defaultProps in React Native?

Question

Is it possible to use defaultProps in React Native? I’ve tried the following 2 ways of defining defaultProps and I get null when trying to access the defaultProp

Answer 1

I do it in ReactNative

import React, {
    Component
} from 'react';
import {
    View,
    Text
} from 'react-native';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

export default class foo extends Component {
    static propTypes = {
        name: PropTypes.array,
        prop2: PropTypes.string
    }
    static defaultProps = {
        array: [1, 2, 4],
        name: 'abc'
    }
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {};
    }
    render() {
        return (
            
                Default Prop array is: {this.props.array}
                Default Prop name is: {this.props.name}
            
        );
    }
}

And then you can use these props like this.props.prop1 and this.props.prop2.
