react-native-navigation-drawer-extension
React Native Navigation by Wix does not offer an in-built solution for displaying a drawer on iOS. Their current side-menu has limited functionality on both iOS and Android. This is a drawer solution using showOverlay under the hood to display a drawer on iOS and Android.
If you are using React Native Navigation >= 3.0.0 then use version 3.x.x + of this library.
Install
npm install react-native-navigation-drawer-extension --save
or
yarn add react-native-navigation-drawer-extension
Usage
You need to register your drawer component with RNN. To do this use the register method and wrap your component in the RNNDrawer HOC.
import { Navigation } from "react-native-navigation";
import { RNNDrawer } from "react-native-navigation-drawer-extension";
// register our drawer component with RNN
Navigation.registerComponent("CustomDrawer", () => RNNDrawer.create(CustomDrawer));
You can then use the drawer by calling a custom method. The showDrawer
method
will take a single parameter options
identical to showOverlay
.
import { RNNDrawer } from "react-native-navigation-drawer-extension";
RNNDrawer.showDrawer({
component: {
name: "CustomDrawer",
passProps: {
animationOpenTime: 300,
animationCloseTime: 300,
direction: "left",
dismissWhenTouchOutside: true,
fadeOpacity: 0.6,
drawerScreenWidth: "75%" || 445, // Use relative to screen '%' or absolute
drawerScreenHeight: "100%" || 700,
style: { // Styles the drawer container, supports any react-native style
backgroundColor: "red",
},
parentComponentId: props.componentId, // Custom prop, will be available in your custom drawer component props
},
}
});
RNNDrawer.dismissDrawer();
To navigate from the drawer you must pass the parent componentId
and use that to navigate. e.g:
// From drawer component
Navigation.push(parentComponentId, {
component: {
name: "CustomScreenFromDrawer",
},
});
There's a complete and functional example at the example
folder, with more thorough explanation on each method.
Props
The props below are used to configure the drawer and are to be used in RNN passProps:
. Any aditional
props will be passed to your custom drawer component.
Prop | Type | Optional | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
animationOpenTime | float | Yes | 300 | Time in milliseconds to execute the drawer opening animation. |
animationCloseTime | float | Yes | 300 | Time in milliseconds to execute the drawer closing animation. |
direction | string | Yes | left | Direction to open the collage, one of: ["left", "right", "top", "bottom"]. |
dismissWhenTouchOutside | bool | Yes | true | Should the drawer be dismissed when a click is registered outside? |
fadeOpacity | number | Yes | 0.6 | Opacity of the screen outside the drawer. |
drawerScreenWidth | number | Yes | 0.8 | 0 - 1, width of drawer in relation to the screen. |
drawerScreenHeight | number | Yes | 1 | 0 - 1, height of drawer in relation to the screen. |
SideMenuView
The library also exposes a component which will allow you to open the drawer by either swiping the left or right gutter of the phone. This is achieved by using event listeners
to communicate with the RNNDrawer HOC component. To enable this feature wrap your screen with the SideMenuView
component. <SideMenuView>
is just an enhanced <View>
all props are passed down to <View>
.
import { SideMenuView } from "react-native-navigation-drawer-extension";
<SideMenuView
style={{ flex: 1 }}
drawerName={'CustomDrawer'}
direction={'right'}
passProps={{
animationOpenTime: 300,
animationCloseTime: 300,
dismissWhenTouchOutside: true,
fadeOpacity: 0.6,
drawerScreenWidth: '75%',
drawerScreenHeight: '100%',
parentComponentId: props.componentId,
style: {
backgroundColor: 'white',
},
}}
options={{
layout: {
componentBackgroundColor: 'transparent',
}
>
{...}
</SideMenuView>
