React native hyperlink styling not working, how to fix?

Accepted Answer

Ensure the linkStyle prop is applied correctly and that nested Text components are properly wrapped. Check for style conflicts or use the injectViewProps prop for more dynamic styling based on URLs.

Question 4

How to replace link text with custom names using react-native-hyperlink?

Accepted Answer

Use the linkText prop with a function that returns the desired text, as shown in the README example where 'https://github.com/obipawan/hyperlink' is replaced with 'Hyperlink'.

Question 5

react-native-hyperlink vs manual link parsing in React Native
