react-native-pan-controller

Motivation

The PanResponder class in React Native is incredibly useful, and can handle a broad range of interactions/animatinos. Unfortunately, there are a lot of very common interactions/animations that require a lot of the same boilerplate in order to get them working properly, and that code is not necessarily straight forward.

The <PanController /> component is intended to much more easily handle a lot of these common scenarios. See below for usage.

$ npm install --save react-native-pan-controller

Contributing

PR's welcome. Additionally, if you have an interaction that you think might be able to be handled by the PanController, but you're not quite sure how to implement it, give me an example of the interaction and I'll try to get it working and add an example.

If it is not easily implemented using the PanController, but seems like a strong use-case, I may extend the implementation to handle it more easily.
