I have an API that outputs some text extracted from MongoDB in JSON format. I want to show the text in my React Native, but I want to keep the newlines.

How should I store the newlines in my MongoDB so that I can print the text in my API and still show the text with newlines in React Native?

I'm wondering if I should use \n since I cannot use <br> since React Native is not able to render HTML.

`\n` indicates a newline, so yes. – Derek 朕會功夫 Aug 23 '17 at 18:38
[This post](https://stackoverflow.com/q/32469570/2444365) may help you. Use {'\n'} instead of \n – Harlan Aug 24 '17 at 01:22
