how to programmatically take a screenshot in react-native

Question

How can I take a screenshot in ReactNative. I need a screenshot and put it in Image component. How could I do?

Answer 1

There is a library to do just that: React Native View Shot

import RNViewShot from "react-native-view-shot";

RNViewShot.takeSnapshot(viewRef, {
  format: "jpeg",
  quality: 0.8
})
.then(
  uri => console.log("Image saved to", uri),
  error => console.error("Oops, snapshot failed", error)
);
