react native text breaks word in the middle

Question

I show text in a react native Text component, within several, nested View components.
I retrieve this text from a service, that I call.
The text varies per call.
In some cases, react native (both iOS and android) automatically breaks the text, in the middle of a word.
example: i have a d
og

how can I force react native to keep words together / to only do a line-break between words?

Answer 1

we found a solution: we filter out non-breaking spaces in the front end. we don't know how/where the spaces in our content (imported into our database and retrieved in the front end using a backend service) are converted to non-breaking spaces.
