File Size Small image No image
Best For Consistent design Dynamic colors

🎯 Recommended Usage

Use StarImageIcon when:

  • You need pixel-perfect accuracy
  • Design consistency is critical
  • You're matching the exact Figma design
  • No color customization needed

Use StarIcon when:

  • You need different color variations
  • Dynamic theming is required
  • You want to avoid external assets
  • You need animated color transitions

📱 Demo Screen Access

The demo screen showcases all star variations and usage examples.

Navigate to demo:

import { router } from "expo-router";
router.push("/star-demo");

Or add to Quick Actions:

{
  id: 'star-demo',
  icon: <StarImageIcon size={28} />,
  label: 'Star\nDemo',
  isActive: true,
}

🔧 Advanced Usage

Animated Stars

const rotateAnim = useRef(new Animated.Value(0)).current;

useEffect(() => {
  Animated.loop(
    Animated.timing(rotateAnim, {
      toValue: 1,
      duration: 3000,
      useNativeDriver: true,
    })
  ).start();
}, []);

const rotate = rotateAnim.interpolate({
  inputRange: [0, 1],
  outputRange: ["0deg", "360deg"],
});

<Animated.View style={{ transform: [{ rotate }] }}>
  <StarIcon size={50} />
</Animated.View>;

Multiple Stars Pattern

const stars = [
  { size: 30, x: 20, y: 10, opacity: 0.5 },
  { size: 25, x: 80, y: 40, opacity: 0.7 },
  { size: 35, x: 50, y: 70, opacity: 0.4 },
];

<View style={styles.container}>
  {stars.map((star, index) => (
    <StarImageIcon
      key={index}
      size={star.size}
      style={{
        position: "absolute",
        left: star.x,
        top: star.y,
        opacity: star.opacity,
      }}
    />
  ))}
</View>;
