React Native usage example

VisuallyHiddenExample.tsx

1import { Text } from 'react-native';2import { VisuallyHidden } from 'reactnatively';34export function Example() {5  return (6    <VisuallyHidden style={{ padding: 16 }}>7      <Text>VisuallyHidden content</Text>8    </VisuallyHidden>9  );10}

Props

Prop	Type	Default	Description
children	ReactNode	undefined	Content rendered inside the component.

Variants and examples

Default

VisuallyHiddenDefault.tsx

1import { Text } from 'react-native';2import { VisuallyHidden } from 'reactnatively';34export function Preview() {5  return (6    <VisuallyHidden style={{ padding: 16 }}>7      <Text>VisuallyHidden content</Text>8    </VisuallyHidden>9  );10}

Composed example

VisuallyHiddenComposed.tsx

1import { Text } from 'react-native';2import { VisuallyHidden, Box } from 'reactnatively';34export function VisuallyHiddenComposed() {5  return (6    <Box padding="md">7      <VisuallyHidden>8        <Text>VisuallyHidden content</Text>9      </VisuallyHidden>10    </Box>11  );12}

TypeScript IntelliSense

The component exports typed props, so editors can autocomplete prop names, union values, callbacks, and theme-aware style objects as you type.

VisuallyHidden.types-example.tsx

1import type { ComponentProps } from 'react';2import { VisuallyHidden } from 'reactnatively';34type VisuallyHiddenProps = ComponentProps<typeof VisuallyHidden>;56const exampleProps: VisuallyHiddenProps = {7  style: undefined,8  testID: "reactnatively-example",9  accessibilityLabel: "Example control",10};1112export function TypedVisuallyHidden() {13  return <VisuallyHidden {...exampleProps} />;14}

Theme support

VisuallyHidden participates in the Reactnatively theme system through semantic colors, spacing, radii, typography, motion, and glass tokens where those props apply. Wrap your app in ReactnativelyProvider or ThemeProvider to keep light mode, dark mode, density, and custom tokens consistent.

Accessibility

Use accessible labels, hints, roles, and focus behavior when VisuallyHiddenis interactive. Reactnatively components are designed for React Native apps that need screen-reader support, reduced-motion handling, and consistent touch targets.

Expo compatibility

VisuallyHidden can be used in Expo apps with TypeScript. Glass and blur behavior depends on platform capability, so production interfaces should keep text contrast and fallback tinting readable when native blur is unavailable.
