React Native Styling

Priority: P1 (OPERATIONAL)

Implementation Guidelines

  • StyleSheet.create: Always use over inline objects (optimized, validated).
  • Flexbox: Default layout. No CSS Grid.
  • Responsive: Use Dimensions, useWindowDimensions, or percentage widths.
  • Theming: Centralize colors, fonts in theme/ folder.
  • Platform Styles: Use Platform.select for conditional styles.
  • Dark Mode: Use React Context + useColorScheme().

Responsive Design

const { width } = useWindowDimensions();
const isSmall = width < 375;

Anti-Patterns

  • No Inline Styles: Use StyleSheet.create.
  • No Magic Numbers: Use theme constants.
  • No Absolute Positioning: Avoid unless necessary.
  • No Fixed Widths: Use flex or percentages.
