VistasFlexbox - React Native
i am new to react native and i am trying to make a chat app layout.
As you can see in screenshot that i have attached, i want text box to take as much space as the text in it. For example, if i send 'Hi', it should only be stretched as much space 'Hi' needs. If i send a long text, then it should stretch and take as much space as that text is. Like it happens in almost all texting apps.
The text box code is:
<TouchableOpacity>
<View style={styles.containerSent}>
<View style={{flex: 3}}>
<Text style={styles.message}>{item.message}</Text>
</View>
<View style={{flex: 1}}>
<Image
source={require('../assets/images/check.png')}
style={styles.image}
/>
<Text style={{textAlign: 'right', color: 'white'}}>
{msToTime(item.timestamp)}
</Text>
</View>
</View>
</TouchableOpacity>
Stylesheet
containerSent: {
flex: 1,
maxWidth: '70%',
// minWidth: '30%',
marginTop: 20,
paddingTop: 20,
paddingHorizontal: 10,
paddingBottom: 10,
borderWidth: 1,
backgroundColor: '#6F2232',
borderRadius: 20,
alignSelf: 'flex-end',
flexDirection: 'row',
justifyContent: 'space-between',
// justifyContent: 'flex-end',
},
message: {
color: 'white',
fontSize: 15,
fontWeight: 'bold',
textAlign: 'left',
alignSelf: 'stretch',
},
image: {
width: 15,
height: 15,
marginLeft: 20,
marginBottom: 5,
alignSelf: 'flex-end',
},

Set View style to flex: 0 so it‘s just taken as Maus h space as necessary.
<TouchableOpacity>
<View style={styles.containerSent}>
<View style={{ flex: 0 }}>
<Text style={styles.message}>{'q.a'}</Text>
</View>
<View style={{ flex: 0, paddingLeft: 10 }}>
<Text style={styles.message}>{'eeeee.message'}</Text>
</View>
</View>
</TouchableOpacity>
Take a look at my sample

How I have implemented this is that I removed flex: 3 and flex: 1 from both the elements so that they don't expand to take the max space, and I added flexShrink: 1 to the text, so that it always shrinks keeping the right element intact.
