Getting Started

Make sure your project is react-native project.
Using this command to install:

npm install react-native-largelist --save

Using it like this:

import { LargeList } from "react-native-largelist";

//other code
...
<LargeList
  style={{ flex: 1 }}
  bounces={true}
  refreshing={this.state.refreshing}
  onRefresh={() => {
    this.setState({ refreshing: true });
    setTimeout(() => this.setState({ refreshing: false }), 2000);
  }}
  safeMargin={600}
  numberOfRowsInSection={section => this.props.numberOfEachSection}
  numberOfSections={()=>this.props.numberOfSections}
  heightForCell={(section, row) => row % 2 ? this.minCellHeight : this.maxCellHeight}
  renderCell={this.renderItem.bind(this)}
  heightForSection={section =>section % 2 ? this.minSectionHeight : this.maxSectionHeight}
  renderHeader={this.renderHeader.bind(this)}
  renderFooter={this.renderFooter.bind(this)}
  renderSection={section => {
    return (
      <View
        style={{
          flex: 1,
          backgroundColor: section % 2 ? "grey" : "yellow",
          justifyContent: "center",
          alignItems: "center"
        }}
      >
        <Text>
           I am section {section}
        </Text>
      </View>
    );
  }}
/>
...

Usage

import { LargeList } from "react-native-largelist"

Props:

Props	type	default	effect
（ViewProps）	（ViewPropTypes）		All props of View
numberOfSections	()=>number	()=>1	number of sections in tableview
numberOfRowsInSection	(section:number) => number	section=>0	function：return the number of rows in section
renderCell	(section:number,row:number) => React.Element	required	function: render of cell with section and row index.The parent is fixed,you can use flex=1
heightForCell	(section:number,row:number) => number	required	function：return height for cell with section and row index
renderSection	(section:number) => React.Element	section=>null	function：render of section with section index.The parent is fixed,you can use flex=1
heightForSection	(section:number) => number	()=>0	function：return height of section with section index
renderHeader	() => React.Element	()=>null	function：render of header in LargeList. it must have a bounded height in order to work
renderFooter	() => React.Element	()=>null	function：render of footer in LargeList. it must have a bounded height in order to work
bounces	boolean	true	bounces
refreshing	boolean	undefined	refreshing
onRefresh	() => any	undefined	callback of pulling to refresh,if not undefined ,a default RefreshControl is add to LargeList
onScroll	({nativeEvent:{contentOffset:{x:number,y:number}}})=> any		Callback when scrolling.

Notice:

If your data source change and it affects the number of sections or the number of cells in section, or the height of any sections or cells, you must call reloadData

Principle

Before we learn advanced usage, we must first understand the basic principles:

Every Cell/Item is reused just like UITableView/RecyclerView. The top Cell/Item which is Slided to the outside of the visible region does not need to show. So, I move it bottom, render it with the new datasource.

But,as you know, It is different with native UITableView/RecyclerView. They are not one thread between Main Thread(UI Thread) and JavaScript Thread. And They are asynchronous, and the communication between them may take not a few time. So, I try to render more Cells/Items at the upper and lower ends of the visual area. I call it safeArea. And I use it to buffer, to avoid the user slide suddenly and the visual view of the upper and lower edges is flickering.

Look up the design of react-native-largelist:

Advanced Usage

safeMargin

type: number
default: 600
The height of rendering children out side of visible area. The greater the value is, the less easily you see the blank in the fast sliding process, but the longer the first time it is loaded

dynamicMargin

type: number
default: 500
The height of dynamic safe margin when sliding too fast. For example, if safeMargin=600 and dynamicMargin=500, it will render 100 height on top and 1100 height on bottom out side of the visible area when sliding down too fast.

Notice:

It does not work when the speed of sliding is slow.
It can not be set larger than safeMargin

scrollEventThrottle

type: number
default: ios:16
It is the same as scrollEventThrottle on ScrollView

onIndexPathDidEnterSafeArea

type: (indexPath:IndexPath)=>any
default: ()=>null
The callback when an indexpath did enter safeArea.

onIndexPathDidLeaveSafeArea

type: (indexPath:IndexPath)=>any
default: ()=>null
The callback when an indexpath did leave safeArea.

showsVerticalScrollIndicator

type: bool
default: true
Show vertical scroll indicator.

onSectionDidHangOnTop

type: section=>any
default: ()=>null
The callback when a new Section hang on the top of the LargeList.

speedLevel1

type: number
default: 4
If the speed of scrolling is faster than speedLevel1, LargeList will not rerender, just use "setNativeProps" to move the position. Unit is logic pixels/ms.

speedLevel2

type: number
default: 10
It does not work for the current version.

nativeOptimize

type: bool
default: false
Use native optimize, iOS only. This is an experimental prop.If it is set, safeArea doesn't make sense. To use the prop, you should add "${YourProject}/node_modules/react-native-largelist/ios/STTVTableView.xcodeproj" to your iOS project. And make sure link it.

onLoadMore

type: ()=>any
default: null
The callback when pull up on the bottom

heightForLoadMore

type: ()=>number
default: ()=>70
function: return the height of Loading More View.

allLoadCompleted

type: bool
default: false
Did all data source load completed?

renderLoadingMore

type: ()=>React.Element
default: ()=> < ActivityIndicator style={{ marginTop: 10, alignSelf: "center" }} size={"large"}/ >
The render of custom Loading More View,The parent is fixed,you can use flex=1

renderLoadCompleted

type: ()=>React.Element
default: ()=> < Text style={{ marginTop: 20, alignSelf: "center", fontSize: 16 }}>No more data< /Text >
The render of custom Loading Completed View.The parent is fixed,you can use flex=1

numberOfCellPoolSize

type: number
default: (ScreenHeight + 2 * SafeMargin)/minCellHeight+0.5
Max size of Cell pool

Notice：

LargeList does not create cell when sliding, they are reused.
If numberOfCellPoolSize is too large, it takes more time when initialing and reloadData.
If it is too small, LargeList will not work well.

numberOfSectionPoolSize

type: number
default: 6
Max size of Section pool, Refer to numberOfCellPoolSize as a matter of attention.

renderEmpty

type: ()=>React.Element
default: ()=>null
The empty view render

Notice：

It must have a bounded height in order to work
It is empty when numberOfSections===0 || (numberOfSections===1 && numberOfRowsInSection===0)

widthForRightWhenSwipeOut

type: (section,row)=>number
default: ()=>0
Swipe left, the width of right View. To swipe out to delete/config cell, you must set this prop.

renderRightWhenSwipeOut

type: (section,row)=>React.Element
default: ()=>null
Swipe left, the render of right View. To swipe out to delete/config cell, you must set this prop.

widthForLeftWhenSwipeOut

type: (section,row)=>number
default: ()=>0
Swipe right, the width of left View. To swipe out to config cell, you can set this prop.

renderLeftWhenSwipeOut

type: (section,row)=>number
default: ()=>null
Swipe right, the render of left View. To swipe out to config cell, you can set this prop.

Notice: It is not recommended to use widthForLeftWhenSwipeOut and renderLeftWhenSwipeOut, it will shake sometimes when rotating screen.

colorForSwipeOutBgColor

type: (section,row)=>Color
default: ()=>"#AAA"
Background color for swipe out.

initialOffsetY

type: number
default: 0
Initial offset. It works only on init.

renderItemSeparator

type: (section,row)=>React.Element
default: ()=>< View style={{height:1,backgroundColor:"#EEE",marginLeft: 16}} / >
The render of item separator. It will not work on the last cell of any sections.And notice that the heightForCell contains its height.

onLargeListDidUpdate

type: ()=>any
default: ()=>null
Callback when LargeList render completed and reloadData completed.

Method

scrollTo(offset:Offset, animated:boolean=true)

Scroll to offset.

scrollToIndexPath(indexPath:IndexPath, animated:boolean = true)

Scroll to an indexpath.

scrollToEnd(animated:boolean=true)

Scroll to the end of the LargeList.

visibleIndexPaths():IndexPath[]

Get the visible indexpaths at this time.

renderedIndexPaths():IndexPath[]

Get the rendered indexpaths at this time.

freeCount(): number

Get the count of free views at this time.

reloadIndexPath(indexPath: IndexPath)

Reload datasource on indexpath partially.

reloadIndexPaths(indexPaths: IndexPath[])

Reload datasource in some indexpaths partially.

reloadAll()

Reload all datasource partially.

Notice:

reloadIndexPath, reloadIndexPaths, reloadAll work partially. They do not work well when the numberOfSections ,numberOfRowsInSection,heightForSection,heightForCell change.Use reloadData instead.

reloadData()

Reload all datasource globally.

Notice:

If the numberOfSections ,numberOfRowsInSection,heightForSection,heightForCell change, you must use this method to reload.
Do not use this method often, because it is bad performance.

Dynamic variable

size:Size

Current size of LargeList. Size：{width:number,height:number}

contentOffset:Offset

Current contentOffset of LargeList. Offset：{x:number,y:number}

safeArea: Range

Current safeArea of LargeList.. Range:{top:number,bottom:number}

topIndexPath: IndexPath

Current topIndexPath of LargeList. IndexPath:{section:number,row:number}

bottomIndexPath: IndexPath

Current bottomIndexPath of LargeList. IndexPath:{section:number,row:number}

contentSize:Size

Current contentSize of LargeList. Size:{width:number, height:number}

currentSection:number

Current section index of LargeList.

headerHeight:number

Get LargeList's header height

footerHeight:number

Get LargeList's footer height
