Syntax highlighting component for React Native
using react-syntax-highlighter
You can see a demo using snack by Expo

You can try it out with Expo here
npm install react-native-syntax-highlighter --save
Accepts all of the same props as react-syntax-highlighter
with three additional props.
fontFamily
- the font family to use for syntax text.fontSize
- the fontSize for syntax text.highligter
- defaults to rendering with vdom created from highlightjs, but can pass in prism
as alternate option. You can see more about dealing with the prism highlighter in the docs for react-syntax-highlighter but one of the main uses would be better support for jsximport SyntaxHighlighter from 'react-native-syntax-highlighter';
/*by default component uses hljs so access hljs styles, import from /prism for prism styles */
import { docco } from 'react-syntax-highlighter/styles/hljs';
const Component = () => {
const codeString = '(num) => num + 1';
return <SyntaxHighlighter
language='javascript'
style={docco}
highlighter={"prism" || "hljs"}
>
{codeString}
</SyntaxHighlighter>;
}
