### `experimental_backgroundImage`
### `backgroundImage`

<ExperimentalAPIWarning />

`experimental_backgroundImage` provides the ability to draw a [`linear-gradient()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Values/gradient/linear-gradient) ([0.76.x+](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/CHANGELOG-0.7x.md#v0760)) and [`radial-gradient()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Values/gradient/radial-gradient) ([0.80.x+](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#v0800)) using a web-like syntax.
`backgroundImage` provides the ability to draw a [`linear-gradient()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Values/gradient/linear-gradient) and [`radial-gradient()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Values/gradient/radial-gradient) using a web-like syntax.

```tsx
// Simple usage:
<View style={{
experimental_backgroundImage: 'linear-gradient(45deg, blue, red)'
}} />
<View style={{
experimental_backgroundImage: 'radial-gradient(ellipse farthest-corner at 30% 40%, red, blue)'
}} />
<View style={{ backgroundImage: 'linear-gradient(45deg, blue, red)' }} />

<View style={{ backgroundImage: 'radial-gradient(ellipse farthest-corner at 30% 40%, red, blue)' }} />

// Also with PlatformColor:
<View
style={{
backgroundImage: [
{
type: 'linear-gradient',
direction: 'to bottom',
colorStops: [
{
color: Platform.select({
ios: PlatformColor('systemTealColor'),
android: PlatformColor('@android:color/holo_purple'),
default: 'blue',
}),
positions: ['0%'],
},
{color: 'green', positions: ['100%']},
],
},
],
}}
/>
```
