iOS	Android	Web

Getting started

Install the library using either Yarn:

yarn add @react-native-community/segmented-control

or npm:

npm install --save @react-native-community/segmented-control

Link

React Native 0.60+

The package is automatically linked when building the app. All you need to do is:

npx pod-install

For android, no linking is needed, as the module is implemented in js.

For React Native version 0.59 or older

### React Native <= 0.59

run react-native link @react-native-community/segmented-control

or you can follow the instructions to manually link this package.

Upgrading to React Native 0.60+

New React Native comes with autolinking feature, which automatically links Native Modules in your project. In order to get it to work, make sure you unlink Segmented Control first:

react-native unlink @react-native-community/segmented-control

Migrating from the core react-native module

This module was created when the segmentedControlIos was split out from the core of React Native. To migrate to this module you need to follow the installation instructions above and then change you imports from:

import {SegmentedControlIOS} from 'react-native';

to:

import SegmentedControl from '@react-native-community/segmented-control';

Usage

Start by importing the library:

Use SegmentedControl to render a UISegmentedControl iOS.

Programmatically changing selected index

The selected index can be changed on the fly by assigning the selectedIndex prop to a state variable, then changing that variable. Note that the state variable would need to be updated as the user selects a value and changes the index, as shown in the example below.

import SegmentedControl from '@react-native-community/segmented-control';

return (
  <SegmentedControl
    values={['One', 'Two']}
    selectedIndex={this.state.selectedIndex}
    onChange={(event) => {
      this.setState({selectedIndex: event.nativeEvent.selectedSegmentIndex});
    }}
  />
);
