## Supported versions

- `v0.4.0` requires `RN>=0.48`
- `v0.2.0` requires `RN>=0.32.0`.
- `v0.1.2` requires `RN>=0.27.2` but you should use `0.2.0` in order to make it work with multiple scroll views.
- `v0.0.7` requires `react-native>=0.25.0`.
- Use `v0.0.6` for older RN versions.

## Installation

Installation can be done through `npm` or `yarn`:

```shell
npm i react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view --save
```

```shell
yarn add react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view
```

## Usage

You can use the `KeyboardAwareScrollView`, `KeyboardAwareSectionList` or the `KeyboardAwareFlatList`
components. They accept `ScrollView`, `SectionList` and `FlatList` default props respectively and
implement a custom high order component called `KeyboardAwareHOC` to handle keyboard appearance.
The high order component is also available if you want to use it in any other component.

Import `react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view` and wrap your content inside
it:

```js
import { KeyboardAwareScrollView } from 'react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view'
```

```jsx
<KeyboardAwareScrollView>
  <View>
    <TextInput />
  </View>
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>
```

## Auto-scroll in `TextInput` fields

As of `v0.1.0`, the component auto scrolls to the focused `TextInput` 😎. For versions `v0.0.7` and older you can do the following.

### Programatically scroll to any `TextInput`

In order to scroll to any `TextInput` field, you can use the built-in method `scrollToFocusedInput`. Example:

```js
_scrollToInput (reactNode: any) {
  // Add a 'scroll' ref to your ScrollView
  this.scroll.props.scrollToFocusedInput(reactNode)
}
```

```jsx
<KeyboardAwareScrollView
  innerRef={ref => {
    this.scroll = ref
  }}>
  <View>
    <TextInput
      onFocus={(event: Event) => {
        // `bind` the function if you're using ES6 classes
        this._scrollToInput(ReactNative.findNodeHandle(event.target))
      }}
    />
  </View>
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>
```

### Programatically scroll to any position

There's another built-in function that lets you programatically scroll to any position of the scroll view:

```js
this.scroll.props.scrollToPosition(0, 0)
```

## Register to keyboard events

You can register to `ScrollViewResponder` events `onKeyboardWillShow` and `onKeyboardWillHide`:

```jsx
<KeyboardAwareScrollView
  onKeyboardWillShow={(frames: Object) => {
    console.log('Keyboard event', frames)
  }}>
  <View>
    <TextInput />
  </View>
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>
```

## Android Support

First, Android natively has this feature, you can easily enable it by setting `windowSoftInputMode` in `AndroidManifest.xml`. Check [here](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#wsoft).

But if you want to use feature like `extraHeight`, you need to enable Android Support with the following steps:

- Make sure you are using react-native `0.46` or above.
- Set `windowSoftInputMode` to `adjustPan` in `AndroidManifest.xml`.
- Set `enableOnAndroid` property to `true`.

Android Support is not perfect, here is the supported list:

| **Prop**                    | **Android Support** |
| --------------------------- | ------------------- |
| `viewIsInsideTabBar`        | Yes                 |
| `resetScrollToCoords`       | Yes                 |
| `enableAutomaticScroll`     | Yes                 |
| `extraHeight`               | Yes                 |
| `extraScrollHeight`         | Yes                 |
| `enableResetScrollToCoords` | Yes                 |
| `keyboardOpeningTime`       | No                  |

## API

### Props

All the `ScrollView`/`FlatList` props will be passed.

| **Prop**                    | **Type**                         | **Description**                                                                                |
| --------------------------- | -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `innerRef`                  | `Function`                       | Catch the reference of the component.                                                          |
| `viewIsInsideTabBar`        | `boolean`                        | Adds an extra offset that represents the `TabBarIOS` height.                                   |
| `resetScrollToCoords`       | `Object: {x: number, y: number}` | Coordinates that will be used to reset the scroll when the keyboard hides.                     |
| `enableAutomaticScroll`     | `boolean`                        | When focus in `TextInput` will scroll the position, default is enabled.                        |
| `extraHeight`               | `number`                         | Adds an extra offset when focusing the `TextInput`s.                                           |
| `extraScrollHeight`         | `number`                         | Adds an extra offset to the keyboard. Useful if you want to stick elements above the keyboard. |
| `enableResetScrollToCoords` | `boolean`                        | Lets the user enable or disable automatic resetScrollToCoords.                                 |
| `keyboardOpeningTime`       | `number`                         | Sets the delay time before scrolling to new position, default is 250                           |
| `enableOnAndroid`           | `boolean`                        | Enable Android Support                                                                         |

### Methods

Use `innerRef` to get the component reference and use `this.scrollRef.props` to access these methods.

| **Method**           | **Parameter**                                                                                                                                           | **Description**                                                |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `getScrollResponder` | `void`                                                                                                                                                  | Get `ScrollResponder`                                          |
| `scrollToPosition`   | `x: number, y: number, animated: bool = true`                                                                                                           | Scroll to specific position with or without animation.         |
| `scrollToEnd`        | `animated?: bool = true`                                                                                                                                | Scroll to end with or without animation.                       |
| `scrollIntoView`     | `element: React.Element<*>, options: { getScrollPosition: ?(parentLayout, childLayout, contentOffset) => { x: number, y: number, animated: boolean } }` | Scrolls an element inside a KeyboardAwareScrollView into view. |

### Using high order component

Enabling any component to be keyboard-aware is very easy. Take a look at the code of `KeyboardAwareFlatList`:

```js
/* @flow */

import { FlatList } from 'react-native'
import listenToKeyboardEvents from './KeyboardAwareHOC'

export default listenToKeyboardEvents(FlatList)
```

The HOC can also be configured. Sometimes it's more convenient to provide a static config than configuring the behavior with props. This HOC config can be overriden with props.

```js
/* @flow */

import { FlatList } from 'react-native'
import listenToKeyboardEvents from './KeyboardAwareHOC'

const config = {
  enableOnAndroid: true,
  enableAutomaticScroll: true
}

export default listenToKeyboardEvents(config)(FlatList)
```

The available config options are:

```js
{
  enableOnAndroid: boolean,
  contentContainerStyle: ?Object,
  enableAutomaticScroll: boolean,
  extraHeight: number,
  extraScrollHeight: number,
  enableResetScrollToCoords: boolean,
  keyboardOpeningTime: number,
  viewIsInsideTabBar: boolean,
  refPropName: string,
  extractNativeRef: Function
}
```
