Is there anyway to embed image in <Text> in react-native

Question

Someone may want to implement a richtext edit or richtext view. In html we can do it with inline image tag, but react-native Text can only nest Text in it.

Answer 1

Here's a workaround that'll preserve styles

<View style={{flexDirection:'row', flexWrap:'wrap'}}>
    <Image
        style={styles.img}
        source={{uri: imageLink}} />
    <Text>
        {"sweet, this works"}
    </Text>
</View>
