react-native: animate height of Text component?












0















So I have a Text component, with a numberOfLines prop of 5. Whenever the number of lines of that component exceeds 5, it ends with an ellipse. Is there any way for me to animate the height of this Text component to show the rest of the lines that were automatically cut off?



ex.

          To show the rest of the lines you can toggle the number of lines attribute value and to smoothly animate the height you could apply a css transition to the component.



          <Text class="text-animate" numberOfLines={`${!this.state.buttonClicked ? '5' : ''}`}>

          and



          .text-animate {
          transition: all .3s ease-in;
          -webkit-transition: all .3s ease-in;
          }


          Note this depends on how react-native applies the given class within the component and and is subject to <Text/> API documentation.
