render-react-native-to-image
Take a React Native component tree, and render it into an SVG or PNG image.
(based on jest-snapshots-svg by @orta over at Artsy)
What is this for?
Our goal with this is to function as a more human-viewable snapshot, a companion to jest json snapshots. Commit both to your repository, and the machine can diff the json to show if something changed, while you can look at the generated images to see what changed and how.
How ready is it?
Very alpha.
If it proves useful at Khan Academy, I might turn it into something much more streamlined.
How can I use it?
import * as React from "react"
import { Text } from "react-native"
import * as renderer from "react-test-renderer"
import {renderToSVGString, renderToCanvas} from "render-react-native-to-image"
describe("Fixtures", () => {
it("does some simple JSX", () => {
const component = renderer.create(<Text>Hello</Text>).toJSON()
expect(component).toMatchSnapshot()
renderToCanvas('./example.png', component)
fs.writeFileSync('./example.svg', renderToSVGString(component))
})
