How to set Text to max-width: max-content in React Native
February 21, 2020
In regular CSS you can give an element the property max-width: max-content
, which makes the element (at most) as wide as the text inside of it.
There’s no direct equivalent in React Native, but instead you can use flexbox to emulate this behavior to make a Text
element only as wide as the text inside.
export default () => {
return (
<View
style={{
alignSelf: "flex-start"
}}
>
<Text>Hello, world!</Text>
</View>
)
}
