pretext-native

React Native port of pretext — measure text height and line breaks before rendering.

한국어 · Documentation

The Problem

In React Native, you can't know a text component's height until after it renders. The common workarounds are:

  • onLayout / onTextLayout — fires after render, causing layout jumps
  • Hidden render pass — renders offscreen first just to measure, wasting a frame
  • Hardcoded estimates — breaks with dynamic content, different fonts, or locales

This makes FlatList's getItemLayout impossible to implement correctly and causes visible UI flicker.

The Solution

pretext-native talks directly to each platform's native text engine (iOS CoreText, Android StaticLayout) via JSI — no rendering required. A two-tier LRU cache delivers 95%+ hit rate and 2–5M ops/s on warm lookups.

Traditional (onLayout):
Render (height unknown) → onLayout fires → Re-render with correct height
= 2 render passes, visible layout jump
pretext-native:
Measure → Render (height known)
= 1 render pass, no jump

Fully compatible with React Native's New Architecture (Fabric + TurboModule).

Quick Start

yarn add pretext-native
# iOS onlycd ios && pod install
import{useTextLayout}from'pretext-native'const{ height, lineCount, isTruncated }=useTextLayout({
text,width: 320,fontSize: 15,lineHeight: 22,maxLines: 3,})

Example App

The example app includes 6 demo screens: basic measurement, dynamic width, speed benchmark, FlatList integration, chat bubbles, and "Show More" truncation.

cd example && yarn install
cd ios && bundle install && bundle exec pod install &&cd ..
yarn ios # or yarn android

Limitations

  • Measures single-style text blocks only (no mixed inline styles or inline images)
  • JS fallback is heuristic-based, not pixel-perfect — use native modules for production accuracy
  • API is at v0.0.2 — core APIs are stable, secondary APIs may evolve before v1.0

Platforms

  • iOS 13+
  • Android API 21+
  • React Native 0.71+ (New Architecture & Legacy Bridge)

Example App
The example app includes 6 demo screens: basic measurement, dynamic width, speed benchmark, FlatList integration, chat bubbles, and "Show More" truncation.
cd example && yarn install
cd ios && bundle install && bundle exec pod install &&cd ..
yarn ios # or yarn android
Limitations
  • Measures single-style text blocks only (no mixed inline styles or inline images)
  • JS fallback is heuristic-based, not pixel-perfect — use native modules for production accuracy
  • API is at v0.0.2 — core APIs are stable, secondary APIs may evolve before v1.0
Full details →
Platforms
  • iOS 13+
  • Android API 21+
  • React Native 0.71+ (New Architecture & Legacy Bridge)

pretext-native
React Native port of pretext — measure text height and line breaks before rendering.
한국어 · Documentation
The Problem
In React Native, you can't know a text component's height until after it renders. The common workarounds are:
  • onLayout / onTextLayout — fires after render, causing layout jumps
  • Hidden render pass — renders offscreen first just to measure, wasting a frame
  • Hardcoded estimates — breaks with dynamic content, different fonts, or locales
This makes FlatList's getItemLayout impossible to implement correctly and causes visible UI flicker.
The Solution
pretext-native talks directly to each platform's native text engine (iOS CoreText, Android StaticLayout) via JSI — no rendering required. A two-tier LRU cache delivers 95%+ hit rate and 2–5M ops/s on warm lookups.
Traditional (onLayout):
Render (height unknown) → onLayout fires → Re-render with correct height
= 2 render passes, visible layout jump
pretext-native:
Measure → Render (height known)
= 1 render pass, no jump

Fully compatible with React Native's New Architecture (Fabric + TurboModule).
Quick Start
yarn add pretext-native
# iOS onlycd ios && pod install
import{useTextLayout}from'pretext-native'const{ height, lineCount, isTruncated }=useTextLayout({
text,width: 320,fontSize: 15,lineHeight: 22,maxLines: 3,})
