Support

version react-native version
1.0.0+ 0.60.0+

Installation

$ npm install --save react-native-bootsplash@next
# --- or ---
$ yarn add react-native-bootsplash@next

Don't forget going into the ios directory to execute a pod install.

🆘 Manual linking

Because this package targets React Native 0.60.0+, you will probably don't need to link it manually. Otherwise if it's not the case, follow this additional instructions:

👀 See manual linking instructions

iOS

Add this line to your ios/Podfile file, then run pod install.

target 'YourAwesomeProject' do
  #
  pod 'RNBootSplash', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-bootsplash'
end

Android

  1. Add the following lines to android/settings.gradle:
include ':react-native-bootsplash'
project(':react-native-bootsplash').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-bootsplash/android')
  1. Add the implementation line to the dependencies in android/app/build.gradle:
dependencies {
  // ...
  implementation project(':react-native-bootsplash')
}
  1. Add the import and link the package in MainApplication.java:
import com.zoontek.rnbootsplash.RNBootSplashPackage; // <- add the RNBootSplashPackage import

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {

  //

  @Override
  protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
    @SuppressWarnings("UnnecessaryLocalVariable")
    List<ReactPackage> packages = new PackageList(this).getPackages();
    //
    packages.add(new RNBootSplashPackage());
    return packages;
  }

  //
}

Setup

Assets generation

In order to speed up the setup, we provide a CLI to generate assets, create the Android Drawable XML file and the iOS Storyboard file automatically .

$ npx react-native generate-bootsplash --help
# --- or ---
$ yarn react-native generate-bootsplash --help

The command can take multiple arguments:

react-native generate-bootsplash <logoPath>

Generate a launch screen using an original logo file

Options:
  --background-color <color>  color used as launch screen background (in hexadecimal format) (default: "#fff")
  --logo-width <width>        logo width at @1x (in dp - we recommand approximately ~100) (default: 100)
  --assets-path [path]        path to your static assets directory (useful to require the logo file in JS)
  -h, --help                  output usage information

Full command usage example

yarn react-native generate-bootsplash assets/bootsplash_logo_original.png \
  --background-color=F5FCFF \
  --logo-width=100 \
  --assets-path=assets

This tool relies on the naming conventions that are used in the /example project and will therefore create the following files:

android/app/src/main/res/drawable/bootsplash.xml
android/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml (creation and edition)
android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-hdpi/bootsplash_logo.png
android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-mdpi/bootsplash_logo.png
android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-xhdpi/bootsplash_logo.png
android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-xxhdpi/bootsplash_logo.png
android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-xxxhdpi/bootsplash_logo.png

iOS

⚠️ Only .storyboard files are supported (Apple will deprecate other methods in April 2020).

Edit the ios/YourProjectName/AppDelegate.m file:

#import "AppDelegate.h"

#import <React/RCTBridge.h>
#import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>
#import <React/RCTRootView.h>

#import "RNBootSplash.h" // <- add the header import

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  //
  rootViewController.view = rootView;
  self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController;
  [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

  [RNBootSplash initWithStoryboard:@"BootSplash" rootView:rootView]; // <- initialization using the storyboard file name

  return YES;
}

Set the BootSplash.storyboard as launch screen file:

Drag and drop the file Create folder reference Set as Launch Screen File

Android

  1. Edit the android/app/src/main/java/com/yourprojectname/MainActivity.java file:
import android.os.Bundle; // <- add this necessary import

import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
import com.zoontek.rnbootsplash.RNBootSplash; // <- add this necessary import

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {

  //

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    RNBootSplash.init(this, R.style.AppTheme); // <- display the generated bootsplash.xml drawable over our MainActivity
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  }
  1. Edit the android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml file:
<resources>

  <!-- Base application theme -->
  <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Your base theme customization -->
    <!---->

    <!-- Set the generated bootsplash.xml drawable as MainActivity background -->
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/bootsplash</item>
  </style>

</resources>

API

hide()

Method type

type hide = (config?: { fade?: boolean }) => Promise<void>;

Usage

import RNBootSplash from "react-native-bootsplash";

RNBootSplash.hide(); // immediate
RNBootSplash.hide({ fade: true }); // fade

show()

Method type

type show = (config?: { fade?: number }) => Promise<void>;

Usage

import RNBootSplash from "react-native-bootsplash";

RNBootSplash.show(); // immediate
RNBootSplash.show({ fade: true }); // fade

getVisibilityStatus()

Method type

type VisibilityStatus = "visible" | "hidden" | "transitioning";
type getVisibilityStatus = () => Promise<VisibilityStatus>;

Usage

import RNBootSplash from "react-native-bootsplash";

RNBootSplash.getVisibilityStatus().then((status) => console.log(status));

Real world example

import React, { useEffect } from "react";
import { Text } from "react-native";
import RNBootSplash from "react-native-bootsplash";

function App() {
  let init = async () => {
    // …do multiple async tasks
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    init().finally(() => {
      RNBootSplash.hide({ fade: true });
    });
  }, []);

  return <Text>My awesome app</Text>;
}

🤙 A more complex example is available in the /example folder.

🕵️‍♂️ Comparison with react-native-splash-screen

  • If react-native-splash-screen encourages you to display an image over your application, react-native-bootsplash way-to-go is to design your launch screen using platforms tools (Xcode layout editor and Android drawable resource).
  • Hiding the launch screen is configurable: fade it out or hide it without any animation at all (no fade needed if you want to animate it out!).
