react-native-modal VS react-native-reanimated

GitHub Stars: 5k

Nor Expo Modal (https://reactnative.dev/docs/modal) or react-native-modal (https://github.com/react-native-modal/react-native-modal) let's you close the modal on swipe down on IOS, if presentationStyle=="formSheet" & presentationStyle=="pageSheet". I am on react-native version "0.64.3". Is there any fixes for this? Thanks in advance.

In this post, I’ll share some details around design decisions and mistakes I made while working on React Native Modal, a Modal component library for React Native. I hope that sharing my thoughts may help other new open-source maintainers to avoid such errors.

Author here 👋. In this blog post, I'm discussing the design decisions and mistakes I made while maintaining React Native Modal — a modal component library for React Native.

I used React Native Modal to achieve the modal effect, and Reanimated 2 for the flip effect.

Supports Animation: Tamagui leverages the popular open-source library — Moti as a reanimated driver for animation libraries such as react-native-reanimated and React Native Animated.

FYI react-native-reanimated (https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated) is not the Animated API from React Native. react-native-reanimated allows JS code to run on a UI thread that is able to synchronously modify layout, providing alternative synchronous ways for you to hook into the layouting. For instance, as opposed to the asynchronous `measure()` method provided by React Native to measure layouts, react-native-reanimated allows one to call their version of `measure()` (https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/docs/api/...) to perform the same operation on the UI thread, synchronously.

By using libraries like Reanimated, React Native MMKV, and React Native Skia, you leverage the native thread. However, I know there are developers building amazing things who think outside the box. I'm always thrilled when I read engineering blogs from companies like Netflix, Meta, and Shopify. They create solutions beyond the limits.

Currently having issues with reanimated (expo installs 2.14.4). My app will crash randomly – possibly linked to these issues here and here.

Reanimated is probably what you're looking for. https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/

One of is: https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated/issues/2327

use third party lib that is a beast, but will require a lot of work and upfront knowledge (https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/)

Catalin Miron is also good. Reanimated 2 animations are still relevant. I also would suggest reading the reanimated docs here. That's how I find my way around.
