoDraweeView for Android and MWPhotobrowser on iOS.

import PhotoView from 'react-native-photo-view';

Basics:

<PhotoView
  source={{uri: 'https://facebook.github.io/react/img/logo_og.png'}}
  minimumZoomScale={0.5}
  maximumZoomScale={3}
  androidScaleType="center"
  onLoad={() => console.log("Image loaded!")}
  style={{width: 300, height: 300}} />

react-native-image-zoom functionality is similar, but there are several major differencies:

• PhotoView is based on PhotoDraweeView which is the "PhotoView For Fresco". It works better, it supports several important callbacks out-of-box and it is, actually, recommended by Chris Banes, because his PhotoView (base for react-native-image-zoom) doesn't completely support Facebook Fresco;
• PhotoView has more options like fadeDuration and minimumZoomScale/maximumZoomScale and more important callbacks;
• PhotoView is written in the same manner as default React Image, and it supports most of the features Image has (the goal is to be fully compaitable with Image and support absolutely everything);
• It is possible to use PhotoView as a container (currently iOS only)!

Just two simple steps:

npm install --save react-native-photo-view

react-native link react-native-photo-view

1. Add these lines to android/settings.gradle

include ':react-native-photo-view'
project(':react-native-photo-view').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-photo-view/android')

2. Add one more dependency to android/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
    compile project(':react-native-photo-view')
}

3. Add it to your MainActivity.java for RN < 0.29 and to your MainApplication.java for RN >=0.29

To register PhotoViewPackage, you need to change the MainActivity or MainApplication depending on React Native version of your app:

import com.reactnative.photoview.PhotoViewPackage;

// ...

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
    // ...

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new PhotoViewPackage() // add this manager
      );
    }

    // ...
}

1. Add this line to your podfile

  pod 'react-native-photo-view', path: './node_modules/react-native-photo-view'

2. Run pod install
