I personally no longer have time/interest to maintain this library, for the simple reason that I am not using markdown in any of the projects I am currently (and for the foreseeable future) working on. This has probably been quite apparent in the lack of updates to the project recently, as well as sluggish response times to issues. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the project thus far by way of PRs or issues, your work is much appreciated :)
Gladly, the library will live on and prosper.@zivester has been working on a fork of the project which is rather far ahead of this repository and has already fixed many of the issues that have been reported here. There are also plans to improve the library further with e.g. support for TypeScript.
What this means:
Feel free to continue using react-native-easy-markdown, future changes will be published under the same npm package name
This repository contains version 1.2.0 of the library, and any version updates on npm thereafter will be based on the new repository
Issues & PRs: I will no longer be merging PRs or responding to issues in this repository. If you've already posted an issue or PR, I would urge you to see if the issue has been fixed in @zivester's fork. If not, he would likely appreciate your contributions in the new repository
React Native Easy Markdown
React Native Easy Markdown is a simple React Native component for rendering Markdown as native components, and it works equally well on both Android and iOS.
RNEM was created because other available libraries seemed to be somewhat inconsistent in how the parsed markdown is displayed, and they would render component trees filled with e.g. nested <Text/> components where that was not necessary, which made styling difficult. RNEM also provides a possibility to supply your own render methods for certain components, such as images and links, so you can style and layout them however you wish.
For now, the following markdown is supported:
Text formatting (headings, strong, italics, strikethrough...)
Blockquotes
Lists (ordered / unordered )
Images
Links
Any unsupported markdown will not crash your app, as it is simply ignored. If there is a more out-there use case you wish to have supported (such as code blocks etc.), the code is clean and simple to work on, and pull requests are most welcome. The project is stable and the current feature set should be enough for most use cases.
import Markdown from 'react-native-easy-markdown';
....
render() {
return(
<Markdown>
{
'# Why is markdown cool?\n\n' +
'* because it lets us do simple formatting **easily** \n' +
'* _without_ the need for complex CMS data structures \n' +
'* and you can outsource ~~your~~ work to the content creators! \n\n' +
'> This is a blockquote \n\n' +
'![We can add images!](http://placehold.it/300x300) \n' +
'[Or link to places](http://foobar.com) \n'
}
</Markdown>
);
}
Props
Prop name
Description
Type
Default value
useDefaultStyles
Whether to use default styles (see below)
boolean
true
markdownStyles
Override the default styles with your own (see style guide below)
object
{}
parseInline
Parse markdown inline, which is useful for simple markdown snippets intended to be displayed on a single line. (see here for details)
boolean
false
debug
Output logs that show the component tree that is being rendered based on the supplied markdown.
boolean
false
style
Style for the <Markdown/> component
object
{}
renderImage
Custom renderer for images
function
none
renderLink
Custom renderer for links
function
none
renderListBullet
Custom rendered for list bullets
function
none
If you need more control over how some of the components are rendered, you may provide the custom renderers outlined above like so:
Notice the children parameter passed to renderLink, which contains whatever children would otherwise be rendered within the link. In the default implementation, those children will be rendered within a <TouchableOpacity/> but this gives you the possibility to provide your own touchable component.
Styling
You can supply the component with your own markdownStyles prop to override the defaults. Note that styles will be overridden only for the supplied properties, and other properties will use the default styles if useDefaultStyles is true. Styles are applied to elements in order of specificity, so for example a strong text node would have both text and strong styles, in that order. Available styles are:
Style
RN component
Description
h1-h6
<Text/>
# Heading 1-6
text
<Text/>
Base styles for all text components
strong
<Text/>
Additional styles for Strong text only
em
<Text/>
Additional styles for italic text only
del
<Text/>
Additional styles for strikethrough text only
u
<Text/>
Additional styles for underline text only
linkWrapper
<TouchableOpacity/>
Touchable wrapper for links
link
<Text/>
Additional styles for text within links
list
<View />
Wrapper around lists
listItem
<View/>
Wrapper around list items
listItemContent
<View/>
List item content wrapper, excluding the bullet/number
listItemBullet
<View/>
Bullet shown on unordered lists
listItemNumber
<Text/>
Number shown on ordered lists
block
<View/>
Wrapper around paragraphs
blockQuote
<View/>
Additional styles for paragraphs which are blockquotes
Complex structures within list items, such as nested lists, should technically work but may yield unexpected results.
HTML-style raw text input will not be parsed correctly. Strings coming from an API or CMS etc. will work normally, but if you wish to supply the markdown component text directly as in the example, use the same format used there.
Change Log

Fix crash on unsupported node types
Add support for node type 'u' (underline)
Start list item indexes from 1 (was previously 0)
1.1.3
Update default styles and move them to separate file.
1.1.2
You can now supply custom renderers for images, links and list bullets as props.
Improved styling options and layouting.
Replace lodash dependency with vanilla methods
Component now updates properly if markdownStyles are changed, which makes previewing styling with hot reloading possible.
1.1.1
Minor bug fixes
1.1.0
Significant improvements to text layouting. Links are now displayed inline by default.
Fixed issue: 'Nesting <View> within <Text> is not supported on Android'
Updated default styles.
1.0.5
Removed video support, which was not working correctly.
1.0.4
Improved layout for text-only sections. Now wrapped in a Text component instead of a View, which makes sure nested text wraps properly.

Fixed missing return statement in componentShouldUpdate that was throwing a warning
Contributing and roadmap
This project is stable and reliable with the current feature set, and I did not want to add support for some of the more obscure markdown components now as they are not needed for my personal use cases and I did not want to add something that is not 100% working. I am more than happy to accept pull requests for any components that you would like to see included in this library.
