React Native Draggable FlatList

A drag-and-drop-enabled FlatList component for React Native.
Fully native interactions powered by Reanimated and React Native Gesture Handler.

To use swipeable list items in a DraggableFlatList see React Native Swipeable Item.

npm install --save react-native-draggable-flatlist

with yarn:

yarn add react-native-draggable-flatlist

Api

Props

All props are spread onto underlying FlatList

Name	Type	Description
data	T[]	Items to be rendered.
horizontal	boolean	Orientation of list.
renderItem	(params: { item: T, index: number, drag: () => void, isActive: boolean}) => JSX.Element	Call drag when the row should become active (i.e. in an onLongPress or onPressIn).
renderPlaceholder	(params: { item: T, index: number }) => React.ReactNode	Component to be rendered underneath the hovering component
keyExtractor	(item: T, index: number) => string	Unique key for each item
onDragBegin	(index: number) => void	Called when row becomes active.
onRelease	(index: number) => void	Called when active row touch ends.
onDragEnd	(params: { data: T[], from: number, to: number }) => void	Called after animation has completed. Returns updated ordering of data
autoscrollThreshold	number	Distance from edge of container where list begins to autoscroll when dragging.
autoscrollSpeed	number	Determines how fast the list autoscrolls.
onRef	(ref: React.RefObject<DraggableFlatList<T>>) => void	Returns underlying Animated FlatList ref.
animationConfig	Partial<Animated.SpringConfig>	Configure list animations. See reanimated spring config
activationDistance	number	Distance a finger must travel before the gesture handler activates. Useful when using a draggable list within a TabNavigator so that the list does not capture navigator gestures.
layoutInvalidationKey	string	Changing this value forces a remeasure of all item layouts. Useful if item size/ordering updates after initial mount.
onScrollOffsetChange	(offset: number) => void	Called with scroll offset. Stand-in for onScroll.
onPlaceholderIndexChange	(index: number) => void	Called when the index of the placeholder changes
dragItemOverflow	boolean	If true, dragged item follows finger beyond list boundary.

Example

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { View, TouchableOpacity, Text } from "react-native";
import DraggableFlatList from "react-native-draggable-flatlist";

const exampleData = [...Array(20)].map((d, index) => ({
  key: `item-${index}`, // For example only -- don't use index as your key!
  label: index,
  backgroundColor: `rgb(${Math.floor(Math.random() * 255)}, ${index *
    5}, ${132})`
}));

class Example extends Component {
  state = {
    data: exampleData
  };

  renderItem = ({ item, index, drag, isActive }) => {
    return (
      <TouchableOpacity
        style={{
          height: 100,
          backgroundColor: isActive ? "blue" : item.backgroundColor,
          alignItems: "center",
          justifyContent: "center"
        }}
        onLongPress={drag}
      >
        <Text
          style={{
            fontWeight: "bold",
            color: "white",
            fontSize: 32
          }}
        >
          {item.label}
        </Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    );
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
        <DraggableFlatList
          data={this.state.data}
          renderItem={this.renderItem}
          keyExtractor={(item, index) => `draggable-item-${item.key}`}
          onDragEnd={({ data }) => this.setState({ data })}
        />
      </View>
    );
  }
}
