Breaking History:

Current Version:

• 7.0.1 - Removed UIWebView

• 6.0.2 - Update to AndroidX. Make sure to enable it in your project's android/gradle.properties. See Getting Started Guide.

• 5.0.1 - Refactored the old postMessage implementation for communication from webview to native.

• 4.0.0 - Added cache (enabled by default).

• 3.0.0 - WKWebview: Add shared process pool so cookies and localStorage are shared across webviews in iOS (enabled by default).

• Maybe Swift rewrite

Usage

Import the WebView component from react-native-webview and use it like so:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview';

// ...
class MyWebComponent extends Component {
  render() {
    return <WebView source={{ uri: 'https://reactnative.dev/' }} />;
  }
}
