react-native-viewability-tracking-view

Note: This tracking uses setInterval and the native measure method, which can affect your application's performance if used excessively

If you need to track how many times a View is visible on the screen, you can use this. It provides options for setting offsets (offset*), in case part of your screen is covered by fixed elements, e.g. a tab bar.

Also, you can configure what is considered enough to be "seen". By default, onViewabilityChange will be called when at least 50% (itemVisiblePercentThreshold) of the ViewabilityTrackingView has been rendered within the device's screen dimensions for at least 1000 ms (minimumViewTime).

Lastly, you can define how often the measurement is taken, which affects the accuracy of the tracking and the performance impact it has (viewabilityMeasurementInterval).

Example

import ViewabilityTrackingView, {
  OnViewabilityParameters,
} from 'react-native-viewability-tracking-view'

export const MyComponent = ({
  isCurrentRoute,
  title,
}: {
  isCurrentRoute: boolean
  title: string
}) => {
  const onViewabilityChange = (data: OnViewabilityParameters) => {
    /* do something */
  }

  return (
    <ViewabilityTrackingView
      enabled={isCurrentRoute} // to only track when relevant
      accessibilityLabel={`Advertising banner ${title}`}
      onViewabilityChange={onViewabilityChange}
      testID="ViewabilityTrackingView"
      // check docs below for all props
    >
      <Text>{title}</Text>
    </ViewabilityTrackingView>
  )
}
