React Native Spacer

A view wrapper that will float above the keyboard when it displayed

Technically, it uses Animated.View and will animate a translateY value to avoid the keyboard. KeyboardAvodingView is highly recommended. But in some rare case when KeyboardAvodingView not working, try this Spacer.

Demo

See demo on Expo Snack

I. Installation

npm install --save react-native-spacer

II. How to use

Class Spacer is a wrapper using Animated.View. For usage, see official documentation Animated and View

</Spacer>
