How to display a hyperlink in a React Native app?

To display a hyperlink in a React Native app, we can use the Text component.

For instance, we write

import { Linking } from "react-native";
//...

export default () => {
  //...

  return (
    <Text
      style={{ color: "blue" }}
      onPress={() => Linking.openURL("http://example.com")}
    >
      Example
    </Text>
  );
};

to add a Text component.

We set its onPress prop to a function that calls Linking.openURL to open the URL we want to go to in a web view.

And we set the color to 'blue' to make it look like a link.
