Swipeable

This component 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:​

Similarly to the DrawerLayout, Swipeable component isn't exported by default from the react-native-gesture-handler package. To use it, import it in the following way:

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

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 method 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 method 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.

onSwipeableLeftOpen​

caution

This callback is deprecated and will be removed in the next version. Please use onSwipeableOpen(direction)

method that is called when left action panel gets open.

onSwipeableRightOpen​

caution

This callback is deprecated and will be removed in the next version. Please use onSwipeableOpen(direction)

method that is called when right action panel gets open.

onSwipeableOpen​

method that is called when action panel gets open (either right or left). Takes swipe direction as an argument.

onSwipeableClose​

method that is called when action panel is closed. Takes swipe direction as an argument.

onSwipeableLeftWillOpen​

caution

This callback is deprecated and will be removed in the next version. Please use onSwipeableWillOpen(direction)

method that is called when left action panel starts animating on open.

onSwipeableRightWillOpen​

caution

This callback is deprecated and will be removed in the next version. Please use onSwipeableWillOpen(direction)

method that is called when right action panel starts animating on open.

onSwipeableWillOpen​

method that is called when action panel starts animating on open (either right or left). Takes swipe direction as an argument.

onSwipeableWillClose​

method that is called when action panel starts animating on close. Takes swipe direction as an argument.

renderLeftActions​

method that is expected to return an action panel that is going to be revealed from the left side when user swipes right. This map describes the values to use as inputRange for extra interpolation: AnimatedValue: [startValue, endValue]

progressAnimatedValue: [0, 1] dragAnimatedValue: [0, +]

To support rtl flexbox layouts use flexDirection styling.

renderRightActions​

method that is expected to return an action panel that is going to be revealed from the right side when user swipes left. This map describes the values to use as inputRange for extra interpolation: AnimatedValue: [startValue, endValue]

progressAnimatedValue: [0, 1] dragAnimatedValue: [0, -]

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​

method that closes component.

openLeft​

method that opens component on left side.

openRight​

method that opens component on right side.

reset​

method that resets the swiping states of this Swipeable component.

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

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Animated, StyleSheet, View } from 'react-native';
import { RectButton } from 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import Swipeable from 'react-native-gesture-handler/Swipeable';

class AppleStyleSwipeableRow extends Component {
  renderLeftActions = (progress, dragX) => {
    const trans = dragX.interpolate({
      inputRange: [0, 50, 100, 101],
      outputRange: [-20, 0, 0, 1],
    });
    return (
      <RectButton style={styles.leftAction} onPress={this.close}>
        <Animated.Text
          style={[
            styles.actionText,
            {
              transform: [{ translateX: trans }],
            },
          ]}>
          Archive
        </Animated.Text>
      </RectButton>
    );
  };
  render() {
    return (
      <Swipeable renderLeftActions={this.renderLeftActions}>
        <Text>"hello"</Text>
      </Swipeable>
    );
