### Declarative API exposing platform native touch and gesture system to React Native. React Native Gesture Handler provides native-driven gesture management APIs for building best possible touch-based experiences in React Native. With this library gestures are no longer controlled by the JS responder system, but instead are recognized and tracked in the UI thread. It makes touch interactions and gesture tracking not only smooth, but also dependable and deterministic. ## Installation Check [getting started](https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-gesture-handler/docs/#installation) section of our docs for the detailed installation instructions. ## Fabric To learn how to use `react-native-gesture-handler` with Fabric architecture, head over to [Fabric README](README-Fabric.md). Instructions on how to run Fabric Example within this repo can be found in the [FabricExample README](FabricExample/README.md). ## Documentation Check out our dedicated documentation page for info about this library, API reference and more: [https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-gesture-handler/docs/](https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-gesture-handler/docs/) ## Examples If you want to play with the API but don't feel like trying it on a real app, you can run the example project. Clone the repo, go to the `example` folder and run: ```bash yarn install ``` If you are running on ios, run `pod install` in the ios folder Run `yarn start` to start the metro bundler Run `yarn android` or `yarn ios` (depending on which platform you want to run the example app on). You will need to have an Android or iOS device or emulator connected as well as `react-native-cli` package installed globally. ## React Native Support | version | react-native version | | ------- | -------------------- | | 2.14.0+ | 0.67.0+ | | 2.10.0+ | 0.64.0+ | | 2.0.0+ | 0.63.0+ | | 1.4.0+ | 0.60.0+ | | 1.1.0+ | 0.57.2+ | | <1.1.0 | 0.50.0+ | It may be possible to use newer versions of react-native-gesture-handler on React Native with version <= 0.59 by reverse Jetifying.
