React Native Slide Menu (Navigation Drawer)

Description

A slide menu as we can see in Android which permits to route an item from the menu to a view displayed on the front view (check out the example to create your routes).

This Slide Menu can be opened by sliding from the left or from the right as you choose (see the prop in the example) To open it you have to slide from the right (or left) border (and not from anywhere on the screen).

alt tag

Installation

$ npm i --save react-native-navigation-drawer

Usage Example

var SlideMenu = require('react-native-navigation-drawer');
var Menu = require('./menu.js');

var Pages = require('./pages.js');
var FirstPage = Pages.FirstPage;
var SecondPage = Pages.SecondPage;

var BasicExample = React.createClass({
  getInitialState(fragmentId) {
    return ({ route: 'firstpage' });
  },
    
  updateFrontView() {
    //routing your pages here, don't forget to add a section in the menu ;)
    switch (this.state.route) {
      case 'firstpage':
        return <FirstPage />;
      case 'secondpage':
        return <SecondPage />;
    }
  },

  routeFrontView(fragmentId) {
    this.setState({ route: fragmentId });
  },
    
  render() {
    var fragment = this.updateFrontView();
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <SlideMenu frontView={fragment} routeFrontView={this.routeFrontView}
          menu={<Menu />} slideWay='left' moveFrontView={false} width={200}/>
      </View>
    );
  }
});
