Usage example

First of all, if you don't want to read it, you can just clone the repo and go into examples/basic folder to try out working example.

Blur View

To use blur view, you need to require BlurView to your module and insert <BlurView> tag inside render function as it's done below:

const { BlurView } = require('react-native-blur');

const Menu = React.createClass({
  render() {
    return (
      <Image source={{uri}} style={styles.menu}>
        <BlurView blurType="light" style={styles.blur}>
          <Text>Hi, I am a tiny menu item</Text>
        </BlurView>
      </Image>
    );
  }
});

In this example, Image component will be blurred, a BlurView content will stay untouched.

Vibrancy View

The vibrancy effect lets the content underneath a blurred view show through more vibrantly

const { VibrancyView } = require('react-native-blur');

const Menu = React.createClass({
  render() {
    return (
      <Image source={{uri}} style={styles.menu}>
        <VibrancyView blurType="light" style={styles.blur}>
          <Text>Hi, I am a tiny menu item</Text>
        </VibrancyView>
      </Image>
    );
  }
});
