How can I make a rotated banner the same way as Tidal does here

I have tried making a trapezoid and rotate it by 45 degrees according to / and then place a rotated text on top of it, but it is very difficult to make it align with the borders.

var Trapezoid = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.trapezoid} />
    )
  }
})

trapezoid: {
  width: 200,
  height: 0,
  borderBottomWidth: 100,
  borderBottomColor: 'red',
  borderLeftWidth: 50,
  borderLeftColor: 'transparent',
  borderRightWidth: 50,
  borderRightColor: 'transparent',
  borderStyle: 'solid'
} 

I have also thought about making first one big triangle and then a smaller triangle on top (hiding a part of the big triangle), such that only the banner is visible, and then place a rotated text, but since the image behind is not solid colored, it is not possible to select a background color for the smaller triangle that will hide the bigger triangle.

The easiest must be something like this

<View style={{
  transform: [{ rotate: '-30deg'}],
  marginLeft: 5,
  marginTop: 5,
  backgroundColor: 'lightblue',
  borderTopWidth: 1,
  borderBottomWidth: 1,
  borderColor: '#fff',
  paddingVertical: 1,
  paddingHorizontal: 20,
  marginLeft: -15,
  marginTop: 8
}}>
  <Text style={{
    backgroundColor: 'transparent', color: '#111', fontSize: 10,
    fontWeight: 'bold' }}>EXCLUSIVE</Text>
</View>

but then I have to change the position manually according to the size of the text, and the borders of the rectangle will stick out of the picture.

You can implement something like this:

.banner{
  position: absolute;
  transform: rotate(45deg);
  top: 15px;
  right: -40px;
  padding: 5px 50px; 
  background-color: red;
}
.view{
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
  width: 250px;
}
img{
  width: 100%;
}

<div class="view">
    <img src="https://upload.wikimedia/wikipedia/mons/thumb/9/99/Unofficial_JavaScript_logo_2.svg/1200px-Unofficial_JavaScript_logo_2.svg.png" alt="js">
    <div class="banner">banner</div>
</div>

I've tried with react-native:

class ImageWithBanner extends Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <View style={styles.container}>
                <View style={styles.view}>
                    <Image
                        style={styles.image}
                        source={{
                            uri:
                                'https://upload.wikimedia/wikipedia/mons/thumb/9/99/Unofficial_JavaScript_logo_2.svg/1200px-Unofficial_JavaScript_logo_2.svg.png'
                        }}
                    />
                    <View style={styles.banner}>
                        <Text>banner</Text>
                    </View>
                </View>
                <Button
                    title="Tap to reload items"
                    onPress={() => this.getData('boobs')}
                />
            </View>
        );
    }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
    view: {
        overflow: 'hidden',
        position: 'relative',
        width: 250,
        height: 200
    },
    image: {
        width: '100%',
        height: '100%'
    },
    banner: {
        position: 'absolute',
        backgroundColor: 'red',
        transform: [{ rotate: '45deg' }],
        top: 15,
        right: -40,
        paddingTop: 5,
        paddingBottom: 5,
        paddingLeft: 50,
        paddingRight: 50
    }
});

This seems to work, with an absolute position, transformed within the banner class, rather than transforming the view or image:

var styles = StyleSheet.create({
view: {
    overflow: 'hidden',
    position: 'relative',
    width: 250,
    height: 200
},
image: {
    width: '100%',
    height: '100%'
},
banner: {
    position: 'absolute',
    backgroundColor: 'red',
    transform: [{ rotate: '45deg' }],
    top: 15,
    right: -40,
    paddingTop: 5,
    paddingBottom: 5,
    paddingLeft: 50,
    paddingRight: 50
}
});

OR, depending on how you want to embed your classes in your HTML sheet, and how you proportion sizes,

.banner{
  position: absolute;
  transform: rotate(45deg);
  top: 15px;
  right: -40px;
  padding: 5px 50px; 
  background-color: red;
}
.view{
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
  width: 250px;
}
img{
  width: 100%;
}
