How to open Drawer When use a custom icon in Scene

[alirezavalizade]

Hi,I using Drawer my app, my problem is i want use a custom icon in Drawer Scene and its ok but i dont see any docs to tell me how to open or close the drawer!

this is my router :

    <Scene
                                key="TabbarWrapper"
                                component={NavigationDrawer}
                                initial={true}
                            >
                                <Scene key="Tabbar"
                                       tabs={true}
                                       initial={true}
                                       tabBarStyle={styles.tabBar}
                                       default="ProductExplorer">

                                    <Scene key="ProductExplorer"
                                           title="Lists"
                                           icon={TabIcon}
                                           iconName={"list"}
                                           initial={true}
                                           leftButtonIconStyle={{tintColor: "#FFF"}}
                                           renderBackButton={backButtonFunction}
                                           component={ProductExplorer}/>

                                    <Scene key="Profile"
                                           title="Profile"
                                           icon={TabIcon}
                                           iconName={"gear"}
                                           leftButtonIconStyle={{tintColor: "#FFF"}}
                                           renderBackButton={backButtonFunction}
                                           component={Profile}/>
                                </Scene>

                            </Scene>

and this is my button renderer function :

let backButtonFunction = function () {
    var TouchableElement = TouchableHighlight;
    if (Platform.OS === 'android')TouchableElement = TouchableNativeFeedback;
    return (
        <TouchableElement onPress={()=>{ 
           **** my problem is here **** what do you think i should do?!what function must be call here to toggle open and close menu?
         }} style={{position : "absolute",left: 12,bottom:12}}>
            <Icon style={{color: "#FFF"}} name={"bars"} size={23}/>
        </TouchableElement>
    );
};

In Drawer component:
componentDidMount() { Actions.refresh({key: 'drawer', ref: this.refs.navigation}); }

In Button component:
onPress={() => {Actions.get('drawer').ref.toggle()}}

[alirezavalizade]

woww tnx! it's worked perfect :) @wildQueequeg

[danieladias]

@wildQueequeg is that the only thing we would need to do?
I am a noob in reactive native but seems to be saying I can't access refs in the refresh method. Is that possible?

Here is a screenshot showing the error I am getting:

Versions

"dependencies": {
    "react": "15.3.1",
    "react-native": "0.32.0",
    "react-native-drawer": "^2.3.0",
    "react-native-router-flux": "^3.35.0",
    "react-native-vector-icons": "^2.1.0"
  }

Drawer

export default class NavigationDrawer extends Component {

  componentDidMount() {
    Actions.refresh({key: 'drawer', ref: this.refs.navigationDrawer});
}

  render() {
    const state = this.props.navigationState;
    const children = state.children;
    return (
      <Drawer
        ref="navigationDrawer"
        type="displace"
        onOpen={() => Actions.refresh({ key: state.key, open: true })}
        onClose={() => Actions.refresh({ key: state.key, open: false })}
        content={<NavigationDrawerView />}
        tapToClose
        openDrawerOffset={150}
        panOpenMask={10}
        negotiatePan
        tweenHandler={(ratio) => ({
          main: { opacity: Math.max(0.54, 1 - ratio) },
        })} >
        <DefaultRenderer navigationState={children[0]} onNavigate={this.props.onNavigate} />
      </Drawer>
    );
  }
}

NavigationDrawer.propTypes = propTypes;

Button

renderMenuButton() {
    return (
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {Actions.get('drawer').ref.toggle()}}>
        <Icon name="ios-menu-outline" style={styles.navBarMenuIcon} />
      </TouchableOpacity>
    );
  }

@danieladias

this is my drawer component,i hope it can help you :

class NavigationDrawer extends React.Component {

    componentDidMount() {
        Actions.refresh({key: 'drawer', ref: this.refs.navigation});
    }

    render() {
        const state = this.props.navigationState;
        const children = state.children;

        return (
            <Drawer
                styles={drawerStyles}
                ref="navigation"
                type="displace"
                // onOpen={() => Actions.refresh({ key:  'drawer', open: true })}
                // onClose={() => Actions.refresh({ key: 'drawer', open: false })}
                content={<TabView />}
                tapToClose
                openDrawerOffset={0.2}
                panCloseMask={0.2}
                negotiatePan
                tweenHandler={(ratio) => ({
                main: { opacity: Math.max(0.54, 1 - ratio) }
        })}
            >
                <DefaultRenderer navigationState={children[0]} onNavigate={this.props.onNavigate}/>
            </Drawer>
        );
    }
}


and this is my Scene
 <Scene
                                key="drawer"
                                component={NavigationDrawer}
                                initial={true}
                            >
 /*another  Scene*/
</Scene>

@alirezavalizade thanks for your help. I tried but still getting the same issue. As soon as I add the line Actions.refresh({key: 'drawer', ref: this.refs.navigation}); to componentDidMount I get the error.

[administerspice]

@danieladias I don't see anything wrong with your Drawer.

Could be a react-native version issue. I'm using react-native 0.31.0 instead of 0.32.0. Maybe give that version a try?

These are all the changes I made:

In Drawer component:
<Drawer ref="navigation"></Drawer>
componentDidMount() { Actions.refresh({key: 'drawer', ref: this.refs.navigation}); }

In MenuButton component:
onPress={() => {Actions.get('drawer').ref.toggle()}}

In Scene:
<Scene leftButton={Button}>

[danieladias]

@wildQueequeg thanks for your help. Tried with 0.31.0 but no luck. Still the same stateless functions error as soon as I add that line in componentDidMount in my Drawer.
If I just print the refs like this console.log(this.refs.navigationDrawer) I can access it fine. My problem is with refresh I think.

I can also do this:
this.refs.navigationDrawer.toggle()
in componentDidMount and the drawer opens at launch.

[edencakir]

Use renderBackButton prop of Scene component. Pass a private function, and inside that function just call Actions.refresh({key: 'drawer', open: value => !value});

Example below:
<Scene sceneStyle={styles.sceneStyle} renderBackButton={this._showCustomButton} hideNavBar={false} key="test" component={Test} title="Test"/>

_showCustomButton() { return ( <TouchableOpacity onPress={()=>Actions.refresh({key: 'drawer', open: value => !value })}> <Image style={styles.tabImage} source={require('./images/settings.png')} /> </TouchableOpacity> ) }

PS: please teach me formatting....

@wildQueequeg Thanks it works 👍

Until now it renders but doesn't open the drawer.

I believe is something associated to the references but I'm not sure.

My entire screen along with the header/title moves down by 2 cm or so, after i added the side menu on the title. Where could be the problem?
