Simple spinner for any image file or link that is supported within React Native. Perfect for using a custom icon or image in a loading screen.
First install the package using the following:
npm i react-native-spinning-image
or
yarn add react-native-spinning-image
Import the package into your React Native file.
import SpinningImage from 'react-native-spinning-image';Note
If you you are using an http link you can just enter the link into the source property. However, if you are using a static or local asset you must require it first as follows:
const imageSource = require('../PathToImage');Add the Loader to your component.
<SpinningImage source={imageSource} />or
<SpinningImage source='https://link-to-image' />You can also adjust settings like in the example below:
<SpinningImage
source={imageSource}
speed={3000}
rotations={5}
height={400}
width={300}
direction='counter'
/>| Property | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
source |
None | Image source. Enter as a string if using a web url and use a require variable if using a local image as shown in the above example. A source property is required. |
speed |
5000 | Speed of image rotation in milliseconds. A higher number is a slower rotation speed. |
rotations |
null | Set number of rotations for image to spin. It will spin infinitely without an entered property value or a property value of 0 |
height |
200 | Sets height of image |
width |
200 | Sets width of image |
direction |
null | Set to "counter" to make it spin counterclockwise. |
- As of now this is written as a class component since React Hooks do not work well with some tools like Expo. Once it becomes stable I will switch this over to a React Hook.
