React Native provides a .measure(...) method which takes a callback and calls it with the offsets and width/height of a component:
myComponent.measure( (fx, fy, width, height, px, py) => {
console.log('Component width is: ' + width)
console.log('Component height is: ' + height)
console.log('X offset to frame: ' + fx)
console.log('Y offset to frame: ' + fy)
console.log('X offset to page: ' + px)
console.log('Y offset to page: ' + py)
})
The following calculates the layout of a custom component after it is rendered:
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
render() {
return <View ref={view => { this.myComponent = view; }} />
}
componentDidMount() {
// Print component dimensions to console
this.myComponent.measure( (fx, fy, width, height, px, py) => {
console.log('Component width is: ' + width)
console.log('Component height is: ' + height)
console.log('X offset to frame: ' + fx)
console.log('Y offset to frame: ' + fy)
console.log('X offset to page: ' + px)
console.log('Y offset to page: ' + py)
})
}
}
Note that sometimes the component does not finish rendering before componentDidMount() is called. If you are getting zeros as a result from measure(...), then wrapping it in a setTimeout should solve the problem, i.e.:
setTimeout( myComponent.measure(...), 0 )
