Default text props

The library provides the default text props below

{
  i: {
    style: {
      fontStyle: 'italic'
    }
  },

  u: {
    style: {
      textDecorationLine: 'underline'
    }
  },

  b: {
    style: {
      fontWeight: 'bold'
    }
  }
}

The static object NestedText.defaultTextProps is exposed to add or change the default props.

import NestedText from "rn-nested-text";

// to add or change text's default props
NestedText.defaultTextProps.link = {
  onPress: () => Linking.openURL("https://www.example.com"),
  style: { color: "blue" },
};
