react-native-elements Button backgroundColor not working

Question

I am new to React Native. In my simple test app, I want to try out using react-native-elements button

However, I can't get my button background color to show.

I followed the documentation and tried adding a button like this:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { Button } from 'react-native-elements';

export default class loginForm extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View>
        <Button
            backgroundColor={'red'}
            title='Login' 
            />
      </View>
    )
  }
}

And in App.js, I import it like so:

import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View, TouchableHighlight, TextInput } from 'react-native';
import { createStackNavigator, createBottomTabNavigator, createAppContainer } from 'react-navigation';
import loginForm from './app/src/components/loginForm.js'

const TestStack = createStackNavigator(
  {
    Login: {screen: loginForm}
  }
)

const AppContainer = createAppContainer(TestStack);

export default class App extends React.Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <AppContainer/>
    );
  }
}

What am I doing wrong?

Use the prop below to make the background red in react-native-elements.

buttonStyle={{backgroundColor: 'red'}}

You should edit the styling of a button in react-native-elements using the prop buttonStyle .

Here is the working code. The button is red in here.

export default class App extends React.Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <View>
        <Button
            title='Login' 
            buttonStyle={{
              backgroundColor:'red'
            }}
            />
      </View>
    );
  }
}
