Somewhat maintained fork of https://github.com/mfrachet/rn-native-portals

This library makes possible the teleportation ( or reparenting like in https://github.com/Paol-imi/react-reparenting ) of components without losing their internal state. Common use case - seamlessly extracting a custom video player nested deeply in components tree to the top to display it in fullscreen WITHOUT LOSING ITS INTERNAL STATE LIKE BUFFERING, POSITION, ETC

Usage

Installation

$ yarn add lightrow/rn-native-portals

or

$ npm install lightrow/rn-native-portals

This will install this library directly from GitHub

In your code

Somewhere high in your component tree, add a PortalDestination (a portal destination):

import {  PortalDestination } from "rn-native-portals";

export default function App() {
	return (
		<View>
			<StatusBar style="dark" />
			<AppNavigator />
			<PortalDestination name="fullscreenVideo" />
		</View>
    	);
}

Somewhere else in the tree, add a PortalOrigin (a portal origin):

import { PortalOrigin } from 'rn-native-portals';

export default function VideoPlayerSizeHandler() {
	const [isPortalOpen, openPortal] = useState(false);
	...
	return (
		<View style={[...]}>
			<StatusBar hidden={isPortalOpen} />
			<PortalOrigin destination={isPortalOpen ? 'fullscreenVideo' : null}>
				<Animated.View style={[...]}>{children}</Animated.View>
			</PortalOrigin>
		</View>
    	);
}

When the isPortalOpen state will change to something truthy, the Animated.View will be moved inside the PortalDestination component set previously.

If the value of the destination prop is set to null, the Animated.View will return back to original place.
