Dependencies

Unistyles dependencies

Unistyles 3.0 minimizes dependencies to keep your app as lightweight as possible. In the latest version, we’ve opted to include only the essential dependencies that are shaping the future of the React Native ecosystem.

Nitro Modules

Developed by: Marc Rousavy

Nitro modules help Unistyles speed up development time by offering remarkable solutions:

Type-safe interfaces across multiple languages (TypeScript, C++, Swift, and Kotlin)
Generating bindings from a single source of truth (specification files)
A thin layer that accelerates calls from JavaScript to C++, Swift, or Kotlin
The ability to convert repository from Objective-C to Swift
Support for calling Swift code directly, without routing it through Objective-C++

We highly encourage you to give Nitro a star ⭐ or support Marc through sponsorship.

React Native Edge to Edge (optional since v3.1.0)

Developed by: Mathieu Acthernoene

React Native Edge to Edge is a library aimed at unifying the handling of edge-to-edge layouts on Android.

Since v3.1.0, react-native-edge-to-edge is optional as a direct dependency. Unistyles enables edge-to-edge layout automatically on Android if react-native-edge-to-edge is not installed.

However, we strongly recommend enabling edgeToEdgeEnabled in your gradle.properties:

edgeToEdgeEnabled=true

This property does more than just enabling edge-to-edge layout — it enforces statusBarTranslucent / navigationBarTranslucent on modals, disables backgroundColor / translucent on StatusBar, and enables additional fixes in React Native core. Expo SDK 54+ enables this automatically.

You can still install react-native-edge-to-edge alongside this property if you use libraries that detect it for ecosystem-wide edge-to-edge detection (e.g. react-native-bootsplash, react-native-permissions).

If you use any of Mathieu’s libraries, we encourage you to give them a star ⭐ and support him through sponsorship.
