How to get the platform with React Native?

Spread the love

To get the platform the app is running on with React Native, we use the Platform.OS property.

For instance, we write

import { Platform, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  height: Platform.OS === 'ios' ? 200 : 100
});

to use the Platform.OS property to check if the platform is 'ios‘ when setting the height style.
