gradient

Displays a GradientLayer.

Field Configurations

Key	Type	Description	Default Value
"colors"	Array	The list of the colors which is used for the gradient. Default: will result in a transparent layer	"[]"
"direction"	GradientDirection	The direction of the gradient.	"LR"
"gradientCenter"	Object	The center of the gradient.	{"x":0.5,"y":0.5}
"gradientRadius"	UnitSize	The radius of the gradient. Default: ommiting this value will use half of the layer's size	null
"gradientType"	GradientType	The type of the gradient. (angular is PREVIEW)	"linear"
"positions"	Array	[PREVIEW] The list of positions for the defined colors. The values need to be between 0 and 1.	[]

Field Configurations

Key	Type	Description	Default Value
"_value"	Value	[PREVIEW] Dynamic value of the layer.	null
"accessibilityAppendState"	String	Defines this layer appends its state to the accessibility text.	null
"accessibilityText"	String	Text for accessibility navigation. Can be translated.	null
"actions"	ActionList	List of actions, which will be executed when the layer is tapped.	null
"borderColor"	Color	The color of the border in hex color value.	null
"borderRadius"	UnitSize	The radius applies to all corners; with a borderWidth of 0 the border is not drawn and radius is set anyway.	0

"dataKey"	String	Name for assigning data to this layer.	null
"focusColor"	Color	The highlight color of this layer when it is focused. Mainly used on TV. If no color is provided, the pressedColor will be used.	null
"hidden"	Boolean	Indicates whether the layer is hidden. Default: false.	false
"isAccessibilityElement"	String	Defines if this layer is important for accessibility navigation. The default depends on the layer type.	null
"layerRotation"	Number	The layer is rotated by the specified degree.	0
"name"	String	Unique name in the layout. Used for alignment or actions.	null
"opacity"	Number	The opacity of the layer.	1
"overInsetBottom"	Boolean	Determines if this layer ignores the save space at the bottom of the device.	false
"overInsetTop"	Boolean	Determines if this layer ignores the save space at the top of the device.	false
"pressedColor"	Color	The highlight color of this layer when it is pressed. Mainly used on TV. If no color is provided, the focusColor will be used.	null
"safeArea"	SafeAreaTypeObject	Determines the safe area behaviour.	null
"shadowElevation"	Number	The elevation of this layer for casting shadows.	0
"state"	String	The state the layer will use as default.	"default"
"states"	LayerStates	A list of named states that affect the appearance of the layer.	null
"topLeftRadius"	UnitSize	Radius for the top left corner.	0
"topRightRadius"	UnitSize	Radius for the top right corner.	0
"touchFeedback"	TouchFeedback	Determines if the layer should show a touch feedback if touched.	"visible"
"trackingKey"	String	Defines a key for a scroll event.	null

"value"	Value	(Initial) value of the layer.	null

Examples

Example 1: Create a full-screen linear gradient

Goal: Creates a two-color gradient with a left-to-right direction spanning the entire screen.

The following code can be used to accomplish this:

{
  "type": "gradient",
  "direction": "LR",
  "gradientType": "linear",
  "colors": [
    "#2f96b4",
    "#bf4797"
  ],
  "constraints": [
    {
      "type": "pos",
      "x": "0dp",
      "y": "0dp"
    },
    {
      "type": "size",
      "height": "100%",
      "width": "100%"
    }
  ]
}

Result:

A linear gradient has successfully been created.
