React Native SVG demo

A simple example app that shows how you can use SVG files in React Native.

The SVG images used in this app can be found from the logos folder.

How does it work?

The .svg files can be imported inside a React component:

import Logo from "./logo.svg";

The images can then be used as a component:

<Logo width={120} height={40} />
