  <TouchableHighlight><Text>Button 2</Text></TouchableHighlight>
];

function MyListItem() {

Instance Methods

recenter()

Imperatively reset swipeable component back to initial position. This is useful if buttons are exposed and the user has begun scrolling the parent view.

class MyListItem extends Component {

  swipeable = null;

  handleUserBeganScrollingParentView() {
    this.swipeable.recenter();
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Swipeable onRef={ref => this.swipeable = ref} rightButtons={rightButtons}>
        <Text>My swipeable content</Text>
      </Swipeable>
    );
  }
}

Example

To run the example:

npm run build
cd example
npm install
react-native run-ios # or run-android

Common Issues

Action being triggered more than once (#3)

This seems to occur occasionally (but not always) with certain ScrollView and ListView configurations. The fix is simple though, just ensure that scrollEnabled is set to false while the user is swiping a row.

<ScrollView scrollEnabled={!this.state.isSwiping}>
  <Swipeable
    onSwipeStart={() => this.setState({isSwiping: true})}
    onSwipeRelease={() => this.setState({isSwiping: false})}
  </Swipeable>
</ScrollView>

or:

<ListView
  scrollEnabled={!this.state.isSwiping}
  renderRow={() => (
    <Swipeable
      onSwipeStart={() => this.setState({isSwiping: true})}
      onSwipeRelease={() => this.setState({isSwiping: false})}
    </Swipeable>
  )}
/>
