How to pass parameters in StyleSheet in React native with Typescript-CodePudding

I have just switched my Javascript react native project to a Typescript project, but when I changed it, I got a lot of errors on inserting functions in StyleSheet()

Previously i used to do it like this:

const Header = ({ someBoolean }) => (
    <View style={styles.conditionalStyle(someBoolean)}>
      <Text></Text>
    </View>
);

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
    conditionalStyle: (someBoolean) => ({
        marginTop: someBoolean ? 20 : 5
    })
});

But when i switched to typescript, it started throwing errors: Type '(absolute: any) => { height: number; width: number; display: string; flexDirection: string; borderBottomLeftRadius: number; borderBottomRightRadius: number; position: string; zIndex: number; }' is not assignable to type 'ViewStyle | TextStyle | ImageStyle'.ts(2322) Header.tsx(81, 3): The expected type comes from property 'containerMain' which is declared here on type 'NamedStyles<any> | NamedStyles<{ container: { height: number; width: number; display: "flex"; flexDirection: "row"; borderBottomLeftRadius: number; borderBottomRightRadius: number; }; ... 8 more ...; screen: (absolute: any) => { ...; }; }> | NamedStyles<...>'

Here is an example of what my code looks like:

const Header:FC<HeaderProps> = ({ someBoolean }) => (
    <View style={styles.conditionalStyle(someBoolean)}>
      <Text></Text>
    </View>
);

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
    conditionalStyle: (someBoolean) => ({ // ERROR
        marginTop: someBoolean ? 20 : 5
    })
});

Is there an alternative way to pass conditional styles/props?

CodePudding user response：

To do what you are stating you have to pass parameters to your StyleSheet and define it at the top of your component

So in your component do such...

Add parameters to your StyleSheet definition.

export const styling = (someBoolean:boolean) =>
  StyleSheet.create({
    conditionalStyle:{
        marginTop: someBoolean ? 20 : 5
    }
});

Import the Style Function (If from an external file).

import styling from ...

Define styles in your Component.

const Header:FC<HeaderProps> = ({ someBoolean }) => (

    const styles = styling(someBoolean);

    <View style={styles.conditionalStyle}>
      <Text></Text>
    </View>
);

And this way of sending parameters to the StyleSheet will allow you to programmatically update different style values through useState or Redux

So no way that I know of (you can create a wrapper to your stylesheet that does this or do something like that:

const Header:FC<HeaderProps> = ({ someBoolean }) => (
<View style={[styles.conditionalStyle, someBoolean && styles.error]}>
  <Text></Text>
</View>

);

const styles = StyleSheet.create({ conditionalStyle: (someBoolean) => ({ // ERROR marginTop: 20 }) error: { marginTop: 5, } });
