Button

A basic button component that should render nicely on any platform. Supports a minimal level of customization.

If this button doesn't look right for your app, you can build your own button using Pressable. For inspiration, look at the source code for the Button component.

<Button
  onPress={onPressLearnMore}
  title="Learn More"
  color="#841584"
  accessibilityLabel="Learn more about this purple button"
/>
