Usage
To use the PickerField
in markup you need to:
- If you are developing a NativeScript Core app, you need to register the plugin namespace in the xml:
<Page
xmlns="http://schemas.nativescript.org/tns.xsd"
xmlns:picker="nativescript-picker">
<picker:PickerField hint="Click here" items="{{ pickerItems }}"/>
...
- If you are developing a NativeScript Angular app, you need to import the plugin module in the module of your component:
import { NativeScriptPickerModule } from "nativescript-picker/angular";
...
@NgModule({
imports: [
NativeScriptPickerModule,
...
],
...
Then you will be able to declare the fields in the html of your component:
<PickerField hint="Click here" [items]="pickerItems"></PickerField>
- If you are developing a NativeScript Vue app, you need to install the plugin in you app.js file:
import Vue from "nativescript-vue";
import { PickerField } from 'nativescript-picker/vue';
Vue.use(PickerField);
Then you will be able to declare the fields in the template of your component:
<PickerField hint="Click here"></PickerField>
Features
PickerField
The PickerField
is a NativeScript TextField
which means that any functionality the default TextField
provides is also available in the PickerField
component. The only difference is that by design it is in "read-only" mode, or simply put you cannot change its text by input or select that text. Changing the text of the PickerField
is done by its main functionality which is opening a modal popup that shows a list of objects from which you can select one by tapping it.

PickerField
The PickerField

also opens a modal window containing a Page element that contains an ActionBar and a ListView. This Page element can be targeted with the PickerPage
selector and through it style all picker modals with selectors like PickerPage ActionBar
and PickerPage ListView
. In addition to that, if you set a class on the PickerField, it will be transferred on the PickerPage
and with it you can style individual modals.
