Usage

A basic demo:

import { Component, View, Text, TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native'

import ModalFilterPicker from 'react-native-modal-filter-picker'


export default class App extends Component {
  constructor (props, ctx) {
    super(props, ctx);

    this.state = {
      visible: false,
      picked: null,
    };
  }

  render() {
    const { visible, picked } = this.state;

    const options = [
      {
        key: 'kenya',
        label: 'Kenya',
      },
      {
        key: 'uganda',
        label: 'Uganda',
      },
      {
        key: 'libya',
        label: 'Libya',
      },
      {
        key: 'morocco',
        label: 'Morocco',
      },
      {
        key: 'estonia',
        label: 'Estonia',
      },
    ];

    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <TouchableOpacity style={styles.buttonContainer} onPress={this.onShow}>
          <Text>Select country</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>      
        <Text style={appStyles.label}>Selected:</Text>
        <Text>{picked}</Text>
        <ModalFilterPicker
          visible={visible}
          onSelect={this.onSelect}
          onCancel={this.onCancel}
          options={options}
        />
      </View>
    );
  }

  onShow = () => {
    this.setState({ visible: true });
  }

  onSelect = (picked) => {
    this.setState({
      picked: picked,
      visible: false
    })
  }

  onCancel = () => {
    this.setState({
      visible: false
    });
  }
}

Options

The following functionality props can be passed to the component:

Prop name Type Default Description
options Array of { key, label } (required) The options to display in the list
onSelect function (key) {} (required) Callback for when an option is chosen
onCancel function () {} (required) Callback for when the cancel button is pressed
placeholderText String "Filter..." Placeholder text for filter input text field
placeholderTextColor String "#ccc" Color of placeholder text for filter input text field
androidUnderlineColor String "rgba(0,0,0,0)" Android text underline color of filter input text field
cancelButtonText String "Cancel" Cancel button text
title String null Title text which appears above options list
noResultsText String "No matches" Text to show when there are no results for filter
visible Boolean true Whether to show modal or not. This allows you to control when the picker is shown and/or hidden.
showFilter Boolean true Whether to show filter text field field or not
modal Object null Options to pass to native Modal component
selectedOption String null The currently selected option, to visually differentiate it from others
listViewProps Object null Properties to pass to the rendered ListView
renderOption function (option, isSelected) {} null Custom option renderer
renderList function () {} null Custom option list renderer
renderCancelButton function () {} null Custom cancel button renderer
keyboardShouldPersistTaps never/always/handle never Determines when the keyboard should stay visible after a tap. If never, tapping outside of the focused text input when the keyboard is up dismisses the keyboard. When this happens, children won't receive the tap. If always, the keyboard will not dismiss automatically, and the scroll view will not catch taps, but children of the scroll view can catch taps. If handled, the keyboard will not dismiss automatically when the tap was handled by a children, (or captured by an ancestor).
autoFocus Boolean false If true, focuses the input on componentDidMount().

In addition, the following styling props (each of which must be an Object consisting of styles) can be passed in:

Prop name Description
overlayStyle Style for the background modal overlay
listContainerStyle Style for the View wrapping the options list
filterTextInputContainerStyle Style for the View wrapping the filter input text field
filterTextInputStyle Style for the filter input text field
cancelContainerStyle Style for the View wrapping the cancel button
cancelButtonStyle Style for the cancel button button face
cancelButtonTextStyle Style for the cancel button text
titleTextStyle Style for the title text
optionTextStyle Style for the option text

Advanced filtering

By default the filter input field allows you to filter by the option label
that's displayed on the screen.

But you can also attach a searchKey attribute to
each option for the filtering algorithm to use. For example, we can allow the
user to filter by continent as
well as country name, even though we don't display the continent name:

render() {
  const { visible } = this.state;

  const options = [
    {
      key: 'kenya',
      label: 'Kenya',
      searchKey: 'Africa',
    },
    {
      key: 'uganda',
      label: 'Uganda',
      searchKey: 'Africa',
    },
    {
      key: 'libya',
      label: 'Libya',
      searchKey: 'Africa',
    },
    {
      key: 'japan',
      label: 'Japan',
      searchKey: 'Asia',
    },
    {
      key: 'estonia',
      label: 'Estonia',
      searchKey: 'Europe',
    },
  ];

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <ModalFilterPicker
        onSelect={this.onSelect}
        onCancel={this.onCancel}
        options={options}
      />
    </View>
  );
}

If you run the above example, you will be able to type africa into the filter
input field to see all the countries within Africa.

Note: Filtering is case-insensitive
