Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Example app and usage

Feel free to test Snack Expo demo or run the included demo app locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/mxmzb/react-native-gesture-detector.git
$ cd react-native-gesture-detector/example
$ yarn
$ yarn start

Check the code for the screens to see how they are done!

Intro

This package originated from a real life need to detect custom gestures. The idea for implementation originated from this stellar answer on StackOverflow. The result is not 100% foolproof, but rock solid, performant and extremely simple to use.

The package comes with another, insanely cool component GestureRecorder, which allows you to create gestures on the fly. Yep, just plug it in, paint the gesture and you will receive the coordinate data for your supercomplex, custom gesture. You can use it to just use the data points as a predefined gesture in your app, or you can even let your app users create their own custom gestures, if that fits your game plan!

Because the library significantly uses React hooks, you must use at least [email protected].

Installation

$ yarn add react-native-gesture-detector
$ yarn add react-native-gesture-handler lodash # install peer dependencies

Quickstart

import GestureDetector, {
  GestureRecorder,
  GesturePath,
  Cursor,
} from "react-native-gesture-detector";

const gestures = {
  // this will result in the gesture shown in the first demo give above
  Coil: [
    { x: 10, y: -30 }, // This is a coordinate object
    { x: 25, y: -15 },
    { x: 40, y: -10 },
    { x: 55, y: -15 },
    { x: 70, y: -30 },
    { x: 85, y: -45 },
    { x: 90, y: -65 },
    { x: 85, y: -85 },
    { x: 70, y: -100 },
    { x: 55, y: -115 },
    { x: 40, y: -130 },
    { x: 20, y: -130 },
    { x: 0, y: -130 },
    { x: -20, y: -130 },
    { x: -35, y: -115 },
    { x: -50, y: -100 },
    { x: -65, y: -85 },
    { x: -80, y: -70 },
    { x: -80, y: -55 },
    { x: -80, y: -30 },
    { x: -80, y: -15 },
    { x: -80, y: 0 },
    { x: -65, y: 15 },
    { x: -50, y: 30 },
    { x: -35, y: 45 },
    { x: -20, y: 60 },
    { x: 0, y: 65 },
    { x: 20, y: 70 },
    { x: 40, y: 70 },
  ],
};

const CoilExample = () => (
  <GestureDetector
    onGestureFinish={(gesture) => console.log(`Gesture "${gesture}" finished!`)}
    onProgress={({ gesture, progress }) => {
      console.log(`Gesture: ${gesture}, progress: ${progress}`);
    }}
    onPanRelease={() => {
      console.log("User released finger!");
    }}
    gestures={gestures}
    slopRadius={35}
  >
    {({ coordinate }) => (
      <View style={{ position: "relative", width: "100%", height: "100%" }}>
        <GesturePath path={gestures["Coil"]} color="green" slopRadius={35} />
        {coordinate && <Cursor {...coordinate} />}
      </View>
    )}
  </GestureDetector>
);

const RecordGestureExample = () => {
  // finishedGesture will look like gestures["Coil"] from the top
  const [finishedGesture, setFinishedGesture] = useState([]);

  return (
    <GestureRecorder onPanRelease={(gesture) => setFinishedGesture(gesture)}>
      {({ gesture }) => (
        <View style={{ position: "relative", width: "100%", height: "100%" }}>
          <GesturePath path={gesture} color="green" slopRadius={35} />
        </View>
      )}
    </GestureRecorder>
  );
};

Documentation and API

GestureDetector

GestureDetector is a render props component. The child function has the form children({ coordinate: { x: number, y: number } })

| Prop | Default | Type | Description | | :---------------- | :-----------------------------: | :---------------------------------------------: | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | slopRadius | 50 | number | The radius in px from a coordinate. The resulting circle is the area in which the user can move the finger | | gestures | {} | { [key: string]: [{ x: number, y: number }] } | An object with one or more gestures. A gesture is an array of { x, y } objects, which symbolize the exact coordinates you want the user to pass | | onProgress | ({ progress, gesture }) => {} | function | A callback, which is called on each predefined gesture coordinate passed by the user. | | onGestureFinish | (gesture) => {} | function | A callback, which is called when the user finishes a gesture. Receives the gesture key of the finished gesture. | | onPanRelease | () => {} | function | Callback, when the user releases the finger. Receives no arguments. |

GestureRecorder

GestureRecorder is a render props component. The child function has the form children({ gesture: [{ x: string, y: string }, { x: string, y: string }, ...], gestureDirectionHistory: [{ x: string, y: string }, { x: string, y: string }, ...], offset: { x: number, y: number } }).

gesture is an array of coordinates. They are generated based on the pointDistance prop of the component.

gestureDirectionHistory will tell you accordingly to gesture which direction the gesture is moving there. This might give somewhat unreliable data currently. A direction object looks like { x: "left", y: "up" }.

offset will artificially add an horizontal and vertical offset to the coordinates. This does not change the detection of the defined gesture at all. It's just a helper to use with the GesturePath component to paint the path where you actually draw. Check the GestureRecorder example screen for more details on this.

| Prop | Default | Type | Description | | :-------------- | :---------------: | :--------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | pointDistance | 20 | number | The minimum distance between points that you want to be recorded. So default wise, every 20px (or more, usually depending on the phone hardware and the speed of the finger moving over the display) the component will add another point to the gesture array | | onCapture | () => {} | function | A callback, which is called every time the component is adding a coordinate to the gesture array | | onPanRelease | (gesture) => {} | function | Callback, when the user releases the finger. Receives the fully drawn gesture in form of a coordinate array. |

GesturePath

GesturePath is a helper component, which paints a gesture visually in a container. The container should have position: absolute; set in its style property. { x, y } is a coordinate object. An array of coordinate objects must be passed to paint the gesture on the screen. This component should be only used in development to define and refine gestures.

| Prop | Default | Type | Description | | :----------- | :-----: | :------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | path | [] | array | An array of coordinates to paint the gesture | | slopRadius | 50 | number | The radius around each coordinate, in which the user touch event will be associated with the gesture (or rather the radius of the circle being painted for each coordinate, as this whole component has no functionality really and is purely visual) | | color | black | string | A string of a valid CSS color property |

Cursor

Paints a black, round indicator at the passed coordinate. The only useful situation is in development and you probably will use it like this, where coordinate is passed from the GestureDetector render props function:

{coordinate && <Cursor {...coordinate} />}

| Prop | Default | Type | Description | | :----------- | :-----------------------------------------: | :------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | x | 0 | number | The coordinate of the absolute center of the cursor relatively to the parent container. | | y | 0 | number | The coordinate of the absolute center of the cursor relatively to the parent container. | | throttleMs | 50 in dev build, 25 in production build | number | A performance optimization. Sets the time delay between each rerender of the repositioned cursor. You probably don't want to touch this. |
