Installation

React Native Skia brings the Skia Graphics Library to React Native. Skia serves as the graphics engine for Google Chrome and Chrome OS, Android, Flutter, Mozilla Firefox, Firefox OS, and many other products.

sh
yarn add @shopify/react-native-skia

sh
yarn add @shopify/react-native-skia

Or using npm:

sh
npm install @shopify/react-native-skia

sh
npm install @shopify/react-native-skia

iOS

Run pod install on the ios/ directory.

Android

Version compatibility: react-native@>=0.66 is required.

Currently, you will need Android NDK to be installed. If you have Android Studio installed, make sure $ANDROID_NDK is available. ANDROID_NDK=/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle for instance.

If the NDK is not installed, you can install it via Android Studio by going to the menu File > Project Structure

And then the SDK Location section. It will show you the NDK path, or the option to download it if you don't have it installed.

Proguard

If you're using Proguard, make sure to add the following rule:

-keep class com.shopify.reactnative.skia.** { *; }

-keep class com.shopify.reactnative.skia.** { *; }

Playground

We have an example project you can play with here.

sh
yarn
cd package && yarn && cd ..
cd example && yarn && yarn start

sh
yarn
cd package && yarn && cd ..
cd example && yarn && yarn start

To run the example project on iOS, you will need to run pod install, and on Android, you will also need Android NDK to be installed (see here).
