How to use it

First step: import the component:

import { FloatingAction } from 'react-native-floating-action';

Second step: define the buttons

  const actions = [{
    text: 'Accessibility',
    icon: require('./images/ic_accessibility_white.png'),
    name: 'bt_accessibility',
    position: 2
  }, {
    text: 'Language',
    icon: require('./images/ic_language_white.png'),
    name: 'bt_language',
    position: 1
  }, {
    text: 'Location',
    icon: require('./images/ic_room_white.png'),
    name: 'bt_room',
    position: 3
  }, {
    text: 'Video',
    icon: require('./images/ic_videocam_white.png'),
    name: 'bt_videocam',
    position: 4
  }];

Third step: use it

    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text style={styles.example}>
        Floating Action example
      </Text>
      <FloatingAction
        actions={actions}
        onPressItem={
          (name) => {
            console.log(`selected button: ${name}`);
          }
        }
      />
    </View>

Open and hide it programatically

There are some cases where you want to show or hide the component without pressing the main button:

<FloatingAction
  ref={(ref) => { this.floatingAction = ref; }}
  actions={[...]}
  ...
/>

and then:

this.floatingAction.animateButton();
