React Native View Pager with 3 Different Indicators

React Native View Pager

This is an example of React Native View Pager with 3 Different Indicators. React Native View Pager allows the user to flip left and right through pages. In our ViewPager Example, we’ll implement a ViewPager that swipes through three different views with the indicator.

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.

Installation of Dependency

To use PagerTabIndicator, IndicatorViewPager, PagerTitleIndicator, PagerDotIndicator you need to install @shankarmorwal/rn-viewpager package. To install this

Open the terminal and jump into your project

cd Projectname

Run the following command

npm install @shankarmorwal/rn-viewpager --save

This command will copy all the dependencies into your node_module directory. –save is optional.

Code for React Native View Pager

Now Open App.js in any code editor and replace the code with the following code

App.js

// React Native View Pager with 3 Different Indicators
// https://aboutreact.com/react-native-view-pager/

// import React in our code
import React from 'react';

// import all the components we are going to use
import {
  SafeAreaView,
  StyleSheet,
  View,
  Text
} from 'react-native';

// import {
//   PagerTabIndicator,
//   IndicatorViewPager,
//   PagerTitleIndicator,
//   PagerDotIndicator,
// } from 'rn-viewpager';

import {
  PagerTabIndicator,
  IndicatorViewPager,
  PagerTitleIndicator,
  PagerDotIndicator,
} from '@shankarmorwal/rn-viewpager';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <IndicatorViewPager
          style={styles.pagerStyle}
          indicator={
            <PagerDotIndicator pageCount={3} />
          }>
          <View style={styles.background1}>
            <Text style={styles.textStyle}>One</Text>
          </View>
          <View style={styles.background2}>
            <Text style={styles.textStyle}>Two</Text>
          </View>
          <View style={styles.background3}>
            <Text style={styles.textStyle}>Three</Text>
          </View>
        </IndicatorViewPager>

        <IndicatorViewPager
          style={styles.pagerStyle}
          indicator={
            <PagerTitleIndicator
              titles={['one', 'two', 'three']}
            />
          }>
          <View style={styles.background1}>
            <Text style={styles.textStyle}>One</Text>
          </View>
          <View style={styles.background2}>
            <Text style={styles.textStyle}>Two</Text>
          </View>
          <View style={styles.background3}>
            <Text style={styles.textStyle}>Three</Text>
          </View>
        </IndicatorViewPager>

        <IndicatorViewPager
          style={styles.pagerStyle}
          indicator={
            <PagerTabIndicator
              tabs={[
                {
                  text: 'Home',
                  // iconSource:
                  //   require('./resources/home.png'),
                  // selectedIconSource:
                  //   require('./resources/home_selected.png'),
                },
                {
                  text: 'Message',
                  // iconSource:
                  //     require('./resources/message.png'),
                  // selectedIconSource:
                  //     require('./resources/message_selected.png'),
                },
                {
                  text: 'Profile',
                  // iconSource:
                  //   require('./resources/profile.png'),
                  // selectedIconSource:
                  //    require('./resources/profile_selected.png'),
                },
              ]}
            />
          }>
          <View style={styles.background1}>
            <Text style={styles.textStyle}>Home</Text>
          </View>
          <View style={styles.background2}>
            <Text style={styles.textStyle}>Message</Text>
          </View>
          <View style={styles.background3}>
            <Text style={styles.textStyle}>Profile</Text>
          </View>
        </IndicatorViewPager>
      </View>
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
};

export default App;

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
  },
  background1: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#C70039',
  },
  background2: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#FF5733',
  },
  background3: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#FFC300',
  },
  textStyle: {
    color: 'white',
    fontSize: 30,
  },
  pagerStyle: {
    flex: 1,
    paddingTop: 20,
    backgroundColor: 'white',
  },
});

To Run the React Native App

Open the terminal again and jump into your project using.
