Guidelines

  • 📱 All children of Pressables are placed in a single view object, which makes recycling the views expensive. Consider keeping your Pressable simple.
  • 📱 Do not nest Layouts within Pressable. This will result in unintended behavior
  • Do not nest other Action components (Button, Link) within Pressable. This will result in unexpected behavior.
    • 📱 A child of Pressable with onPress will take precedence and not call Pressable's onPress
    • 🖥 Both the child of Pressable with onPress and Pressable's onPress will activate if the child is pressed.
✅ Do 🛑 Don't
📱 Keep Pressable shallow. Complex hierarchies have performance penalties Wrap Button or Link
Wrap small UI elements in Pressable to perform actions that don’t fit Button or Link. Wrap Layout components
