React Native splash screen provider

npm install @molecule/app-splash-screen-react-native

npm · Source on GitHub · Implements @molecule/app-splash-screen

How it works

@molecule/app-splash-screen-react-native is a provider bond on the app (browser) side: it implements the splash-screen core interface (@molecule/app-splash-screen) with a concrete vendor or library behind it.

Your code calls the core; you wire this provider once at startup. Swapping vendors later is one line in that wiring, not a rewrite.

import { setProvider, hide } from '@molecule/app-splash-screen'
import { provider } from '@molecule/app-splash-screen-react-native'

setProvider(provider)

// Later — once the root view has rendered / initial data + fonts are ready:
await hide()

Reference

React Native splash screen provider for molecule.dev.

Implements the SplashScreenProvider interface from @molecule/app-splash-screen using expo-splash-screen: keeps the native splash visible during startup and hides it when the app is ready.

Quick Start

import { setProvider, hide } from '@molecule/app-splash-screen'
import { provider } from '@molecule/app-splash-screen-react-native'

setProvider(provider)

// Later — once the root view has rendered / initial data + fonts are ready:
await hide()

Type

provider

Installation

npm install @molecule/app-splash-screen-react-native @molecule/app-i18n @molecule/app-logger @molecule/app-splash-screen expo-splash-screen

API

Interfaces

ReactNativeSplashScreenConfig

Configuration for the React Native splash screen provider.

interface ReactNativeSplashScreenConfig {
  /**
   * Whether to prevent auto-hide on app launch.
   * When true, the splash screen stays visible until explicitly hidden.
   * @default true
   */
  preventAutoHide?: boolean
}

Functions

createReactNativeSplashScreenProvider(config)

Creates a React Native splash screen provider backed by expo-splash-screen.

function createReactNativeSplashScreenProvider(
  config?: ReactNativeSplashScreenConfig,
): SplashScreenProvider
  • config — Optional provider configuration.

Returns: A SplashScreenProvider implementation for React Native.

Constants

provider

Default React Native splash screen provider.

const provider: SplashScreenProvider

Core Interface

Implements @molecule/app-splash-screen interface.

Bond Wiring

Setup function to register this provider with the core interface:

import { setProvider } from '@molecule/app-splash-screen'
import { provider } from '@molecule/app-splash-screen-react-native'

export function setupNativeSplashScreenReactNative(): void {
  setProvider(provider)
}

Injection Notes

Requirements

Peer dependencies:

  • @molecule/app-i18n ^1.0.1
  • @molecule/app-logger ^1.0.1
  • @molecule/app-splash-screen ^1.0.1
  • expo-splash-screen >=0.20.0

Runtime Dependencies

  • @molecule/app-i18n

  • @molecule/app-logger

  • @molecule/app-splash-screen

  • expo-splash-screen

  • Creating the default provider immediately arms prevent-auto-hide (config preventAutoHide defaults to true): the native splash stays up until the app explicitly calls hide(). If the app appears to hang on the splash forever, the missing hide() call is why. Use createReactNativeSplashScreenProvider({ preventAutoHide: false }) to keep the OS auto-hide behavior.

  • expo-splash-screen is loaded on demand — install with npx expo install expo-splash-screen.

  • show()/hide() OPTIONS (fade, duration, spinner) are ignored on this platform — getCapabilities() reports spinnerSupported: false, configurable: false. Style the splash via the Expo config plugin (app.json → expo-splash-screen), not at runtime.

  • show() cannot bring back an already-hidden splash; it only re-arms prevent-auto-hide for the current launch.
