Component that wraps platform ScrollView while providing integration with touch locking "responder" system.

Keep in mind that ScrollViews must have a bounded height in order to work, since they contain unbounded-height children into a bounded container (via a scroll interaction). In order to bound the height of a ScrollView, either set the height of the view directly (discouraged) or make sure all parent views have bounded height. Forgetting to transfer {flex: 1} down the view stack can lead to errors here, which the element inspector makes easy to debug.

Doesn't yet support other contained responders from blocking this scroll view from becoming the responder.

<ScrollView> vs <FlatList> - which one to use?

ScrollView simply renders all its react child components at once. That makes it very easy to understand and use.

On the other hand, this has a performance downside. Imagine you have a very long list of items you want to display, maybe several screens worth of content. Creating JS components and native views for everything all at once, much of which may not even be shown, will contribute to slow rendering and increased memory usage.

This is where FlatList comes into play. FlatList renders items lazily, just when they are about to appear, and removes items that scroll way off screen to save memory and processing time.

FlatList is also handy if you want to render separators between your items, multiple columns, infinite scroll loading, or any number of other features it supports out of the box.

Props

`alwaysBounceVertical`

When true, the scroll view bounces vertically when it reaches the end even if the content is smaller than the scroll view itself. The default value is false when horizontal={true} and true otherwise.

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	iOS

`contentContainerStyle`

These styles will be applied to the scroll view content container which wraps all of the child views. Example:

return (
  <ScrollView contentContainerStyle={styles.contentContainer}>
  </ScrollView>
);
...
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  contentContainer: {
    paddingVertical: 20
  }
});

Type	Required
StyleSheetPropType(View Style props)	No

`disableScrollViewPanResponder`

When true, the default JS pan responder on the ScrollView is disabled, and full control over touches inside the ScrollView is left to its child components. This is particularly useful if snapToInterval is enabled, since it does not follow typical touch patterns. Do not use this on regular ScrollView use cases without snapToInterval as it may cause unexpected touches to occur while scrolling. The default value is false.

Type	Required
bool	No

`keyboardDismissMode`

Determines whether the keyboard gets dismissed in response to a drag.

Cross platform

'none' (the default), drags do not dismiss the keyboard.
'on-drag', the keyboard is dismissed when a drag begins.

iOS Only

'interactive', the keyboard is dismissed interactively with the drag and moves in synchrony with the touch; dragging upwards cancels the dismissal. On android this is not supported and it will have the same behavior as 'none'.

Type	Required
enum('none', 'on-drag', 'interactive')	No

`keyboardShouldPersistTaps`

Determines when the keyboard should stay visible after a tap.

'never' (the default), tapping outside of the focused text input when the keyboard is up dismisses the keyboard. When this happens, children won't receive the tap.
'always', the keyboard will not dismiss automatically, and the scroll view will not catch taps, but children of the scroll view can catch taps.
'handled', the keyboard will not dismiss automatically when the tap was handled by a children, (or captured by an ancestor).
false, deprecated, use 'never' instead
true, deprecated, use 'always' instead

Type	Required
enum('always', 'never', 'handled', false, true)	No

`onContentSizeChange`

Called when scrollable content view of the ScrollView changes.

Handler function is passed the content width and content height as parameters: (contentWidth, contentHeight)

It's implemented using onLayout handler attached to the content container which this ScrollView renders.

Type	Required
function	No

`onMomentumScrollBegin`

Called when the momentum scroll starts (scroll which occurs as the ScrollView glides to a stop).

Type	Required
function	No

`onMomentumScrollEnd`

Called when the momentum scroll ends (scroll which occurs as the ScrollView glides to a stop).

Type	Required
function	No

`onScroll`

Fires at most once per frame during scrolling. The frequency of the events can be controlled using the scrollEventThrottle prop.

Type	Required
function	No

`onScrollBeginDrag`

Called when the user begins to drag the scroll view.

Type	Required
function	No

`onScrollEndDrag`

Called when the user stops dragging the scroll view and it either stops or begins to glide.

Type	Required
function	No

`pagingEnabled`

When true, the scroll view stops on multiples of the scroll view's size when scrolling. This can be used for horizontal pagination. The default value is false.

Note: Vertical pagination is not supported on Android.

Type	Required
bool	No

`refreshControl`

A RefreshControl component, used to provide pull-to-refresh functionality for the ScrollView. Only works for vertical ScrollViews (horizontal prop must be false).

See RefreshControl.

Type	Required
element	No

`removeClippedSubviews`

Experimental: When true, offscreen child views (whose overflow value is hidden) are removed from their native backing superview when offscreen. This can improve scrolling performance on long lists. The default value is true.

Type	Required
bool	No

`scrollEnabled`

When false, the view cannot be scrolled via touch interaction. The default value is true.

Note that the view can always be scrolled by calling scrollTo.

Type	Required
bool	No

`showsHorizontalScrollIndicator`

When true, shows a horizontal scroll indicator. The default value is true.

Type	Required
bool	No

`showsVerticalScrollIndicator`

When true, shows a vertical scroll indicator. The default value is true.

Type	Required
bool	No

`stickyHeaderIndices`

An array of child indices determining which children get docked to the top of the screen when scrolling. For example, passing stickyHeaderIndices={[0]} will cause the first child to be fixed to the top of the scroll view. This property is not supported in conjunction with horizontal={true}.

Type	Required
array of number	No

`endFillColor`

Sometimes a scrollview takes up more space than its content fills. When this is the case, this prop will fill the rest of the scrollview with a color to avoid setting a background and creating unnecessary overdraw. This is an advanced optimization that is not needed in the general case.

Type	Required	Platform
color	No	Android

`overScrollMode`

Used to override default value of overScroll mode.

Possible values:

'auto' - Default value, allow a user to over-scroll this view only if the content is large enough to meaningfully scroll.
'always' - Always allow a user to over-scroll this view.
'never' - Never allow a user to over-scroll this view.

Type	Required	Platform
enum('auto', 'always', 'never')	No	Android

`scrollPerfTag`

Tag used to log scroll performance on this scroll view. Will force momentum events to be turned on (see sendMomentumEvents). This doesn't do anything out of the box and you need to implement a custom native FpsListener for it to be useful.

Type	Required	Platform
string	No	Android

`DEPRECATED_sendUpdatedChildFrames`

When true, ScrollView will emit updateChildFrames data in scroll events, otherwise will not compute or emit child frame data. This only exists to support legacy issues, onLayout should be used instead to retrieve frame data. The default value is false.

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	iOS

`alwaysBounceHorizontal`

When true, the scroll view bounces horizontally when it reaches the end even if the content is smaller than the scroll view itself. The default value is true when horizontal={true} and false otherwise.

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	iOS

`horizontal`

When true, the scroll view's children are arranged horizontally in a row instead of vertically in a column. The default value is false.

Type	Required
bool	No

`automaticallyAdjustContentInsets`

Controls whether iOS should automatically adjust the content inset for scroll views that are placed behind a navigation bar or tab bar/ toolbar. The default value is true.

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	iOS

`bounces`

When true, the scroll view bounces when it reaches the end of the content if the content is larger then the scroll view along the axis of the scroll direction. When false, it disables all bouncing even if the alwaysBounce* props are true. The default value is true.

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	iOS

`bouncesZoom`

When true, gestures can drive zoom past min/max and the zoom will animate to the min/max value at gesture end, otherwise the zoom will not exceed the limits.

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	iOS

`canCancelContentTouches`

When false, once tracking starts, won't try to drag if the touch moves. The default value is true.

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	iOS

`centerContent`

When true, the scroll view automatically centers the content when the content is smaller than the scroll view bounds; when the content is larger than the scroll view, this property has no effect. The default value is false.

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	iOS

`contentInset`

The amount by which the scroll view content is inset from the edges of the scroll view. Defaults to {top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0}.

Type	Required	Platform
object: {top: number, left: number, bottom: number, right: number}	No	iOS

`contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior`

This property specifies how the safe area insets are used to modify the content area of the scroll view. The default value of this property is "never". Available on iOS 11 and later.

Type	Required	Platform
enum('automatic', 'scrollableAxes', 'never', 'always')	No	iOS

`contentOffset`

Used to manually set the starting scroll offset. The default value is {x: 0, y: 0}.

Type	Required	Platform
PointPropType	No	iOS

`decelerationRate`

A floating-point number that determines how quickly the scroll view decelerates after the user lifts their finger. You may also use string shortcuts "normal" and "fast" which match the underlying iOS settings for UIScrollViewDecelerationRateNormal and UIScrollViewDecelerationRateFast respectively.

'normal': 0.998 on iOS, 0.985 on Android (the default)
'fast': 0.99 on iOS, 0.9 on Android

Type	Required
enum('fast', 'normal'), ,number	No

`directionalLockEnabled`

When true, the ScrollView will try to lock to only vertical or horizontal scrolling while dragging. The default value is false.

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	iOS

`indicatorStyle`

The style of the scroll indicators.

'default' (the default), same as black.
'black', scroll indicator is black. This style is good against a light background.
'white', scroll indicator is white. This style is good against a dark background.

Type	Required	Platform
enum('default', 'black', 'white')	No	iOS

`maximumZoomScale`

The maximum allowed zoom scale. The default value is 1.0.

Type	Required	Platform
number	No	iOS

`minimumZoomScale`

The minimum allowed zoom scale. The default value is 1.0.

Type	Required	Platform
number	No	iOS

`pinchGestureEnabled`

When true, ScrollView allows use of pinch gestures to zoom in and out. The default value is true.

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	iOS

`scrollEventThrottle`

This controls how often the scroll event will be fired while scrolling (as a time interval in ms). A lower number yields better accuracy for code that is tracking the scroll position, but can lead to scroll performance problems due to the volume of information being send over the bridge. You will not notice a difference between values set between 1-16 as the JS run loop is synced to the screen refresh rate. If you do not need precise scroll position tracking, set this value higher to limit the information being sent across the bridge. The default value is zero, which results in the scroll event being sent only once each time the view is scrolled.

Type	Required	Platform
number	No	iOS

`scrollIndicatorInsets`

The amount by which the scroll view indicators are inset from the edges of the scroll view. This should normally be set to the same value as the contentInset. Defaults to {0, 0, 0, 0}.

Type	Required	Platform
object: {top: number, left: number, bottom: number, right: number}	No	iOS

`scrollsToTop`

When true, the scroll view scrolls to top when the status bar is tapped. The default value is true.

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	iOS

`snapToAlignment`

When snapToInterval is set, snapToAlignment will define the relationship of the snapping to the scroll view.

'start' (the default) will align the snap at the left (horizontal) or top (vertical)
'center' will align the snap in the center
'end' will align the snap at the right (horizontal) or bottom (vertical)

Type	Required
enum('start', 'center', 'end')	No

`snapToInterval`

When set, causes the scroll view to stop at multiples of the value of snapToInterval. This can be used for paginating through children that have lengths smaller than the scroll view. Typically used in combination with snapToAlignment and decelerationRate="fast". Overrides less configurable pagingEnabled prop.

Type	Required
number	No

`snapToOffsets`

When set, causes the scroll view to stop at the defined offsets. This can be used for paginating through variously sized children that have lengths smaller than the scroll view. Typically used in combination with decelerationRate="fast". Overrides less configurable pagingEnabled and snapToInterval props.

Type	Required
array of number	No

`snapToStart`

Use in conjuction with snapToOffsets. By default, the beginning of the list counts as a snap offset. Set snapToStart to false to disable this behavior and allow the list to scroll freely between its start and the first snapToOffsets offset. The default value is true.

Type	Required
boolean	No

`snapToEnd`

Use in conjuction with snapToOffsets. By default, the end of the list counts as a snap offset. Set snapToEnd to false to disable this behavior and allow the list to scroll freely between its end and the last snapToOffsets offset. The default value is true.

Type	Required
boolean	No

`zoomScale`

The current scale of the scroll view content. The default value is 1.0.

Type	Required	Platform
number	No	iOS

bool	No	Android

Methods

`scrollTo()`

scrollTo(
  ([y]: number),
  object,
  ([x]: number),
  ([animated]: boolean),
  ([duration]: number),
);

Scrolls to a given x, y offset, either immediately, with a smooth animation, or, for Android only, a custom animation duration time.

Example:

scrollTo({x: 0, y: 0, animated: true})

Example with duration (Android only):

scrollTo({x: 0, y: 0, duration: 500})

Note: The weird function signature is due to the fact that, for historical reasons, the function also accepts separate arguments as an alternative to the options object. This is deprecated due to ambiguity (y before x), and SHOULD NOT BE USED.

`scrollToEnd()`

scrollToEnd(([options]: {animated: boolean, duration: number}));

If this is a vertical ScrollView scrolls to the bottom. If this is a horizontal ScrollView scrolls to the right.

Use scrollToEnd({animated: true}) for smooth animated scrolling, scrollToEnd({animated: false}) for immediate scrolling. For Android, you may specify a duration, e.g. scrollToEnd({duration: 500}) for a controlled duration scroll. If no options are passed, animated defaults to true.

`scrollWithoutAnimationTo()`

scrollWithoutAnimationTo(y, x);

Deprecated, use scrollTo instead.

`flashScrollIndicators()`

flashScrollIndicators();

Displays the scroll indicators momentarily.
