Overview

Native Jetpack Compose components for React Native using the Fabric renderer. Build Android forms and interfaces with Material 3 design while maintaining a familiar React workflow.

Features

• 🤖 Native Jetpack Compose - Real Material 3 components, not web views or custom drawings
• 🔧 No Dependencies - Safe from supply chain attacks
• ⚡ Fabric Renderer - Built on React Native's modern architecture
• 📝 TypeScript-first - Full type safety and autocomplete support
• 🔄 Two-Way Binding - State syncs between JavaScript and Compose
• 📋 Form Components - TextField, Picker, SheetPicker, DatePicker, TimePicker
• 🎨 Material You - Dynamic colors on Android 12+ with system theming
• 📱 Wide Compatibility - Supports Android 7+ (API level 24)
• 📦 Zero Config - No complex setup, just install and use

Note: This library is Android-only. For iOS, check out @mgcrea/react-native-swiftui.

Demo

Quick Start

Installation

npm install @mgcrea/react-native-jetpack-compose
# or
pnpm add @mgcrea/react-native-jetpack-compose
# or
yarn add @mgcrea/react-native-jetpack-compose

Requirements

• React Native 0.76.0+ (New Architecture required)
• Android API level 24+ (Android 7.0)

Basic Usage

import { useState } from "react";
import { View } from "react-native";
import { TextField, DatePicker, Picker } from "@mgcrea/react-native-jetpack-compose";

export function BookingForm() {
  const [name, setName] = useState("");
  const [date, setDate] = useState<Date | null>(null);
  const [room, setRoom] = useState<string | null>(null);

  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, padding: 16, gap: 16 }}>
      <TextField
        label="Guest Name"
        value={name}
        onChange={setName}
      />
      <DatePicker
        label="Check-in Date"
        value={date}
        onConfirm={setDate}
      />
      <Picker
        label="Room Type"
        value={room}
        onChange={setRoom}
        options={[
          { value: "standard", label: "Standard Room" },
          { value: "deluxe", label: "Deluxe Suite" },
          { value: "penthouse", label: "Penthouse" },
        ]}
      />
    </View>
  );
}

How It Works

Components are rendered directly through Jetpack Compose:

1. React renders JSX - Components receive props and manage state
2. Props bridge to native - Fabric passes props to Kotlin ViewManagers
3. Compose renders UI - Native Jetpack Compose renders Material 3 components
4. Events bridge back - User interactions trigger React callbacks

This means 60fps native performance with no JavaScript layout overhead.
