Introduction

This library export two components - FlatGrid (similar to FlatList) and SectionGrid (similar to SectionList). Both components render a Grid layout that adapts itself to various screen resolutions.

Instead of passing an itemPerRow argument, you pass itemDimension and each item will be rendered with a dimension size equal to or more than (to fill the screen) the given dimension.

This article is about FlatGrid.

Installing

npm install react-native-super-grid

Usage (FlatGrid)

import { FlatGrid } from 'react-native-super-grid';

<FlatGrid
  itemDimension={130}
  data={[1,2,3,4,5,6]}
  renderItem={({ item }) => (<Text>{item}</Text>)}
/>

Properties

All additional props you pass will be passed on to the internal FlatList/SectionList. This means you can make use of various props and methods like ListHeaderComponent, onEndReached, onRefresh…etc. While these are not tested for compatibility, most of them should work as expected.

In SectionGrid, section argument in methods like renderSectionHeader, renderSectionFooter, ItemSeparatorComponent will slightly different from the actual section you passed. The data key in the section will be the grouped versions of items (items that go in one row), and the original list of items can be found in originalData key. All other keys will remain intact.

Example

import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, View, Text } from 'react-native';
import { FlatGrid } from 'react-native-super-grid';

export default function Example() {
  const [items, setItems] = React.useState([
    { name: 'TURQUOISE', code: '#1abc9c' },
    { name: 'EMERALD', code: '#2ecc71' },
    { name: 'PETER RIVER', code: '#3498db' },
    { name: 'AMETHYST', code: '#9b59b6' },
    { name: 'WET ASPHALT', code: '#34495e' },
    { name: 'GREEN SEA', code: '#16a085' },
    { name: 'NEPHRITIS', code: '#27ae60' },
    { name: 'BELIZE HOLE', code: '#2980b9' },
    { name: 'WISTERIA', code: '#8e44ad' },
    { name: 'MIDNIGHT BLUE', code: '#2c3e50' },
    { name: 'SUN FLOWER', code: '#f1c40f' },
    { name: 'CARROT', code: '#e67e22' },
    { name: 'ALIZARIN', code: '#e74c3c' },
    { name: 'CLOUDS', code: '#ecf0f1' },

    { name: 'ORANGE', code: '#f39c12' },
    { name: 'PUMPKIN', code: '#d35400' },
    { name: 'POMEGRANATE', code: '#c0392b' },
    { name: 'SILVER', code: '#bdc3c7' },
    { name: 'ASBESTOS', code: '#7f8c8d' },
  ]);

  return (
    <FlatGrid
      itemDimension={130}
      data={items}
      style={styles.gridView}
      // staticDimension={300}
      // fixed
      spacing={10}
      renderItem={({ item }) => (
        <View style={[styles.itemContainer, { backgroundColor: item.code }]}>
          <Text style={styles.itemName}>{item.name}</Text>
          <Text style={styles.itemCode}>{item.code}</Text>
        </View>
      )}
    />
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  gridView: {
    marginTop: 10,
    flex: 1,
  },
  itemContainer: {
    justifyContent: 'flex-end',
    borderRadius: 5,
    padding: 10,
    height: 150,
  },
  itemName: {
    fontSize: 16,
    color: '#fff',
    fontWeight: '600',
  },
  itemCode: {
    fontWeight: '600',
    fontSize: 12,
    color: '#fff',
  },
});
