App.tsx

import {AlertContainer} from 'rn-inkpad';

export const App = () => {
  return (
    <View>
      <AlertContainer />

    </View>
  );
};

import {Alert} from  'rn-inkpad';

const  MyComponent  = () => {

 const handlePress = () => {

 }

 return (
   <View>
	  <TouchableOpacity onPress={handlePress} >
        <Text>Open Alert</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>

 )
