Nativebase: Can NativeBase work without expo?

[changtimwu]

Well, this is not a bug reporting. All issue posting specs are not applicable here.

NativeBase itself doesn't depend on expo. However, to use NativeBase, all examples are starting with a small clip of loading expo fonts. I am not sure if it is mandatory. Could you give an example illustrating how to load font without Expo.Font.loadAsync? Thank you.

Thats a bad way of handling that question. I had the same one.

@salamancajr Please check the examples here. The master branch has no dependency on Expo.

Also from the very first page in the official docs.
Always a good idea to read the docs 💯

Exact same question here, I'm having problems using my App without Expo, partially because I don't know how to load the fonts without Expo.Font.loadAsync. +1

We are using NativeBase without expo and it's working perfectly. To use any custom font you need to tell react-native to link it to your project. Check this tutorial for more information https://medium.com/react-native-training/react-native-custom-fonts-ccc9aacf9e5e

Hi @tux-tn, you are right. This is _"working"_. I've downloaded theionicons.ttf from ionicons.com and linking etc. works just fine. Yet my Icons have changed (without me changing their name) and I can't use the names on ionicons.com to correct that, as there are errors that the referenced Icon does not exist.

I've been at that place before, how do I fix that problem ?

Edit: Not sure if I've tested v1 and v2 of the Ionicons, yet it didn't work with the solution I had in place. Trying v1 and v2 now.

@njoye if you want to include a vector icon i suggest you to take a look at https://github.com/oblador/react-native-vector-icons there is many vector icons bundled including Ionicons and Font Awesome 5
