Version 2.0.0 onwards support multi-select feature. As such, following properties from the versions before have changed.
selectedKeyis nowinitSelectedKeys. It accepts an array of keys.getSelectedItemis nowgetSelectedItems. It returns an array of selected items.
You can either use this component in its default mode, as a wrapper around your existing component or provide a custom component (where you need to control opening of the modal yourself). In default mode a customizable button is rendered.
See SampleApp for an example how to use this component.
import ModalSelector from 'react-native-modal-selector'
class SampleApp extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
textInputValue: ''
}
}
render() {
let index = 0;
const data = [
{ key: index++, section: true, label: 'Fruits' },
{ key: index++, label: 'Red Apples' },
{ key: index++, label: 'Cherries' },
{ key: index++, label: 'Cranberries', accessibilityLabel: 'Tap here for cranberries' },
// etc...
// Can also add additional custom keys which are passed to the onChange callback
{ key: index++, label: 'Vegetable', customKey: 'Not a fruit' }
];
return (
<View style={{flex:1, justifyContent:'space-around', padding:50}}>
// Default mode
<ModalSelector
data={data}
initValue="Select something yummy!"
onChange={(option)=>{ alert(`${option.label} (${option.key}) nom nom nom`) }} />
// Wrapper
<ModalSelector
data={data}
initValue="Select something yummy!"
supportedOrientations={['landscape']}
accessible={true}
scrollViewAccessibilityLabel={'Scrollable options'}
cancelButtonAccessibilityLabel={'Cancel Button'}
onChange={(option)=>{ this.setState({textInputValue:option.label})}}>
<TextInput
style={{borderWidth:1, borderColor:'#ccc', padding:10, height:30}}
editable={false}
placeholder="Select something yummy!"
value={this.state.textInputValue} />
</ModalSelector>
// Custom component
<ModalSelector
data={data}
ref={selector => { this.selector = selector; }}
customSelector={<Switch onValueChange={() => this.selector.open()} />}
/>
</View>
);
}
}The selector accepts a specific format of data:
[{ key: 5, label: 'Red Apples' }]Optionally provide a component key which overrides the default label text:
[{
key: 5,
label: 'Red Apples',
component: <View style={{backgroundColor: 'red'}}><Text style={{color: 'white'}}>Red Apples custom component ☺</Text></View>
}]If your data has a specific format, you can define extractors of data, example:
this.setState({data: [{ id: 5, name: 'Red Apples' }]});
return (
<ModalSelector
data={this.state.data}
keyExtractor= {item => item.id}
labelExtractor= {item => item.name}
/>
