pulldown list capacitor plugin for iOS

a capacitor plugin that provides a native iOS pull-down list implementation using SwiftUI and UIKit. this plugin is using Apple's SF Symbols library for icons. if you need help implementing this feel free to DM!

note: this plugin is still work in progress, i might be releasing more native implementations to use within your beautiful react apps with that native feel!

installation

npm install capacitor-native-pulldown
npx cap sync

usage

import the PulldownList plugin and see the calling methods in docs bellow :)

basic react component example

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { PulldownList } from 'capacitor-native-pulldown';

const App = () => {
  
  const onShow = async () => {
    // this emits the coordinates to render your pulldown natively in ios
    await PulldownList.show({ x: 50, y: 100 });
  }

  useEffect(() => {
    await PulldownList.setContent([
      { id: 'voleume-off', title: 'Volume Off', icon: 'speaker.wave.2.fill' },
      { id: 'add-to-favourites', title: 'Add to Favourites', icon: 'star.fill' }
    ]);

    PulldownList.addListener('itemSelected', (item) => {
      // listen for changes on the dropdown
      console.log(item)
    });

    return () => console.log("forgot to implement removeListener(). will fix lol")
  }, [])

  return (
    <div onClick={onShow}>
      <h1>Settings</h1>
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

API

setContent(items: PulldownListItem[]): Promise<void>;

sets the content of the pull-down list with an array of items.

parameters

• items: an array of objects representing the items in the pull-down list. each object should contain the following properties:
  • id (string): a unique identifier for the item.
  • title (string): the text to display for the item.
  • icon (string, optional): the SF Symbols icon name to display alongside the item's text (e.g., 'speaker.wave.2.fill').

show(options: ShowOptions): Promise<void>

displays the pull-down list and sets its position on the screen.

parameters

• options: an object containing the x and y coordinates (numeric) that represent the position of the pull-down list on the screen.

setPosition(x: number, y: number): Promise<void>

sets the position of the pull-down list on the screen.

note: this method is not needed in the current implementation, as the position is set in the show() method. i'll probably remove or implement this later.

addListener(eventName: 'itemSelected', listenerFunc: (item: PulldownListItem) => void): PluginListenerHandle;

adds a listener to handle the 'itemSelected' event. use this to receive information about the selected item when a user selects an item within the pull-down list.

parameters

• eventName: the event name string 'itemSelected'.
• listenerFunc: a function that will be called when the 'itemSelected' event is triggered. it receives the selected item as a parameter.
