🔷 Install

Type in the following to the command line to install the dependency.

$ npm install --save react-native-gallery-swiper

🔷 Usage Example

Add an import to the top of the file. At minimal, declare the GallerySwiper component in the render() method providing an array of data for the images prop.

ℹ️ Local images must have a defined dimensions field with width and height or just height and width.

import GallerySwiper from "react-native-gallery-swiper";

//...
render() {
    return (
        <GallerySwiper
            style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: "black" }}
            images={[
                // Version *1.1.0 update (or greater versions): 
                // Can be used with different image object fieldnames.
                // Ex. source, source.uri, uri, URI, url, URL
                { uri: "https://luehangs.site/pic-chat-app-images/beautiful-blond-blonde-hair-478544.jpg" },
                { source: require("yourApp/image.png"),
                    // IMPORTANT: It is REQUIRED for LOCAL IMAGES
                    // to include a dimensions field with the
                    // actual width and height of the image or
                    // it will throw an error.
                    dimensions: { width: 1080, height: 1920 } },
                { source: require("yourApp/image.png"),
                    // Version *1.5.0 update (or greater versions):
                    // An alternative to the dimensions field.
                    // This will also be acceptable.
                    width: 1080,
                    height: 1920 },
                { source: { uri: "https://luehangs.site/pic-chat-app-images/beautiful-beautiful-women-beauty-40901.jpg" } },
                { uri: "https://luehangs.site/pic-chat-app-images/animals-avian-beach-760984.jpg",
                    // Optional: Adding a dimensions or height and
                    // width field with the actual width and height
                    // for REMOTE IMAGES will help improve performance.
                    dimensions: { width: 1080, height: 1920 } },
                { URI: "https://luehangs.site/pic-chat-app-images/beautiful-blond-fishnet-stockings-48134.jpg" },

🔷 Scroll state and events

  • onPageScroll(event: { position: number, offset: number, fraction: number }) => void

    The event object carries following data:

    • position: number: index of first page from the left that is currently visible.
    • offset: number: value from range [0,1) describing stage between page transitions.
    • fraction: number: means that (1 - x) fraction of the page at "position" index is visible, and x fraction of the next page is visible.

  • onPageScrollStateChanged(state: string) => void

    Called when the page scrolling state has changed. The page scrolling state can be in 3 states:

    • 'idle': string: there is no interaction with the page scroller happening at the time.
    • 'dragging': string: there is currently an interaction with the page scroller.
    • 'settling': string: there was an interaction with the page scroller, and the page scroller is now finishing its closing or opening animation.






🔷 Helpful Hints

ℹ️ Version *1.2.0 update (or greater versions): refPage prop

Props Description Type Default
refPage The ref for the inner View Page. Function

Below is an example implementation of the refPage which works like a React ref.

import GallerySwiper from "react-native-gallery-swiper";

//...
render() {
    return (
        <GallerySwiper
            style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: "black" }}
            refPage={(component) => (this.gallerySwiper = component)}
            images={[
                { uri: "https://luehangs.site/pic-chat-app-images/beautiful-blond-blonde-hair-478544.jpg" },
                { source: require("yourApp/image.png"),
                    dimensions: { width: 1080, height: 1920 } },
                { source: { uri: "https://luehangs.site/pic-chat-app-images/beautiful-beautiful-women-beauty-40901.jpg" } },
                { uri: "https://luehangs.site/pic-chat-app-images/animals-avian-beach-760984.jpg",
                    dimensions: { width: 1080, height: 1920 } },
                { URI: "https://luehangs.site/pic-chat-app-images/beautiful-blond-fishnet-stockings-48134.jpg" },
                { url: "https://luehangs.site/pic-chat-app-images/beautiful-beautiful-woman-beauty-9763.jpg" },
                { URL: "https://luehangs.site/pic-chat-app-images/attractive-balance-beautiful-186263.jpg" },
            ]}
        />
    );

🔹 Some Useful Functions

After implementing the refPage={(component) => (this.gallerySwiper = component)} property to the <GallerySwiper /> component.

  • this.gallerySwiper.flingToPage(index: number, velocityX: number)

    This Function executes a "fling" to a page:

    • index: number: The required index of desired page.
    • velocityX: number: The required velocity X and should be above > 0.00.

  • this.gallerySwiper.scrollToPage(index: number, immediate: Boolean)

    This Function executes a "scroll" to a page:

    • index: number: The required index of desired page.
    • immediate: Boolean: Whether to go to page immediately without animation or not. Default is false.
