To use it, import it in the following way:

import ReanimatedDrawerLayout from 'react-native-gesture-handler/ReanimatedDrawerLayout';

Properties:

drawerType

  • FRONT the drawer will be displayed above the content view.
  • BACK the drawer will be displayed below the content view, revealed by sliding away the content view.

FRONTBACKSLIDE

edgeWidth

width of the invisible, draggable area on the edge of the content view, which can be dragged to open the drawer.

hideStatusBar

a boolean value. When set to true, drawer component will use StatusBar API to hide the OS status bar when the drawer is dragged or idle in the open position.

statusBarAnimation

a string with possible values: slide, none or fade. Defaults to slide. May be used in combination with hideStatusBar to select the animation used for hiding the status bar. See StatusBar API docs.

overlayColor

color of the background overlay on top of the content window when the drawer is open.
This color's opacity animates from 0% to 100% as the drawer transitions from closed to open. Defaults to rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7).

renderNavigationView

a renderer function for the drawer component, provided with a progress parameter.

  • progress - SharedValue that indicates the progress of drawer opening/closing animation.
    • equals 0 when the drawer is closed and 1 when the drawer is opened
    • can be used by the drawer component to animated its children while the drawer is opening or closing

onDrawerClose

a function which is called when the drawer has been closed.

onDrawerOpen

a function which is called when the drawer has been opened.

onDrawerSlide

a function which is called when drawer is moving or animating, provided with a progress parameter.

  • progress - SharedValue that indicates the progress of drawer opening/closing animation.
    • equals 0 when the drawer is closed and 1 when the drawer is opened
    • can be used by the drawer component to animated its children while the drawer is opening or closing

onDrawerStateChanged

a function which is called when the status of the drawer changes. It takes two arguments:

  • newState - interaction state of the drawer. It can be one of the following:
    • DrawerState.IDLE
    • DrawerState.DRAGGING
    • DrawerState.SETTLING
  • drawerWillShow - true when drawer started animating to open position, false otherwise.

Example:

See the reanimated drawer layout example from GestureHandler example app.

import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { Gesture, GestureDetector } from 'react-native-gesture-handler';

import ReanimatedDrawerLayout, {
DrawerType,
DrawerPosition,
DrawerLayoutMethods,
} from 'react-native-gesture-handler/ReanimatedDrawerLayout';

const DrawerPage = () => {
return (
<View style={styles.drawerContainer}>
<Text>Lorem ipsum</Text>
</View>
);
};

export default function ReanimatedDrawerExample() {
const drawerRef = useRef < DrawerLayoutMethods > null;
const tapGesture = Gesture.Tap()
.runOnJS(true)
.onStart(() => drawerRef.current?.openDrawer());

return (
<ReanimatedDrawerLayout
ref={drawerRef}
renderNavigationView={() => <DrawerPage />}
drawerPosition={DrawerPosition.LEFT}
drawerType={DrawerType.FRONT}>
<View style={styles.innerContainer}>
<GestureDetector gesture={tapGesture}>
<View style={styles.box}>
<Text>Open drawer</Text>
</View>
</GestureDetector>
</View>
</ReanimatedDrawerLayout>
);
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
drawerContainer: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundColor: 'pink',
},
innerContainer: {
flex: 1,
backgroundColor: 'white',
