react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view

A ScrollView component that handles keyboard appearance.

Supported versions

Use react-native>=0.25.0 for v0.0.7 and v0.0.6 for older RN versions.

Installation

Installation can be done through npm:

npm i react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view --save

Usage

You can use the KeyboardAwareScrollView or the KeyboardAwareListView components. Both accept ScrollView and ListView default props and implements a custom KeyboardAwareMixin to handle keyboard appearance. The mixin is also available if you want to use it in any other component.

Import react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view and wrap your content inside it:

import { KeyboardAwareScrollView } from 'react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view'

<KeyboardAwareScrollView>
  <View>
    <TextInput />
  </View>
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>

The component accepts the experimental prop viewIsInsideTabBar, which tries to solve resizing issues when rendering inside a TabBar component.

Auto-scroll in `TextInput` fields

In order to perform an auto-scroll whenever a TextInput field gets focused, you can use the built-in method scrollToFocusedInput. Define the following function for each of your onFocus event on your inputs:

_scrollToInput (event, reactNode) {
  // Add a 'scroll' ref to your ScrollView
  this.refs.scroll.scrollToFocusedInput(event, reactNode)
}

<KeyboardAwareScrollView ref='scroll'>
  <View>
    <TextInput ref='myInput' onFocus={this._scrollToInput}/>
  </View>
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>

Register to keyboard events

You can register to ScrollViewResponder events onKeyboardWillShow and onKeyboardWillHide:

<KeyboardAwareScrollView
  onKeyboardWillShow={(frames: Object) => {
    console.log('Keyboard event', frames)
  }}>
  <View>
    <TextInput />
  </View>
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>
