Complete usage example that works on iOS and Android: ```javascript import React, { Component } from "react"; import { View, Image, Text, StyleSheet } from "react-native"; import { BlurView } from "@react-native-community/blur"; export default function Menu() { return ( Hi, I am some blurred text {/* in terms of positioning and zIndex-ing everything before the BlurView will be blurred */} I'm the non blurred text because I got rendered on top of the BlurView ) } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { justifyContent: "center", alignItems: "center" }, absolute: { position: "absolute", top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0 } }); ``` In this example, the `Image` component will be blurred, because the `BlurView` in positioned on top. But the `Text` will stay unblurred. If the accessibility setting [`Reduce Transparency`](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/display-settings-iph3e2e1fb0/ios) is enabled the `BlurView` will use `reducedTransparencyFallbackColor` as it's background color rather than blurring. If no `reducedTransparencyFallbackColor` is provided, the`BlurView`will use the default fallback color (white, black, or grey depending on `blurType`) ### VibrancyView Uses the same properties as `BlurView` (`blurType`, `blurAmount`, and `reducedTransparencyFallbackColor`). The vibrancy effect lets the content underneath a blurred view show through more vibrantly `VibrancyView is only supported on iOS. Also note that the VibrancyView must contain nested views` ```javascript import { VibrancyView } from "@react-native-community/blur"; export default function Menu() { return ( Hi, I am some vibrant text. ) } ``` ### Example React Native App This project includes an example React Native app, which was used to make the GIF in this README. You can run the apps by following these steps: Clone the repository ``` git clone https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-blur.git ``` Install dependencies ``` yarn ``` #### Run the app ``` yarn example android/ios ``` ### Questions?
