Simple Example (Minimum needed for component to work)

<MultiSelectSortableFlatlist
  data={this.state.ListData}
  keyExtractor={(item, index) => item}
  onSort={data => this.onSort(data)}
  renderItem={({ item, index, selected }) => (
    //Note: To view selection changes, your component should take a prop that will render changes based on "selected" bool
    <View style={selected ? styles.selectedWrapper : styles.wrapper}>
      <View
        style={[
          styles.containerStyle,

Mobile Usage

Auto Mode

• Tap on an item to trigger onItemTap call back.
• Press and hold on an item to start selecting phase.
  • After activating selecting phase, tap on any item to select.
  • Tapping on a selected item will deselect that item.
  • Deselecting all items will stop selecting phase.
• Press and hold on an item and drag to move it.
  • Drop the item anywhere to sort.

Manual Mode

• All controls are managed by calling exposed functions for each item in the renderItem prop.
  • Changing mode prop to "manual" will stop all Auto mode controls.

API

Props

Name	Description	Default	Type
data	Exaxtly like react-native FlatList data prop. An array of data to pass your rendered components.	None (Required)	Array
renderItem	renderItem={({ item: object, index: number, selected: bool, isDragging: bool }) => <YourComponent selected={selected} />}. Similar to react-native FlatList renderItem, it provides both the item and index varables along with a new varable called selected, which allows you to provide conditional rendering as you see fit.	None (Required)	Func
keyExtractor	Exaxtly like react-native FlatList keyExtractor prop. Used to extract a unique key for a given item at the specified index. Also import to give unique key for selection to differentiate each item.	None (Required)	Func
initialSelectedItems	An array of items that will be selected when component mounts.	None	Array
onItemTap	({ item: object, index: number }) => void Called when the touch is released.	None	Func
onItemSelected	({ selectedItems: array, item: object, index: number }) => void Called when items are selected.	None	Func
onItemDeselected	({ selectedItems: array, item: object, index: number }) => void Called when items are deselected.	None	Func
onSort	(data => void) Called when list is resorted with same data in new array data.	None	Func
comparingFactor	If data prop is an array of JSON Objects, you can pass a JSON key that would use the value for uniquely differentiating each item instead of using the item index number.	None	String
selectable	Enable or Disable all list items from being selected.	true	Bool
sortable	Enable or Disable list sorting ability.	true	Bool
mode	Setting the mode to "manual" gives you full control on both sortability and selectability by exposing methods per item though the renderItem prop. When set to manual, the renderItem prop will look like this: renderItem={({ item: object, index: number, selected: bool, drag: function, isDragging: bool, reverseSelection: function }). Manual mode will ignore selectable, sortable and onItemTap props.	"auto"	String

All React Native Draggable FlatList and FlatList props props are available too as its the underlying component.

renderItem Prop Variables

Name	Description	Type
item	The item from data being rendered.	Object
index	The index corresponding to this item in the data array.	Number
selected	If selection is active on the item.	Bool
drag	Call this to start the dragging process on the current item.	Func
isDragging	If item is currently being dragged.	Bool
reverseSelection	Call this to reverse the current selection of the item. If selected, item will become unselected and if unselected, item will become selected.	Func

Functions

Use refs to call the functions on an instance of the component.

Name	Params	Description	Returns
SelectAll()	None	Selects all of the items in the list and returns an array.	Array
DeselectAll()	None	Deselects all of the items in the list and returns an array.	Array
SelectionOverwrite()	SelectedItems: array	Manually overwrite the current selection array with your own selection array with items passed to data.	Null

Running the example expo app

1. git clone https://github.com/yoeven/react-native-multiselect-sortable-flatlist-2.git
2. cd react-native-multiselect-sortable-flatlist-2/examples
3. npm install or yarn
4. npm start or yarn start

How to contribute

Check out this simple tutorial

• Use prettier to format all code by running yarn run format.
• Test code locally by using examples project with expo or your project before requesting for a pull request.

How to test locally

1. After making changes to the project code, cd into the root of the project
2. Run npm pack which will build a package file with an extension .tgz
3. Now cd into your react-native project folder or the examples expo project folder and run yarn add <filename>.tgz or npm install <filename>.tgz
4. Run your project and test it works
5. If you are installing the package with the same version number, yarn and npm install the cached version instead, use yarn cache clean before adding the package into your project
