Description
Currently, react-native provides RefreshControl out of the box. (Which uses standard circle android animation). https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/refreshcontrol.html.
However, it is not 'yet' possible to override the animation that runs during refreshing phase. This package aims to fill this gap and provide a 'relatively' easy way to add your own custom animation.
Installation
- Install the package using either:
$ npm install --save react-native-pull-refresh # or $ yarn add react-native-pull-refresh
- Install and link the Lottie package (renders Adobe After Effect animations): https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-react-native
yarn add lottie-react-native # or npm i --save lottie-react-native react-native link lottie-react-native
Usage
This code is taken from examples/SimpleAnimations/weatherAnimation
sample
You can find < Header />
and < ScrollItem />
components in the sample folder
import PullToRefresh from 'react-native-pull-refresh'; export default class weatherAnimation extends Component { constructor( ) { super( ); this.state = { isRefreshing: false, }; } onRefresh() { this.setState({isRefreshing: true}); // Simulate fetching data from the server setTimeout(() => { this.setState({isRefreshing: false}); }, 5000); } render() { return ( <View style={{flex:1}}> <Header/> <View style={{flex: 7, backgroundColor: '#F8F4FC'}}> <PullToRefresh isRefreshing= {this.state.isRefreshing} onRefresh= {this.onRefresh.bind(this)} animationBackgroundColor = {'#564A63'} pullHeight = {180} contentView = { <ScrollView> <ScrollItem/> <ScrollItem/> <ScrollItem/> <ScrollItem/> <ScrollItem/> <ScrollItem/> <ScrollItem/> <ScrollItem/> <ScrollItem/> </ScrollView> } onPullAnimationSrc ={require('./umbrella_pull.json')} onStartRefreshAnimationSrc ={require('./umbrella_start.json')} onRefreshAnimationSrc = {require('./umbrella_repeat.json')} onEndRefreshAnimationSrc = {require('./umbrella_end.json')} /> </View> </View> ); } }
Animation Files Format
Lottie JSON - https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-react-native
Lottie is a mobile library, developed by AirBnB for Android and iOS that parses Adobe After Effects animations exported as JSON with bodymovin and renders them natively on mobile.
Lottie allows to easily use animations in react-native apps. You just need to create an animation in Adobe After Effects and export it with bodymovin addon to AE https://github.com/bodymovin/bodymovin.
You can find file examples in examples/SimpleAnimations/animations
folder
