How to set default font family in React Native?

Question

Is there an equivalent to this CSS in React Native, so that the app uses the same font everywhere ?

body {
  font-family: 'Open Sans';
}

Applying it manually on every Text node seems overly complicated.

Answer 1

The recommended way is to create your own component, such as MyAppText. MyAppText would be a simple component that renders a Text component using your universal style and can pass through other props, etc.
