Material3 / Material component themes

[okwasniewski]

Why it is needed?

Hey!

Great work on the library!

I'm working on react-native-bottom-tabs which require you to specify Material3 or MaterialComponents theme in styles.xml.

Would be great to have Theme.EdgeToEdge.MaterialComponents and Theme.EdgeToEdge.Material3 so that users can use both libraries without issues.

Thanks!

@okwasniewski Edge-to-edge versions of material2 / material3 are available in 1.1.0, sorry for the delay!

The good news is that given the fact that the react-native-bottom-tabs expo plugin is only setting the AppTheme parent theme, there is no need to use it when using the react-native-edge-to-edge one 🔥:

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": [
      [
        "react-native-edge-to-edge",
        { "android": { "parentTheme": "Material3" } }
      ]
    ]
  }
}

Thank you @zoontek!

I've updated the docs to instruct users to use only one plugin if rn-edge-to-edge is used 🚀 callstack/react-native-bottom-tabs#136
