Question 1

How to implement dark mode with react-native-theme?

Accepted Answer

Define separate themes for light and dark modes using `theme.add()` with unique names, then switch between them using `theme.active('dark')` in response to user actions. Ensure `setRoot` is called on a parent component for automatic updates.

Question 2

react-native-theme vs styled-components for theming?

Accepted Answer

react-native-theme is lighter and focuses on central theme management with platform styles, while styled-components offers more flexibility with CSS-in-JS and component-level theming. Choose react-native-theme for simplicity and built-in platform support.

Question 3

Why are my theme changes not updating components?

Accepted Answer

This often happens if `theme.setRoot()` isn't set on a parent component. Check that you've called it in `componentWillMount` or a similar lifecycle method to enable re-renders.

Question 4

Can I use react-native-theme with functional components and hooks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you need to manually handle the root setting, such as using `useEffect` to call `theme.setRoot`, which isn't covered in the README and requires custom implementation.

Question 5

How to reset all themes in react-native-theme?

Accepted Answer

Use the `theme.reset()` method to clear all theme data, which is useful for testing or resetting app state, as mentioned in the API section.
