Community React Native Elements Best Practices

Comprehensive best practices guide for React Native Elements applications. Contains 45 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact to guide component usage, theming, and performance optimization.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

Setting up React Native Elements in a new project
Configuring ThemeProvider and createTheme
Building lists with ListItem components
Implementing form inputs with Input and SearchBar
Optimizing FlatList performance with RNE components
Reviewing code using React Native Elements

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority	Category	Impact	Prefix
1	Import & Setup	CRITICAL	`setup-`
2	Theme Architecture	CRITICAL	`theme-`
3	Component Selection	HIGH	`comp-`
4	List Performance	HIGH	`list-`
5	Props & Configuration	MEDIUM-HIGH	`props-`
6	Styling Patterns	MEDIUM	`style-`
7	Callbacks & Events	MEDIUM	`event-`
8	Advanced Patterns	LOW	`adv-`

Quick Reference

1. Import & Setup (CRITICAL)

setup-themeprovider - Wrap app with ThemeProvider for consistent theming
setup-imports - Use @rneui/themed vs @rneui/base correctly
setup-createtheme - Type-safe theme configuration with createTheme
setup-tree-shaking - Enable proper tree-shaking for bundle size
setup-safe-area - Configure SafeAreaProvider for notched devices

2. Theme Architecture (CRITICAL)

theme-usetheme-hook - Access theme reactively with useTheme
theme-dark-mode - Configure light/dark mode with createTheme
theme-component-defaults - Set component defaults in theme
theme-updatetheme - Runtime theme updates without remount
theme-color-scheme - Sync with system color scheme
theme-custom-colors - Extend theme with custom colors safely

3. Component Selection (HIGH)

comp-listitem-over-view - Use ListItem for list rows
comp-input-over-textinput - Use Input for form fields
comp-searchbar-platform - Platform-specific SearchBar variants
comp-button-type - Use Button type prop for variants
comp-icon-source - Choose Icon type wisely for bundle size
comp-avatar-vs-image - Use Avatar for profile images

4. List Performance (HIGH)

list-memo-items - Memoize ListItem in FlatList
list-keyextractor - Always provide keyExtractor
list-getitemlayout - Use getItemLayout for fixed heights
list-renderitem-callback - Extract renderItem with useCallback
list-windowsize - Configure windowSize for memory balance
list-virtualized - Use FlatList over ScrollView
list-removeClipped - Configure removeClippedSubviews carefully

5. Props & Configuration (MEDIUM-HIGH)

props-loading-state - Use loading prop for async operations
props-disabled-styling - Configure disabledStyle for feedback
props-input-validation - Use errorMessage for validation
props-icon-configuration - Configure Icon props correctly
props-searchbar-loading - Show loading state in SearchBar
props-button-color - Use color prop for semantic colors

6. Styling Patterns (MEDIUM)

style-stylesheet - Use StyleSheet.create over inline objects
style-containerStyle - Use containerStyle for wrappers
style-usememo-dynamic - Memoize dynamic styles
style-theme-colors - Use theme colors over hardcoded values
style-component-props - Prefer component-specific style props

7. Callbacks & Events (MEDIUM)

event-usecallback - Wrap handlers in useCallback
event-debounce-search - Debounce SearchBar onChangeText
event-listitem-onpress - Pass item data correctly
event-avoid-anonymous - Avoid anonymous functions in renders
event-input-handlers - Configure Input handlers efficiently

8. Advanced Patterns (LOW)

adv-custom-component - Wrap RNE components correctly
adv-platform-specific - Handle platform-specific props
adv-makeStyles - Use makeStyles for theme-aware styles
adv-overlay-modal - Choose Overlay vs Modal correctly
adv-image-component - Configure Avatar ImageComponent for caching
