How to Change Font Family for textInput Placeholder in React Native

Question

I have to change the font family for textInput's Placeholder text. If we add this secureTextEntry={true}, the mentioned font Family is set for placeholder text.

<TextInput style={styles.textboxfield}  secureTextEntry={true} placeholder="Password" />

But if we remove this secureTextEntry={true}, we can't set font-family for placeholder

<TextInput style={styles.textboxfield} placeholder="Password" />

Style is : textboxfieldd: { height: 39, backgroundColor: '#ffffff', marginBottom:0, fontFamily:'Inconsolata-Regular', },

How can I change the font family for placeholder text ?

Answer 1

Try this :

<TextInput
    secureTextEntry={(this.state.email.length <= 0 && this.state.emailStatus != 'onFocus') ? true : false}
    style={styles.textboxfieldd}
    placeholderStyle={styles.textboxfieldd}
    onFocus={this.changeStatus.bind(this, 'emailStatus', 'onFocus', '')}
    onChangeText={(email) => this.setState({ email })}
    value={this.state.email}
    placeholder={this.state.emailStatusPH}
    placeholderTextColor="#D8D8D8" />

Exactly this line => secureTextEntry={(this.state.email.length<=0 && this.state.emailStatus!='onFocus') ?true:false} solves the problem .

Because if we give secureTextEntry={true} means fontfamily is set to placeholder text but field changed as password , so for that only we wrote like this . secureTextEntry={(this.state.email.length<=0 && this.state.emailStatus!='onFocus') ?true:false}

If that field length is 0 and not focused means it will set true secureTextEntry={true} so the placeholder text is set to mentioned fontfamily
