This extra spacing basically represents the width that each image slides (eg. 300) | | fullWidth* | boolean | false | Option that makes the image show it's full width in the animation, by using the Image.getSize from React-Native (later calculated to keep the screens ratio), and if true it will override the extraSpacing if it's set | | progressBarColor | string | null | Option to change progress bar color | | showProgressBar | boolean | true | Option to show or hide progress bar | | progressBarDirection | string | null | Three options (fromLeft, fromRight, middle - null) | | slideDirection | string | "even" | Direction of the each slide animation. Values are "even", "odd", "left", "right". Basically even means first slide goes from left-to-right, second slide goes from right-to-left and so on. Odd is opposite, left means all slides com from left-to-right and right means all slides come from right-to-left | | | footerStyle | style | null | Footer titles style | | titleStyle | style | null | Footer titles style | | textStyle | style | null | Footer text style | | renderItem | func | null | Complete control of the rendered item, with one object param with 3 params ({ item, index, focusedIndex }) | | renderFooter | func | null | Complete control of the footer, with one object param with 5 params ({ item, index, focusedIndex, defaultStyle, animation }) the animation param is an object with the following { titleTranslateY, textTranslateY, opacity } | | renderIcon | func | null | Complete control of the icon rendered in the footer, with on param ({ snapToNext }) function to snap immediately to the next slide | | renderCloseIcon | func | null | Complete control of the close icon rendered in the "header", with on param ({ wrapperStyle, imageStyle, onPress }) style used in the view with icon, style for the icon, and the onPress function that is passed | | onClose | func | null | Function that is triggered when the close icon is clicked |

Items Properties

| Property | Type | Description | | ------------ | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | uri | string/number | The image url or number (if local image, the require returns a number instead) | | title | string | The slide item's title | | text | string | The slide item's text or description | | duration | number | The individual slide time, this way you can customize individually how much time each slide can appear on screen | | direction | string | The individual slide direction animation, Values are "even", "odd", "left", "right" | | extraSpacing | number | The individual slide extra spacing, this way you can define how much width the image can slide on screen | | fullWidth* | boolean | The individual slide width, if true the Image.getSize from React-Native will calculate the image's full width (later calculated to keep the screens ratio), and if true it will override the extraSpacing if it's set |
