React Native Page Indicator

React Native component designed to display the current page of a swiper, slideshow, carousel, and more. You can choose from three pre-defined design variants and further customize the look and feel according to your specific requirements. All design variants support both horizontal and vertical orientations. This package has no dependencies and utilizes React Native's Animated API with the native driver to achieve seamless and fluid animations.

Installation

yarn

yarn add react-native-page-indicator

npm

npm install react-native-page-indicator

Basic example

Pass the total number of pages as the count prop and the current page index as the current prop.

import React from 'react';
import { View, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { PageIndicator } from 'react-native-page-indicator';

const MyComponent = ({ pages, current }) => (
  <View style={styles.wrapper}>
    <PageIndicator count={pages} current={current} />
  </View>
);

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  wrapper: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
});

export default MyComponent;

Advanced example

To create a more engaging experience where the indicator dynamically responds to the scroll position, you can pass the current page index as an Animated.Value rather than a regular number. The easiest approach to obtain the animated value is by dividing the corresponding scroll position by the page width (for horizontal scrolling) or page height (for vertical scrolling).

import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import { Animated, StyleSheet, Text, View, useWindowDimensions } from 'react-native';
import { PageIndicator } from 'react-native-page-indicator';

const pages = ['Page 1', 'Page 2', 'Page 3'];

const App = () => {
  const { width, height } = useWindowDimensions();
  const scrollX = useRef(new Animated.Value(0)).current;
  const animatedCurrent = useRef(Animated.divide(scrollX, width)).current;

  return (
    <View style={styles.root}>
      <Animated.ScrollView
        horizontal={true}
        pagingEnabled={true}
        showsHorizontalScrollIndicator={false}
        onScroll={Animated.event([{ nativeEvent: { contentOffset: { x: scrollX } } }], {
          useNativeDriver: true,
        })}
      >
        {pages.map((page, index) => (
          <View key={index} style={[styles.page, { width, height }]}>
            <Text>{page}</Text>
          </View>
        ))}
      </Animated.ScrollView>
      <View style={styles.pageIndicator}>
        <PageIndicator count={pages.length} current={animatedCurrent} />
      </View>
    </View>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  root: {
    flex: 1,
  },
  page: {
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
  pageIndicator: {
    left: 20,
    right: 20,
    bottom: 50,
    position: 'absolute',
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
});

export default App;
