A comprehensive reference sheet for React Native styling properties, components, and layout behavior.
React Native Styling Cheat Sheet is a documentation project that aggregates React Native's styling properties and layout guidelines into a single-page reference. It solves the problem of scattered documentation by providing developers with a centralized, quick-access guide to styling components, understanding Flexbox behavior, and applying platform-specific styles.
React Native developers, particularly those building mobile applications who need frequent access to styling syntax, property defaults, and component-specific style options.
Developers choose this cheat sheet because it saves time—replacing multiple documentation tabs with one organized reference, clarifying React Native's unique styling behaviors (like flex differences from CSS), and providing practical examples in a clean, tabular format.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Aggregates all major styling properties for Flexbox, transforms, shadows, and key components into detailed tables, reducing the need to search scattered documentation.
Highlights differences between iOS and Android implementations, such as platform-specific properties for Text (e.g., textDecorationStyle on iOS) and View (e.g., elevation on Android).
Each property includes type information, default values, and concise behavior descriptions—like how flex differs from CSS—making it a quick lookup tool.
Dedicated sections for Image, ScrollView, Text, TextInput, and View with inherited properties clearly marked, streamlining the styling process for specific UI elements.
The cheat sheet is imported from official docs but lacks automatic updates; with React Native's frequent releases, it risks becoming inaccurate for newer versions.
It's a passive reference without live code editors or interactive examples, limiting its utility for experimentation or debugging complex layout issues.
Focuses exclusively on styling properties, omitting other React Native aspects like navigation, state management, or performance optimizations, which are crucial for full app development.
