Dynamic Opacity not changing when component rerenders in react native

For me it worked when I also changed the disabled prop together with the opacity.

I guess the issue is that the opacity in TouchableOpacity is an Animated.Value that overrides the value in the style prop and doesn't change, when the style prop changes...

not sure if it's a bug on the TouchableOpacity component, but the opacity won't update on a re-render until the component is clicked

to fix your problem just wrap the content of the touchable in a View and apply the opacity to the view instead of the touchable

export default function Button({text, onPress, style, disabled, textStyle}) {
    const opacity = disabled === true ? 0.5 : 1
    // console.log('opacity', opacity)
    return (
        <TouchableOpacity onPress={onPress} disabled={disabled} 
          style={[defaultStyles.button, style]}>
          <View style={{opacity}}>
            <Text style={[defaultStyles.text, textStyle]}>{text}</Text>
          </View>
        </TouchableOpacity>
    )

}
