This is an Example of Expandable Circular Button in React Native using react-native-circle-button. One of our AboutReact family members needed a button which can expand and the user can see more option that is why I have planned this post to share with others also. This button will help you to hide infrequent options from the screen and will show the options only when user wants to see.
To Make Expandable Circular Button
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | <CircleButton size={45} primaryColor="#41727E" secondaryColor="#459186" onPressButtonTop={() => alert('Top Button Clicked')} onPressButtonRight={() => alert('Right Button Clicked')} onPressButtonBottom={() => alert('Bottom Button Clicked')} onPressButtonLeft={() => alert('Left Button Clicked')} /> |
In this example, we will make a circular button using react-native-circle-button library. Initially, the button will be with add sign only and on the press of the button, the circle button will expand and will show more options to choose. On click of options, we will show an alert.
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-cliRun the following commands to create a new React Native project
react-native init ProjectNameIf 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.Xreact-native init ProjectName --version react-native@nextThis will make a project structure with an index file named App.js in your project directory.
Installation of Dependency
To use CircleButton we need to install react-native-circle-button dependency.
To install this open the terminal and jump into your project using
1 | cd ProjectName |
Run the following command to install
1 | npm install react-native-circle-button --save |
This command will copy all the dependency into your node_module directory.
Now Open App.js in any code editor and replace the code with the following code.
App.js

To Run the React Native App
Open the terminal again and jump into your project using.cd ProjectNamereact-native run-androidreact-native run-ios (macOS only).
