Enable overflow in native-base cards - css

Question

I have a component in a website that looks like this:
Regular card
It's basically a div with an image inside it, but the image has a margin-top of -50 so that it overflows off the card.
I would like to accomplish the same thing with react-native and native-base. Here is the relevant code:
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Card>
<CardItem style={{ marginTop: -50, justifyContent: 'center' }}>
<Image style={styles.image} source={{ uri: this.state.band.imageComponent.link }} />
</CardItem>
</Card>
</View>
)
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
marginTop: 150
},
image: {
width: 150,
height: 150,
)
And the result looks like this:
React-native card
As you can see, the picture is cutoff at the top. How can I keep the image overflow and have it overlay the card like in my first image?

Answer 1

Overflow is not supported in Android. There are lots of open issues for that. Check some of them here and here.
Here's an npm package that apparently solves that issue that you could try.
Otherwise you can use a workaround for that I found on this medium post.
According to your image you have to wrap your image and the container inside another View as siblings and then position them absolutely.
Here's the code that I tweaked a little bit from that post. You can replace the View according to your Card and CardItem styles.
<View style={styles.container}>
<View style={styles.cardSection1}>
<Image style={styles.image} source={{ uri: 'https://imgplaceholder.com/420x320/ff7f7f/333333/fa-image' }} />
</View>
<View style={styles.cardSection2}>
</View>
</View>
const styles = {
container: {
flex: 1,
backgroundColor: 'grey',
alignItems: 'center'
},
image: {
width: 150,
height: 150,
},
cardSection1: {
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
position: 'absolute',
width: 100,
height: 100,
borderRadius: 50 / 2,
zIndex: 2,
shadowColor: '#000',
shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 0 },
shadowOpacity: 0.2,
shadowRadius: 10,
elevation: 7,
},
cardSection2: {
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
position: 'absolute',
top: 25,
width: 300,
height: 150,
borderRadius: 8,
backgroundColor: 'white',
zIndex: 1,
shadowColor: '#000',
shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 0 },
shadowOpacity: 0.2,
shadowRadius: 10,
elevation: 5,
}
}
This is the output that I got.

//import liraries
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View, Text, StyleSheet,TextInput,Dimensions,Image } from 'react-native';
import ButtonRoundBorder from '../components/ButtonRoundBorder';
const window = Dimensions.get('window')
// create a component
class Login extends Component {
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Image style={{width:window.width,height:window.height,position:'absolute'}} source={require('../images/bg2.jpeg')}/>
<View style={styles.overlayImageStyle} >
<Image style={{flex:1,borderRadius:80}} resizeMode={'contain'} source={require('../images/profile.jpg')} />
</View>
<View style={styles.cardStyle}>
<View style={styles.insideCard}>
<Text style={{fontWeight:'bold',fontSize:20,alignSelf:'center'}}>Login</Text>
<TextInput style={[styles.textInputStyle,{marginTop:30}]} underlineColorAndroid='#000000' placeholder='Enter Email' />
<TextInput style={[styles.textInputStyle,{marginTop:20}]} underlineColorAndroid='#000000' placeholder='Enter Password' />
<ButtonRoundBorder style={{marginTop:40}} title='Login'/>
</View>
</View>
</View>
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container:{
flex: 1,
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundColor: 'transparent',
},
overlayImageStyle:{
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
position: 'absolute',
width: 100,
height: 100,
borderRadius: 100/2,
backgroundColor: 'white',
top:50,
shadowColor: '#000',
// position: 'absolute',row
// shadowOpacity: 0.2,
// shadowRadius: 10,
elevation: 7,
},
cardStyle:{
// alignItems: 'center',
// justifyContent: 'center',
// position: 'absolute',
top: 80,
width: window.width - 40,
height: window.height - 200,
borderRadius: 8,
backgroundColor: 'white',
// backgroundColor: '#7E57C2',
shadowColor: '#000',
elevation: 5,
},
insideCard:{
top: 80,
alignContent: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
flexDirection:'column',
},
textInputStyle:{
width:300,
height:40,
alignSelf:'center',
}
});
//make this component available to the app
export default Login;
