React Native ListView
Here is an example of React Native Add Header Footer in ListView / FlatList. As the topic name describes we will add the header and footer in FlatList. To add header and footer in FlatList we will use ListHeaderComponent
and ListFooterComponent
props of the FlatList same as we use ItemSeparatorComponent
while adding FlatList Item Separator.
Here is the code which we have used to add header and footer in ListView
<FlatList
data={dataSource}
keyExtractor={(item, index) => index.toString()}
ItemSeparatorComponent={ItemSeparatorView}
//Header to show above listview
ListHeaderComponent={ListHeader}
//Footer to show below listview
ListFooterComponent={ListFooter}
renderItem={ItemView}
ListEmptyComponent={EmptyListMessage}
/>
To Make a React Native App
Getting started with React Native will help you to know more about the way you can make a React Native project. We are going to use react-native init to make our React Native App. Assuming that you have node installed, you can use npm to install the react-native-cli
command line utility. Open the terminal and go to the workspace and run
npm install -g react-native-cli
Run the following commands to create a new React Native project
react-native init ProjectName
If you want to start a new project with a specific React Native version, you can use the --version argument:
react-native init ProjectName --version X.XX.X
react-native init ProjectName --version react-native@next
This will make a project structure with an index file named App.js in your project directory.
Open App.js in any code editor and replace the code with the following code
App.js
// React Native Add Header Footer in ListView / FlatList
// https://aboutreact.com/react-native-add-header-footer-in-listview/
// import React in our code
import React, {useState} from 'react';
// import all the components we are going to use
import {
SafeAreaView,
StyleSheet,
View,
Text,
FlatList,
} from 'react-native';
const App = () => {
const [dataSource, setDataSource] = useState([
{id: 1, title: 'Button'},
{id: 2, title: 'Card'},
{id: 3, title: 'Input'},
{id: 4, title: 'Avatar'},
{id: 5, title: 'CheckBox'},
{id: 6, title: 'Header'},
{id: 7, title: 'Icon'},
{id: 8, title: 'Lists'},
{id: 9, title: 'Rating'},
{id: 10, title: 'Pricing'},
{id: 11, title: 'Avatar'},
{id: 12, title: 'CheckBox'},
{id: 13, title: 'Header'},
{id: 14, title: 'Icon'},
{id: 15, title: 'Lists'},
{id: 16, title: 'Rating'},
{id: 17, title: 'Pricing'},
]);
const EmptyListMessage = ({item}) => {
return (
// Flat List Item
<Text
style={styles.emptyListStyle}
onPress={() => getItem(item)}>
No Data Found
</Text>
);
};
const ItemView = ({item}) => {
return (
// Flat List Item
<Text
style={styles.itemStyle}
onPress={() => getItem(item)}>
{item.id}
{'.'}
{item.title.toUpperCase()}
</Text>
);
};
const ItemSeparatorView = () => {
return (
// Flat List Item Separator
<View
style={{
height: 0.5,
width: '100%',
backgroundColor: '#C8C8C8',
}}
/>
);
};
const ListHeader = () => {
//View to set in Header
return (
<View style={styles.headerFooterStyle}>
<Text style={styles.textStyle}>
This is Header
</Text>
</View>
);
};
const ListFooter = () => {
//View to set in Footer
return (
<View style={styles.headerFooterStyle}>
<Text style={styles.textStyle}>
This is Footer
</Text>
</View>
);
};
const getItem = (item) => {
// Function for click on an item
alert('Id : ' + item.id + ' Title : ' + item.title);
};
return (
<SafeAreaView style={{flex: 1}}>
<FlatList
data={dataSource}
keyExtractor={(item, index) => index.toString()}
ItemSeparatorComponent={ItemSeparatorView}
//Header to show above listview
ListHeaderComponent={ListHeader}
//Footer to show below listview
ListFooterComponent={ListFooter}
renderItem={ItemView}
ListEmptyComponent={EmptyListMessage}
/>
</SafeAreaView>
);
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
emptyListStyle: {
padding: 10,
fontSize: 18,
textAlign: 'center',
},
itemStyle: {
padding: 10,
},
headerFooterStyle: {
width: '100%',
height: 45,
backgroundColor: '#606070',
},
textStyle: {
textAlign: 'center',
color: '#fff',
fontSize: 18,
padding: 7,
},
});
export default App;
To Run the React Native App
Open the terminal again and jump into your project using.
cd ProjectName
To run the project on an Android Virtual Device or on real debugging device
react-native run-android
or on the iOS Simulator by running (macOS only)
react-native run-ios
