Usage

Get started with react-swipeable-views in no time.

Simple example

Browser

import React from 'react';
import SwipeableViews from 'react-swipeable-views';

const styles = {
  slide: {
    padding: 15,
    minHeight: 100,
    color: '#fff',
  },
  slide1: {
    background: '#FEA900',
  },
  slide2: {
    background: '#B3DC4A',
  },
  slide3: {
    background: '#6AC0FF',
  },
};

const MyComponent = () => (
  <SwipeableViews>
    <div style={Object.assign({}, styles.slide, styles.slide1)}>
      slide n°1
    </div>
    <div style={Object.assign({}, styles.slide, styles.slide2)}>
      slide n°2
    </div>
    <div style={Object.assign({}, styles.slide, styles.slide3)}>
      slide n°3
    </div>
  </SwipeableViews>
);

export default MyComponent;

Native (experimental)

react-native support is experimental and I have no plan pushing it forward. I start to think that lower level abstraction to share the implementation between the platforms are more appropriate. We have two different implementations of the react-swipeable-views API.

import React from 'react';
import {
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View,
} from 'react-native';

import SwipeableViews from 'react-swipeable-views-native';
// There is another version using the scroll component instead of animated.
// I'm unsure which one give the best UX. Please give us some feedback.
// import SwipeableViews from 'react-swipeable-views-native/lib/SwipeableViews.scroll';

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  slideContainer: {
    height: 100,
  },
  slide: {
    padding: 15,
    height: 100,
  },
  slide1: {
    backgroundColor: '#FEA900',
  },
  slide2: {
    backgroundColor: '#B3DC4A',
  },
  slide3: {
    backgroundColor: '#6AC0FF',
  },
  text: {
    color: '#fff',
    fontSize: 16,
  },
});

const MyComponent = () => (
  <SwipeableViews style={styles.slideContainer}>
    <View style={[styles.slide, styles.slide1]}>
      <Text style={styles.text}>
        slide n°1
      </Text>
    </View>
    <View style={[styles.slide, styles.slide2]}>
      <Text style={styles.text}>
        slide n°2
      </Text>
    </View>
    <View style={[styles.slide, styles.slide3]}>
      <Text style={styles.text}>
        slide n°3
      </Text>
    </View>
  </SwipeableViews>
);

export default MyComponent;

Example with virtualize

The infinite feature is provided thanks to a higher order component. It's working independently of the targeted platform. You can have a look at Demo 8 to see it in action. It's highly inspired by react-virtualized. Let's see an example with the browser:

import React from 'react';
import SwipeableViews from 'react-swipeable-views';
import { virtualize } from 'react-swipeable-views-utils';

const VirtualizeSwipeableViews = virtualize(SwipeableViews);

const slideRenderer = ({key, index}) => (
  <div key={key}>
    {`slide n°${index + 1}`}
  </div>
);

const MyComponent = () => (
  <VirtualizeSwipeableViews slideRenderer={slideRenderer} />
);

export default MyComponent;

Example with autoPlay

The auto play feature is provided thanks to a higher order component. It's working independently of the targeted platform. You can have a look at Demo 7 to see it in action. Let's see an example with the browser:

import React from 'react';
import SwipeableViews from 'react-swipeable-views';
import { autoPlay } from 'react-swipeable-views-utils';

const AutoPlaySwipeableViews = autoPlay(SwipeableViews);

const MyComponent = () => (
  <AutoPlaySwipeableViews>
    <div>slide n°1</div>
    <div>slide n°2</div>
    <div>slide n°3</div>
  </AutoPlaySwipeableViews>
);

export default MyComponent;

Example with bindKeyboard

The keyboard navigation feature is provided thanks to a higher order component. You can have a look at Demo 9 to see it in action. Let's see an example with the browser:

import React from 'react';
import SwipeableViews from 'react-swipeable-views';
import { bindKeyboard } from 'react-swipeable-views-utils';

const BindKeyboardSwipeableViews = bindKeyboard(SwipeableViews);

const MyComponent = () => (
  <BindKeyboardSwipeableViews>
    <div>slide n°1</div>
    <div>slide n°2</div>
    <div>slide n°3</div>
  </BindKeyboardSwipeableViews>
);

export default MyComponent;

API

You can find the API documentation section online.

Composition of HOCs

The composition order of the HOCs matters. The virtualize HOC needs to be the first one called. For instance:

// creates a function that invokes the given functions from right to left.
import flowRight from 'lodash/flowRight';

const EnhancedSwipeableViews = flowRight(
  bindKeyboard,
  autoPlay,
  virtualized,
)(SwipeableViews);

Performance on browser

Having 60 FPS is critical for this type of component. We are rendering the slides at each request animation frame. That has one specific implication for package users. You need to add a pure logic in the slides components if your render method is expensive.

The performance is not as good as they could be if we were using a data binding to update the styles. However, the implementation is simpler.
