Try it out for yourself on Expo Snack! Make sure to run it on a mobile to see it working properly.
This component will work in your React Native Project without any peer dependencies.
If you want the numbers to fade in/out at the top and bottom of the picker, you will need to install either:
- expo-linear-gradient (if using Expo)
- react-native-linear-gradient (if using in a bare React Native project)
To enable the linear gradient, you need to supply the component as a prop to either TimerPickerModal or TimerPicker.
Supports React Native >= 0.59.0 and React >= 16.8.0.
Just run:
npm install @crabas0npm/aspernatur-exercitationem-qui
or
yarn add @crabas0npm/aspernatur-exercitationem-qui
import { TimerPickerModal } from "@crabas0npm/aspernatur-exercitationem-qui";
import { LinearGradient } from "expo-linear-gradient"; // or `import LinearGradient from "react-native-linear-gradient"`
....
const [showPicker, setShowPicker] = useState(false);
const [alarmString, setAlarmString] = useState<
string | null
>(null);
return (
<View style={{backgroundColor: "#514242", alignItems: "center", justifyContent: "center"}}>
<Text style={{fontSize: 18, color: "#F1F1F1"}}>

? "Alarm set for"

The library exposes a TimerPickerRef type, which can be used to type your ref to the picker:
const timerPickerRef = useRef < TimerPickerRef > null;
It has the following available methods:
reset
- imperative method to reset the selected duration to their initial values.
timerPickerRef.current.reset(options?: { animated: boolean });
setValue
- imperative method to set the selected duration to a particular value
timerPickerRef.current.setValue({ hours: number, minutes: number, seconds: number }, options?: { animated: boolean });
It also exposes the following ref object:
latestDuration
- provides access to the latest duration (even during scrolls). This only works if aggressivelyGetLatestDuration
is set to True (as in TimerPickerModal). It is used internally to ensure that the latest duration is returned in TimerPickerModal
on pressing the confirm button, even if the inputs are still scrolling.
const latestDuration = timerPickerRef.current?.latestDuration;
const newDuration = {
hours: latestDuration?.hours?.current,
minutes: latestDuration?.minutes?.current,
seconds: latestDuration?.seconds?.current,
};
An identical ref is also exposed for the TimerPickerModal component.
Contributions to this project are more than welcome.
To get this project running locally:
- Clone the Git repo.
- Run
yarn setup
from the project root (this installs the dev dependencies and the example's additional dependencies) - Run
yarn start
to start the example in Expo Go. - Start adding cool stuff! Your changes should be immediately reflected in the Expo Go app.
There are two permenant branches: main
and develop
. You should never work directly on either of these branches.
- Create a new branch off
develop
for your work using the patternfeature/{DESCRIPTION}
. - When you think your work is ready for review, submit a PR from your branch back to
develop
. - Once the PR is resolved, your work will be merged into
develop
, and will be included in the next major/minor release.
