React Native Parallax Swiper

Configurable parallax swiper based on an iOS pattern.

Features

• Flexible. Pass your own Animated.Value and use that value for both ParallaxSwiper and your own UI.
• Performant. Leverages useNativeDriver for 60FPS and no latency.
• Cross-platform. Implement your parallax on both iOS and Android.

Examples

Check out the GIF examples above via Expo. Or clone this repo and:

$ cd examples/ParallaxSwiperExample
$ npm install
$ react-native link
$ react-native run-ios

Installation

$ npm install react-native-parallax-swiper --save

Usage

import { ParallaxSwiper, ParallaxSwiperPage } from 'react-native-parallax-swiper';

constructor() {
  super();

  this.myCustomAnimatedValue = new Animated.Value(0);
}

<ParallaxSwiper
  speed={0.25}
  animatedValue={this.myCustomAnimatedValue}
  dividerWidth={8}
  dividerColor="black"
  backgroundColor="#fff"
  onMomentumScrollEnd={activePageIndex => console.log(activePageIndex)}
>
  <ParallaxSwiperPage
    BackgroundComponent={<FireVideoComponent />}
    ForegroundComponent={<SickUI />}
  />
  <ParallaxSwiperPage
    BackgroundComponent={<FireVideoComponent />}
    ForegroundComponent={<SickUI />}
  />
  <ParallaxSwiperPage
    BackgroundComponent={<FireVideoComponent />}
    ForegroundComponent={<SickUI />}
  />
</ParallaxSwiper>

ParallaxSwiper Props

Prop	Type	Default	Description
speed	Number	0.25	This number determines how fast BackgroundComponent moves. Set to 0 for no movement at all, set to 1 and background will move as fast as the scroll.
dividerWidth	Number	8	The width of the divider between each page. (horizontal only)
dividerColor	String	black	Color of divider.
backgroundColor	String	black	ParallaxSwiper’s background color.
scrollToIndex	Function	0	Scrolls to index with a smooth animation. If used onComponentDidMount scroll is immediate with no animation.
onMomentumScrollEnd	Function	N/A	Fired when ScrollView stops scrolling and is passed the current page index.
animatedValue	Number (Animated.Value)	0	Optionally pass a new instance of Animated.Value to access the animated value outside of ParallaxSwiper.
vertical	Boolean	false	When true, ParallaxSwiper’s children are arranged vertically in a column instead of horizontally in a row. For now only iOS supports this.
showsHorizontalScrollIndicator	Boolean	false	When true, shows a horizontal scroll indicator. The default value is false.
showsVerticalScrollIndicator	Boolean	false	When true, shows a vertical scroll indicator. The default value is false.
children	React component (ParallaxSwiperPage)	N/A	Each top-level ParallaxSwiperPage child.

ParallaxSwiperPage Props

Prop	Type	Default	Description
BackgroundComponent	React element	N/A	This component will render in the background of the page and will be animated based on scroll.
ForegroundComponent	React element	N/A	This component will render in the foreground of the page.

TODO

• Create Expo demos
• Create examples
• Expose current index
• Support scrollToIndex
• Fix Android
• Expose Animated.Value for animation outside of ParallaxSwiper
• Add drag effects e.g. zoom, blur, darken
• Expose rest of ScrollView props
• Use FlatList instead of ScrollView

Why another parallax component? 😒

This component is inspired by an iOS pattern that no react-native-parallax-whatever previously delivered. It emulates this pattern by using the ScrollView component which has features like velocity, paging, and platform specific easing curves; It also has optional dividers to split up each page. You can see this pattern in apps like iOS Camera Roll, Twitter Moments, Kylie Jenner’s app, Vevo’s app, and more.
