React Horizontal Timeline

A react port of the horizontal time-line developed by CodyHouse. Here is a demo I hope you too are a fan of the elder scrolls.

This is a fork from https://github.com/jckdrpr/react-horizontal-timeline.

The timeline has titles here along with the date string

HorizontalTimeline

It will just render a timeline with the dates that you provided and it is upto you what to do when a date is selected. i.e. it will give you the index of the date that was clicked and you can do anything with it.

Property	Type	Default	Description
values	array	undefind	sorted array of dates (required)
indexCLick	function	undefind	function that takes the index of the array as argument (required)
index	number	0	the index of the selected date (useful if you want to control the selected date from outside like in case of react-swipeable-views)
eventsMinDistance	number	80	The minimum distance between consecutive events
fillingMotion	object	{ stiffness: 150, damping: 25 }	Sets the animation style of how filling motion will look
slidingMotion	object	{ stiffness: 150, damping: 25 }	Sets the animation style of how sliding motion will look
styles	object	{ background: '#f8f8f8', foreground: '#7b9d6f', outline: '#dfdfdf', maxSize: 800 }	object containging the styles for the timeline currently outline (the color of the boundries of the thimeline and the buttons on it's either side), foreground (the filling color, active color) and background (the background color of your page) colors along with the max length of the timeline can be changed.

This is how it can be used.

const VALUES = [ {date: '10/01/2016', title: 'Title'}, ... ];

export default class App extends React.Component {
  state = { value: 0, previous: 0 };

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <HorizontalTimeline
          indexClick={(index) => {
            this.setState({ value: index, previous: this.state.value });
          }}
          values={ VALUES } />
        <div className='text-center'>
          {/* any arbitrary component can go here */}    
          {this.state.value}
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  }
}
