Per Row Behavior

June 14, 2026 ยท View on GitHub

If you need rows to behave independently you can return a <SwipeRow> in the renderItem function. Make sure you import the <SwipeRow> in addition to the <SwipeListView>. See the example below and the <SwipeRow /> API for how to implement a custom <SwipeRow>. There is also a full example in example/examples/per_row_config.tsx.

Note: returning a <SwipeRow> from renderItem is the explicit per-row path. The implicit detection (a <SwipeRow> returned without a renderHiddenItem) still works in v4 but is deprecated and will be removed in v5.

The following values can be dynamic by passing them as props on the <SwipeRow>:

  • leftOpenValue
  • rightOpenValue
  • stopLeftSwipe
  • stopRightSwipe
  • closeOnRowPress
  • disableLeftSwipe
  • disableRightSwipe
  • recalculateHiddenLayout
  • directionalDistanceChangeThreshold
  • leftActivationValue
  • rightActivationValue
  • leftActionValue
  • rightActionValue
  • initialLeftActionState
  • initialRightActionState
import { SwipeListView, SwipeRow } from 'react-native-swipe-list-view';

<SwipeListView
    data={data}
    renderItem={ (rowData, rowMap) => (
        <SwipeRow
            disableRightSwipe={parseInt(rowData.item.key) % 2 !== 0}
            disableLeftSwipe={parseInt(rowData.item.key) % 2 === 0}
            leftOpenValue={20 + parseInt(rowData.item.key) * 5}
            rightOpenValue={-150}
            leftActivationValue={200}
        >
            <View style={styles.rowBack}>
                <Text>Left Hidden</Text>
                <Text>Right Hidden</Text>
            </View>
            <View style={styles.rowFront}>
                <Text>Row front | {rowData.item.key}</Text>
            </View>
        </SwipeRow>
    )}
/>

Setting per row behavior using data

You can also customize your individual rows by passing in your row's data next props:

  • leftOpenValue
  • rightOpenValue
  • closeOnRowPress
  • disableLeftSwipe
  • disableRightSwipe
  • stopLeftSwipe
  • stopRightSwipe
  • leftActivationValue
  • rightActivationValue
  • leftActionValue
  • rightActionValue
  • initialLeftActionState
  • initialRightActionState

Example:

const dataSource = [
    {
        name: 'Andy',
        age: 12,
        disableRightSwipe: true,
    },
    {
        name: 'Betty',
        age: 11,
        leftOpenValue: 150,
    },
    {
        name: 'Carl',
        age: 11,
        leftActivationValue: 200,
    },
];
