How to make Text Clickable in React Native

Sometimes, you may want to make a text clickable in order to perform an action when it is clicked. This can be useful for creating interactive and user-friendly apps. In this blog post, let’s learn how to make the Text clickable in react native.

To make text clickable, you can wrap it in either a Pressable component or a TouchableOpacity component. Then you just need to assign onPress to define what happens after the click.

See the code snippet given below.

<Pressable onPress={() => Alert.alert('The text is clicked!')}>
        <Text>This is clickable text</Text>
      </Pressable>

Following is the output.

Following is the complete code.

import React from 'react';
import {View, Text, Alert, Pressable, StyleSheet} from 'react-native';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Pressable onPress={() => Alert.alert('The text is clicked!')}>
        <Text>This is clickable text</Text>
      </Pressable>
    </View>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
});

export default App;

That’s how you make text clickable in react native.
