Font loading error when using the ShoutemUI/TextInput component in a Exponent react-native framework

I'm trying to use shoutem/ui with exponent and I’m getting an error using the shoutem/ui textinput component, where I get the following error message fontFamily Rubik is not a system font and has not been loaded through Exponent.Font.loadAsync

However I loaded all the custom shoutem fonts that were listed in the blog post https://blog.getexponent.com/using-react-native-ui-toolkits-with-exponent-3993434caf66#.iyiwjpwgu

Using the Exponent.Font.loadAsync method.

 fonts: [
          FontAwesome.font,
          {'space-mono': require('./assets/fonts/SpaceMono-Regular.ttf')},
          {'Rubik-Black': require('./node_modules/@shoutem/ui/fonts/Rubik-Black.ttf')},
          {'Rubik-BlackItalic': require('./node_modules/@shoutem/ui/fonts/Rubik-BlackItalic.ttf')},
          {'Rubik-Bold': require('./node_modules/@shoutem/ui/fonts/Rubik-Bold.ttf')},
          {'Rubik-BoldItalic': require('./node_modules/@shoutem/ui/fonts/Rubik-BoldItalic.ttf')},
          {'Rubik-Italic': require('./node_modules/@shoutem/ui/fonts/Rubik-Italic.ttf')},
          {'Rubik-Light': require('./node_modules/@shoutem/ui/fonts/Rubik-Light.ttf')},
          {'Rubik-LightItalic': require('./node_modules/@shoutem/ui/fonts/Rubik-LightItalic.ttf')},
          {'Rubik-Medium': require('./node_modules/@shoutem/ui/fonts/Rubik-Medium.ttf')},
          {'Rubik-MediumItalic': require('./node_modules/@shoutem/ui/fonts/Rubik-MediumItalic.ttf')},
          {'Rubik-Regular': require('./node_modules/@shoutem/ui/fonts/Rubik-Regular.ttf')},
          {'rubicon-icon-font': require('./node_modules/@shoutem/ui/fonts/rubicon-icon-font.ttf')},
        ],
      });

Looking through the code I couldn't find the obvious fix - had trouble even finding where the style was set to throw the error.

Solution

  • The code above seem to be missing one line. Try adding this line to the array list:

    {'Rubik': require('./node_modules/@shoutem/ui/fonts/Rubik-Regular.ttf')}
