useDerivedValue

useDerivedValue lets you create new shared values based on existing ones while keeping them reactive.

Reference

import { useDerivedValue } from 'react-native-reanimated';

function App() {
  const derivedValue = useDerivedValue(() => {
    return sv.value * 50;
  });
}

Type definitions

interface SharedValue<Value = unknown> {
  value: Value;
  get(): Value;
  set(value: Value | ((value: Value) => Value)): void;
  addListener: (listenerID: number, listener: (value: Value) => void) => void;
  removeListener: (listenerID: number) => void;
  modify: (modifier?: (value: Value) => Value, forceUpdate?: boolean) => void;
}

interface DerivedValue<Value = unknown>
  extends Readonly<Omit<SharedValue<Value>, 'set'>> {
  /**
   * @deprecated Derived values are readonly, don't use this method. It's here
   *   only to prevent breaking changes in TypeScript types. It will be removed
   *   in the future.
   */
  set: SharedValue<Value>['set'];
}

function useDerivedValue<T>(
  updater: () => T,
  dependencies?: DependencyList
): DerivedValue<T>;

Arguments

updater

A function that should return a value constructed of shared values, React state or any other JavaScript value. This function is called whenever at least one of the shared values or state used in the function body changes.

dependencies

Optional

An optional array of dependencies.

Only relevant when using Reanimated without the Babel plugin on the Web.

Returns

useDerivedValue returns a new readonly shared value based on a value returned from the updater function.

Example

Remarks

• The callback passed to the first argument is automatically workletized and ran on the UI thread.

• You can also use useDerivedValue without returning a value in the updater function to react to a change of a shared value. If you need to access the previous value stored in a shared value use useAnimatedReaction instead.
