Pressable

The Pressable is a wrapper component used to make other components responsive to the user’s touch. Useful for creating custom buttons or custom touchable containers. You can use it to Trigger Actions.

Style properties allow you to customize the look and feel of the component. Combinations of styles applied to components can be saved as Stylesheets to easily reuse styles throughout your app. Styles can also be set dynamically using Variables. To learn more about all the different styling properties and how they work, take a look at Intro to Styling.
