Use globally

[graig12]

as opposite to on a particular screen. I am using react navigation lib
and i want this to be able to triggered irrespective of the screen the user is currently on

Sorry for the late reply. This is a good suggestion and definitely worth doing.

Technically I do not have the experience of doing it but I will take a look into some toast libraries and figure it out.

Any contribution is also welcome too.

There is an excellent library for this purpose:

• https://github.com/magicismight/react-native-root-siblings

And some of the components based on it:

• https://github.com/magicismight/react-native-root-toast
• https://github.com/magicismight/react-native-root-modal

put the component in app.js

Why will this not work?

[carsonwah]

Maybe he wants an adhoc way to show the popup, e.g. some specific screens want to show it.
I think this is a valid feature request, because it will be more convenient if we can call it anywhere in the app.

Is it not possible to put the component in the app.js add a listener for global state updates and fire notification off this?

I have a query. How can I show popup in my app's background state? Can anybody tell me about that?
