ProgressView

A SwiftUI ProgressView component for displaying progress indicators.

iOS
tvOS

GitHub

npm

Changelog

Bundled version:
55.0.1

Expo UI ProgressView matches the official SwiftUI ProgressView API and supports styling via the progressViewStyle modifier.

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

Note: When using the linear style (which is the default for determinate progress), ProgressView is a flexible-width component, it expands to fill available horizontal space. When using matchContents on the Host, you should apply a frame modifier on the ProgressView to give it an explicit width. Alternatively, give the Host an explicit size using style (for example, style={{ width: 300 }} or style={{ flex: 1 }}). The circular style and indeterminate spinner have a fixed size and work with matchContents.

Indeterminate progress

When no value is provided, the progress view displays an indeterminate indicator (spinner).

IndeterminateExample.tsx
import { Host, ProgressView } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function IndeterminateExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <ProgressView />
    </Host>
  );
}

Determinate progress

Provide a value between 0 and 1 to show determinate progress.

DeterminateExample.tsx
import { Host, ProgressView } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function DeterminateExample() {
  return (
    <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <ProgressView value={0.5} />
    </Host>
  );
}

Progress view styles

Use the progressViewStyle modifier to change the progress view's appearance. Available styles are: automatic, linear, and circular.

ProgressViewStylesExample.tsx
import { Host, ProgressView, VStack } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';
import { progressViewStyle } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui/modifiers';

export default function ProgressViewStylesExample() {
  return (
    <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <ProgressView value={0.5} modifiers={[progressViewStyle('linear')]} />
    </Host>
  );
}

With label

You can pass custom components as children to provide a label for the progress view.

LabelExample.tsx
import { Host, ProgressView, Text } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function LabelExample() {
  return (
    <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <ProgressView value={0.25}>
        <Text>Loading...</Text>
      </ProgressView>
    </Host>
  );
}

Tinted progress view

Use the tint modifier to change the progress view's color.

TintedExample.tsx
import { Host, ProgressView } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';
import { tint } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui/modifiers';

export default function TintedExample() {
  return (
    <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <ProgressView value={0.7} modifiers={[tint('red')]} />
    </Host>
  );
}

Timer-based progress

Use the timerInterval prop to create a progress view that automatically animates over a time range. This is useful for showing countdown timers or timed operations.

Note: Timer-based progress is only available on iOS 16+ and tvOS 16+.

TimerExample.tsx
import { Host, ProgressView, Text, VStack } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function TimerExample() {
  const startDate = new Date();
  const endDate = new Date(Date.now() + 10000); // 10 seconds from now

  return (
    <Host style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <VStack spacing={16}>
        <ProgressView timerInterval={{ lower: startDate, upper: endDate }} />
        <ProgressView timerInterval={{ lower: startDate, upper: endDate }} countsDown={false}>
          <Text>Counting up</Text>
        </ProgressView>
      </VStack>
    </Host>
  );
}
