Why react-native-form-select-picker?

The reason why I started this project is because react native default Picker becomes messed up when used on iOS devices and I wanted somthing that works and renders the same on both iOS and Android.

Look and feel

Here is the rendered sample of this package on Android and iOS

Installation

To install this package you will have to run the command below using npm

npm install --save react-native-form-select-picker

Usage

This module has been made to conform to the basic react native Picker in order to easily change import without having to change much on your code-base. We are developer friendly! :D

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import SelectPicker from 'react-native-form-select-picker'; // Import the package
//...
const options = ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"];
const YourComponent = ({ /* your props */ }) => {
	const [selected, setSelected] = useState();
	return (
		//...

		<SelectPicker
			onValueChange={(value) => {
				// Do anything you want with the value. 
				// For example, save in state.
				setSelected(value);
			}}
			selected={selected}
			>
			
			{Object.values(options).map((val, index) => (
				<SelectPicker.Item label={val} value={val} key={index} />
			))}

		</SelectPicker>

		//...
	)
}
