React Native | ScrollView Component

Hello React Friends,

The React Native ScrollView lets users move up and down or side to side through content they wouldn’t otherwise be able to see. Scrolling lets users access more content than just what fits on the screen. That’s why it’s important when making designs that show lots of changing information.

Regardless of what you’re showing, whether it’s a long list of items, a complex form, or detailed information, the ScrollView helps users switch between all of it with ease.

Users have a better time with the interface since they can move right through the data without much effort, letting them find and touch everything they need on their own.

This blog will investigate every feature and usage scenario of the React Native Scroll View component while specifying successful implementation methods.

ScrollView props:

You can alter how a ScrollView works and what it looks like using different props. Some of the commonly used props include:

contentContainerStyle:

This tool helps you set styles for the content area of your ScrollView. Use this property to modify padding, margin, alignment settings, and more to control how your scroll view contents appear.

horizontal:

The scroll view moves content sideways when you set this option to true.

showsHorizontalScrollIndicator:

When you enable this property, the scroll indicator displays the current viewing position horizontally.

showsVerticalScrollIndicator:

When enabled the vertical scroll indicator shows where the content appears on the scroll view.

onScroll:

You can tell the Scroll View to run a specific function when users scroll through it. The function gets information from the scroll event object to show you the current scroll position.

scrollEnabled:

Set scrollEnabled to false to block scrolling in the ScrollView.

scrollEventThrottle:

When you set this property, the system triggers the onScroll event only after a specific amount of scrolling. It tells us when scroll events must occur at least one second apart.

pagingEnabled:

If pagingEnabled is enabled, the ScrollView will shift to each screen as you scroll like it’s paging through photos.

keyboardDismissMode:

It decides if the keyboard closes when you scroll. Three options for scrolling actions are available: no swipe, activate when you drag and interact via touch.

refreshControl:

The refreshControl prop lets you add a pull-to-refresh option to your ScrollView. You can attach RefreshControl components when you want to bring this behavior into your application.

Example of React Native ScrollView Component:

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

const ScrollViewExample = () => {
return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <ScrollView contentContainerStyle={styles.scrollViewContent}>
        <Text style={styles.text}>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut vehicula lectus id nisi blandit, non tempus nulla blandit. Integer et dapibus dolor. Duis sed tortor quis justo fermentum efficitur.</Text>
        <Text style={styles.text}>Sed sagittis varius massa, et fringilla ligula lacinia sit amet. Cras ultricies lectus sit amet ligula finibus, eget aliquam odio suscipit. Sed fermentum posuere nisi, sit amet gravida justo vehicula vitae. Vestibulum gravida efficitur erat, ac pellentesque nulla tristique vitae.</Text>
        <Text style={styles.text}>Praesent vel turpis suscipit, iaculis metus non, aliquet quam. Nullam porttitor ultricies erat, sit amet feugiat nisl tincidunt eu. Sed vehicula, libero nec finibus consectetur, dolor libero vehicula nisi, et suscipit odio sapien vel lectus. Duis eget nunc nec velit euismod rhoncus. Morbi vel arcu sem. </Text>
      </ScrollView>
    </View>
  );
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    padding: 20,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
  scrollViewContent: {
    paddingVertical: 20,
  },
  text: {
    fontSize: 16,
    marginBottom: 10,
  },
});
export default ScrollViewExample;
