Reanimated Swipeable

info

This component is a drop-in replacement for the Swipeable component, rewritten using Reanimated.

Reanimated Swipeable allows for implementing swipeable rows or similar interaction. It renders its children within a panable container allows for horizontal swiping left and right. While swiping one of two "action" containers can be shown depends on whether user swipes left or right (containers can be rendered by renderLeftActions or renderRightActions props).

Usage:

To use it, import it in the following way:

import Swipeable from 'react-native-gesture-handler/ReanimatedSwipeable';

Properties

friction

a number that specifies how much the visual interaction will be delayed compared to the gesture distance. e.g. value of 1 will indicate that the swipeable panel should exactly follow the gesture, 2 means it is going to be two times "slower".

leftThreshold

distance from the left edge at which released panel will animate to the open state (or the open panel will animate into the closed state). By default it's a half of the panel's width.

rightThreshold

distance from the right edge at which released panel will animate to the open state (or the open panel will animate into the closed state). By default it's a half of the panel's width.

dragOffsetFromLeftEdge

distance that the panel must be dragged from the left edge to be considered a swipe. The default value is 10.

dragOffsetFromRightEdge

distance that the panel must be dragged from the right edge to be considered a swipe. The default value is 10.

overshootLeft

a boolean value indicating if the swipeable panel can be pulled further than the left actions panel's width. It is set to true by default as long as the left panel render function is present.

overshootRight

a boolean value indicating if the swipeable panel can be pulled further than the right actions panel's width. It is set to true by default as long as the right panel render function is present.

overshootFriction

a number that specifies how much the visual interaction will be delayed compared to the gesture distance at overshoot. Default value is 1, it mean no friction, for a native feel, try 8 or above.

onSwipeableOpen

a function that is called when swipeable is opened (either right or left). Receives swipe direction as an argument.

onSwipeableClose

a function that is called when swipeable is closed. Receives swipe direction as an argument.

onSwipeableWillOpen

a function that is called when swipeable starts animating on open (either right or left). Receives swipe direction as an argument.

onSwipeableWillClose

a function that is called when swipeable starts animating on close. Receives swipe direction as an argument.

onSwipeableOpenStartDrag

a function that is called when a user starts to drag the swipable to open. Receives swipe direction as an argument.

onSwipeableCloseStartDrag

a function that is called when a user starts to drag the swipable to close. Receives swipe direction as an argument.

renderLeftActions

a function that returns a component which will be rendered under the swipeable after swiping it to the right. The function receives the following arguments:

  • progress - a SharedValue representing swiping progress relative to the width of the returned element.
    • Equals 0 when swipeable is closed, 1 when swipeable is opened.
    • When the element overshoots it's opened position the value tends towards Infinity.
  • translation - a horizontal offset of the swipeable relative to its closed position.
  • swipeableMethods - provides an object exposing the methods listed here.

This function must return a ReactNode.

To support rtl flexbox layouts use flexDirection styling.

renderRightActions

a function that returns a component which will be rendered under the swipeable after swiping it to the left. The function receives the following arguments:

  • progress - a SharedValue representing swiping progress relative to the width of the returned element.
    • Equals 0 when swipeable is closed, 1 when swipeable is opened.
    • When the element overshoots it's opened position the value tends towards Infinity.
  • translation - a horizontal offset of the swipeable relative to its closed position.
  • swipeableMethods - provides an object exposing the methods listed here.

This function must return a ReactNode.

To support rtl flexbox layouts use flexDirection styling.

containerStyle

style object for the container (Animated.View), for example to override overflow: 'hidden'.

childrenContainerStyle

style object for the children container (Animated.View), for example to apply flex: 1.

enableTrackpadTwoFingerGesture (iOS only)

Enables two-finger gestures on supported devices, for example iPads with trackpads. If not enabled the gesture will require click + drag, with enableTrackpadTwoFingerGesture swiping with two fingers will also trigger the gesture.

mouseButton(value: MouseButton) (Web & Android only)

Allows users to choose which mouse button should handler respond to. The enum MouseButton consists of the following predefined fields:

  • LEFT
  • RIGHT
  • MIDDLE
  • BUTTON_4
  • BUTTON_5
  • ALL

Arguments can be combined using | operator, e.g. mouseButton(MouseButton.LEFT | MouseButton.RIGHT). Default value is set to MouseButton.LEFT.

enableContextMenu(value: boolean) (Web only)

Specifies whether context menu should be enabled after clicking on underlying view with right mouse button. Default value is set to false.

Methods

Using reference to Swipeable it's possible to trigger some actions on it

close

a method that closes component.

openLeft

a method that opens component on left side.

openRight

a method that opens component on right side.

reset

a method that resets the swiping states of this Swipeable component.

Unlike method close, this method does not trigger any animation.

Example:

For a more in-depth presentation of differences between the new and the legacy implementations, see swipeable example from GestureHandler Example App.

import React from 'react';
import { Text, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

import { GestureHandlerRootView } from 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import ReanimatedSwipeable from 'react-native-gesture-handler/ReanimatedSwipeable';
import Reanimated, {
SharedValue,
useAnimatedStyle,
} from 'react-native-reanimated';

function RightAction(prog: SharedValue<number>, drag: SharedValue<number>) {
const styleAnimation = useAnimatedStyle(() => {
console.log('showRightProgress:', prog.value);
console.log('appliedTranslation:', drag.value);

return {
transform: [{ translateX: drag.value + 50 }],
};
});

return (
<Reanimated.View style={styleAnimation}>
<Text style={styles.rightAction}>Text</Text>
</Reanimated.View>
);
}

export default function Example() {
return (
<GestureHandlerRootView>
<ReanimatedSwipeable
containerStyle={styles.swipeable}
friction={2}
enableTrackpadTwoFingerGesture
rightThreshold={40}
renderRightActions={RightAction}>
<Text>Swipe me!</Text>
</ReanimatedSwipeable>
</GestureHandlerRootView>
);
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
rightAction: { width: 50, height: 50, backgroundColor: 'purple' },
separator: {
width: '100%',
borderTopWidth: 1,
},
swipeable: {
height: 50,
backgroundColor: 'papayawhip',
alignItems: 'center',
},
});
