Question 1

react-native-flash-message vs react-native-toast-message which is better?

Accepted Answer

React Native Flash Message excels in customization and iPhone notch support, offering more props and flexibility. React-native-toast-message might be simpler for basic use; choose Flash Message if you need detailed control and modern device compatibility.

Question 2

How to change the animation speed in react-native-flash-message?

Accepted Answer

Set the animationDuration prop in the message object when calling showMessage. For example, use showMessage({ message: 'Test', animationDuration: 500 }) to slow down animations, as documented in the props table with a default of 225ms.

Question 3

Can I use custom icons with react-native-flash-message?

Accepted Answer

Yes, pass a render function to the icon prop in showMessage, as shown in the README example. This allows JSX elements like custom images, giving full control over icon appearance.

Question 4

How to handle multiple flash messages at once?

Accepted Answer

The library manages messages internally with auto-hide, but for sequential displays, you may need custom logic. It doesn't support built-in queuing, so manual timing or state management is required for complex flows.

Question 5

Is react-native-flash-message compatible with TypeScript?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's a JavaScript library with no native dependencies, so it works with TypeScript. However, type definitions might need manual augmentation or community support, as the README doesn't mention built-in TypeScript types.

Question 6

How to disable all flash messages programmatically?

Accepted Answer

Use the FlashMessageManager utility class to set disabled to true, as detailed in the README. This allows turning off messages globally, useful for testing or specific app states.
