1. Open your react native application folder in Command Prompt / Terminal and execute this command like i did in below screenshot. Here is the command: npm i react-native-image-zoom-viewer --save
Screenshot of CMD after installing this library :
2. Import StyleSheet, View and Modal component in your project.
|
1 2 3 |
import React, { Component } from 'react'; import { StyleSheet, View, Modal } from 'react-native'; |
3. Import ImageViewer component from react-native-image-zoom-viewer library.

import ImageViewer from 'react-native-image-zoom-viewer'; |
4. Create constructor() in your project and make a state named as ModalVisibleStatus and set its default value as True. This state is used to hide and show the Modal component.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
constructor(props) { super(props); this.state = { ModalVisibleStatus: true }; } |
5. Create a function named as ShowModalFunction(), this function would call on back button press while the Modal is opened and used to hide the Modal.
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
ShowModalFunction(visible) { this.setState({ModalVisibleStatus: false}); } |

How i could use it to load local images?
Read our this tutorial Jonathan https://reactnativecode.com/select-pick-image-capture-camera-gallery-react-native/ this would help you.
@admin, the tutorial you referenced above has this piece of code:
// You can also display the image using data:
// let source = { uri: ‘data:image/jpeg;base64,’ + response.data };
My question (which might be Jonathan’s question too) is: can we use this pattern of embedding the base64 image data in the imageUrls property of ImageViewer?
