Customisation

The STYLES class allows you to customize the appearance of the LMFeedCreatePollScreen. You can set the header styles in pollStlye in STYLES.

Usage Example

Step 1: Create Custom Screen and Wrapper

• In your app, create a CreatePollScreenWrapper file which will wrap the CreatePollScreen within the CreatePollContextProvider so that the callbacks becomes accessible inside of the CreatePollScreen.
• Create createPollStyle for customisation and call the setCreatePollStyles to set the customisation.

CreatePollScreen

import {
  LMFeedCreatePollScreen,
  useCreatePollContext,
  STYLES,
} from "@likeminds.community/feed-rn-core";
import React from "react";

const CreatePollScreen = () => {
  const { showDatePicker, addNewOption, removeAnOption, postPoll } =
    useCreatePollContext();

  // customised showDatePicker callback
  const onPollExpiryTimeClicked = () => {
    console.log("do something before onPollExpiryTimeClicked");
    showDatePicker();
    console.log("do something after onPollExpiryTimeClicked");
  };

  // customised addNewOption callback
  const onAddOptionClicked = () => {
    console.log("do something before onAddOptionClicked");
    addNewOption();
    console.log("do something after onAddOptionClicked");
  };

  const createPollStyle = {
    pollQuestionsStyle: {
      fontSize: 16,
      color: "black",
      borderBottomWidth: 1,
      borderBottomColor: "gray",
      marginBottom: 10,
    },
    pollOptionsStyle: {
      fontSize: 16,
      color: "black",
      borderBottomWidth: 1,
      borderBottomColor: "gray",
      marginBottom: 10,
    },
    pollExpiryTimeStyle: {
      fontSize: 16,
      color: "black",
      marginBottom: 10,
    },
    pollAdvancedOptionTextStyle: {
      fontSize: 16,
      color: "blue",
      marginBottom: 10,
    },
    pollAdvanceOptionsSwitchThumbColor: "green",
    pollAdvanceOptionsSwitchTrackColor: "lightgreen",
  };

  // create poll screen customisation
  if (createPollStyle) {
    STYLES.setCreatePollStyles(createPollStyle);
  }

  return (
    <LMFeedCreatePollScreen
      onPollExpiryTimeClicked={onPollExpiryTimeClicked}
      onAddOptionClicked={onAddOptionClicked}
    />
  );
};

export default CreatePollScreen;

CreatePollScreenWrapper

import {
  LMFeedCreatePollScreen,
  CreatePollContextProvider,
} from "@likeminds.community/feed-rn-core";
import CreatePollScreen from "<<path_to_CreatePollScreen.tsx>>";

const CreatePollScreenWrapper = ({ navigation, route }) => {
  return (
    <CreatePollContextProvider navigation={navigation} route={route}>
      <CreatePollScreen />
    </CreatePollContextProvider>
  );
};

export default CreatePollScreenWrapper;

Step 2: Add the Custom Screen in App.tsx

• In your App.tsx, create a Stack.Navigatorin the NavigationContainer wrapped by LMOverlayProvider.
• Add CreatePollScreenWrapper as a Stack screen in your NavigationContainer.

import { LMOverlayProvider, STYLES } from "@likeminds.community/feed-rn-core";
import { CREATE_POLL_SCREEN } from "@likeminds.community/feed-rn-core/constants/screenNames";
import CreatePollScreenWrapper from "<<path_to_CreatePollScreenWrapper.tsx>>";
import { NavigationContainer } from "@react-navigation/native";
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from "@react-navigation/native-stack";

export const App = () => {
  const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();

  return (
    <LMOverlayProvider
      myClient={myClient} // pass in the LMFeedClient created
      apiKey={apiKey} // pass in the API Key generated
      userName={userName} // pass in the logged-in user's name
      userUniqueId={userUniqueID} // pass in the logged-in user's uuid
    >
      <NavigationContainer ref={navigationRef} independent={true}>
        <Stack.Navigator screenOptions={{ headerShown: false }}>
          <Stack.Screen
            name={CREATE_POLL_SCREEN}
            component={CreatePollScreenWrapper}
          />
        </Stack.Navigator>
      </NavigationContainer>
    </LMOverlayProvider>
  );
};
