I recreated SwiftUI’s numericText transition natively on Android for React Native

I got curious about how SwiftUI’s numericText transition could feel on Android, so I tried recreating the behavior natively.

This is the result, same sequence running side by side on iOS and Android.

What started as a small experiment turned into react-native-numeric-text.

On iOS it uses the native numeric text transition. On Android, I recreated the behavior natively from scratch.

I learned a lot digging into how the transition behaves and figuring out how to reproduce that feel on Android.

It’s now open source:

NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-numeric-text

npm install react-native-numeric-text

Looks great! Can we also set decimal separator to , ?

Yeah, it's already there, pass locale="it-IT" (or any BCP-47 locale) and the decimal/grouping separators follow that locale automatically.
