I’m developing a React Native app and need to implement custom buttons with specific styling and behavior. I’ve come across two main approaches: using the built-in Button component or the TouchableOpacity component.
I’ve experimented with both Button and TouchableOpacity, and while I find TouchableOpacity more flexible for customization, I’m not sure if it’s the best practice.
I looked at the React Native documentation, but I couldn’t find a clear comparison between these two approaches.
Button: Perfect for quick and simple setups, but it’s limited in terms of customization.
TouchableOpacity: Gives you more flexibility and control, so you can design buttons exactly how you want them.
If you’re aiming for a custom look and feel, TouchableOpacity is the way to go.
