createStyleSheet

createStyleSheet

createStyleSheet is interchangeable with StyleSheet.create. You can use objects, and it will function identically to its React Native counterpart.

const stylesheet = createStyleSheet({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
},
})

The difference is that you can now use breakpoints and media queries:

const stylesheet = createStyleSheet({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
flexDirection: {
xs: 'row',
sm: 'column',
':w[800]': 'row'
}
},
})

createStyleSheet also accepts a function, to which the library will inject your theme:

const stylesheet = createStyleSheet(theme => ({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
flexDirection: {
xs: 'row',
sm: 'column',
':w[800]': 'row'
},
backgroundColor: theme.colors.background
},
}))

Importantly, you’ll receive the same TypeScript hints as with StyleSheet.create!
