Installation

Terminal

- npx expo install @expo/ui

If you are installing this in an existing React Native app, make sure to install expo in your project.

Usage

Basic lazy row

BasicLazyRow.tsx

import { Host, LazyRow, Text } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

const items = Array.from({ length: 100 }, (_, i) => `Item ${i + 1}`);

export default function BasicLazyRow() {
  return (
    <Host style={{ height: 100 }}>
      <LazyRow>
        {items.map(item => (
          <Text key={item}>{item}</Text>
        ))}
      </LazyRow>
    </Host>
  );
}

With arrangement

Use the horizontalArrangement prop to control how items are spaced within the list. Pass a string value like 'spaceBetween' or an object like { spacedBy: 8 } for fixed spacing in dp.

LazyRowArrangement.tsx

import { Host, LazyRow, Text } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

export default function LazyRowArrangement() {
  return (
    <Host style={{ height: 100 }}>
      <LazyRow horizontalArrangement={{ spacedBy: 16 }} verticalAlignment="center">
        <Text>Spaced item 1</Text>
        <Text>Spaced item 2</Text>
        <Text>Spaced item 3</Text>
      </LazyRow>
    </Host>
  );
}

With content padding

Use the contentPadding prop to add padding around the list content in dp.

LazyRowPadding.tsx

import { Host, LazyRow, Text } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

export default function LazyRowPadding() {
  return (
    <Host style={{ height: 100 }}>
      <LazyRow contentPadding={{ start: 16, top: 8, end: 16, bottom: 8 }}>
        <Text>Padded item 1</Text>
        <Text>Padded item 2</Text>
        <Text>Padded item 3</Text>
      </LazyRow>
    </Host>
  );
}
