🎉 Usage Example

Add an import to the top of the file. At minimal, declare the GallerySwiper component in the render() method providing an array of data for the images prop.

ℹ️ Local images must have a defined dimensions field with width and height or just height and width.

import GallerySwiper from "react-native-gallery-swiper";
 
//...
render() {
    return (
        <GallerySwiper
            images={[
                // Version *1.1.0 update (or greater versions): 
                // Can be used with different image object fieldnames.

                    // IMPORTANT: It is REQUIRED for LOCAL IMAGES
                    // to include a dimensions field with the
                    // actual width and height of the image or
