React Native WebView is a community-maintained WebView component for React Native. It is intended to be a replacement for the built-in WebView (which wasremoved from core).

Many thanks to these companies for providing us with time to work on open source.
Please note that maintainers spend a lot of free time working on this too so feel free to sponsor them,it really makes a difference.

Shout-out toJamon Holmgren fromInfinite Red for helping a lot with the repo when he had more available time.

Maintaining WebView is very complex because it is often used for many different use cases (rendering SVGs, PDFs, login flows, and much more). We also support many platforms and both architectures of react-native.

Since WebView was extracted from the React Native core, nearly 500 pull requests have been merged.
Considering that we have limited time, issues will mostly serve as a discussion place for the community, whilewe will prioritize reviewing and merging pull requests.

This project is compatible withiOS,Android,Windows andmacOS.
This project supports boththe old (paper)and the new architecture (fabric).
This project is compatible withexpo.

Read ourGetting Started Guide. If any step seems unclear, please create a pull request.

This project followssemantic versioning. We do not hesitate to release breaking changes but they will be in a major version.

Import theWebView component fromreact-native-webview and use it like so:

importReact,{Component}from'react';import{StyleSheet,Text,View}from'react-native';import{WebView}from'react-native-webview';// ...constMyWebComponent=()=>{return<WebViewsource={{uri:'https://reactnative.dev/'}}style={{flex:1}}/>;}

• If you're gettingInvariant Violation: Native component for "RNCWebView does not exist" it likely means you forgot to runreact-native link or there was some error with the linking process
• If you encounter a build error during the task:app:mergeDexRelease, you need to enable multidex support inandroid/app/build.gradle as discussed inthis issue
