React Native Bootsplash
react-native-bootsplash is a cross-platform mobile splash screen library and startup orchestrator. It provides a system for managing native launch screens and controlling the timing and visibility of the boot screen during application initialization.
The project includes a native asset generation tool that uses a command line interface to create and configure launch image assets for different mobile platforms. It enables the creation of animation-integrated launch screens, allowing for custom exit animations and transitions through integration with external animation libraries.
The library covers the orchestration of app startup by managing native-layer visibility, querying the status of the launch screen, and automating the generation of platform-compliant image resolutions.
Features
- App Startup Orchestration - Controls exactly when the initial launch screen disappears based on when the application is fully initialized.
- Asset Resource Generators - Provides a utility to automatically generate platform-specific icons and splash screens from source images.
- Asset Generation CLIs - Ships a command line interface tool for batch producing visual image assets and updating platform configuration files.
- Startup Splash Screens - Implements a mechanism for controlling the visibility and fade-out timing of the native splash screen during initialization.
- Native Modules & Bridges - Implements a native module bridge to expose visibility controls to JavaScript for programmatic control of the boot screen.
- Native Manifest Configurations - Modifies Android XML and iOS Plist files to ensure the native OS displays the splash image before the engine starts.
- Cross-Platform Splash Screens - Provides a consistent native launch screen implementation across multiple mobile platforms using a single codebase.
- Mobile App Launch Screens - Displays a branded image while the application loads to prevent users from seeing a blank screen.
- Native View Hierarchy Management - Handles the direct manipulation of the native view hierarchy to transition between the static launch image and the application root.
- Splash Screen Management - Provides configuration and control tools for showing, hiding, and fading out the native launch image.
- Animation-Integrated Transitions - Creates custom exit animations for startup screens through integration with external animation libraries.
- React Native Libraries - Acts as a library that automates the creation and configuration of image assets across different mobile resolutions.
- Imperative Animation APIs - Provides an imperative API to trigger native transitions and query splash screen visibility without re-renders.
- Exit Animations - Supports the creation of custom exit animations for launch screen elements through integration with external animation libraries.
- Visibility State Querying - Provides a mechanism to query the current visibility state of the native launch screen to determine if it remains active.
- Transition Loading Screens - Implements smooth visual transitions and masking views to improve the perceived loading speed during the startup sequence.
