      React Native Reanimated v4 Users

      If you're using React Native Reanimated v4, version 2.x of this library is recommended for the best experience.

      While v1.x may work with Reanimated v4, it's optimized for v3 and you might encounter deprecation warnings or compatibility issues.

      Important

      react-native-gesture-image-viewer is a high-performance viewer library built on react-native-reanimated and react-native-gesture-handler.
      Therefore, you must install React Native Reanimated and Gesture Handler before using this library. Please refer to the official documentation of these libraries for detailed setup guides.

      Minimum Requirements

      LibraryMinimum Version
      react>=18.0.0
      react-native>=0.75.0
      react-native-gesture-handler>=2.24.0
      react-native-reanimated>=3.0.0

      React Native Reanimated Setup

      npm
      yarn
      pnpm
      bun
      deno
      npm install react-native-reanimated

      Add the plugin to your babel.config.js:

      babel.config.js
      module.exports = {
  presets: [
    ... // don't add it here :)
  ],
  plugins: [
    ...
    // for web
    '@babel/plugin-transform-export-namespace-from',
    // react-native-reanimated/plugin has to be listed last.
    'react-native-reanimated/plugin',
  ],
};

      Wrap your Metro config with wrapWithReanimatedMetroConfig in metro.config.js:

      metro.config.js
      const { wrapWithReanimatedMetroConfig } = require('react-native-reanimated/metro-config');

const config = {
  // Your existing Metro configuration options
};

module.exports = wrapWithReanimatedMetroConfig(config);

      React Native Gesture Handler Setup

      npm
      yarn
      pnpm
      bun
      deno
      npm install react-native-gesture-handler
      • react-native-gesture-handler generally doesn't require additional setup, but please refer to the official documentation for your specific environment.
      • For using gestures in Android modals, you would normally need to wrap modal content with GestureHandlerRootView. However, this library already includes GestureHandlerRootView internally, so no additional wrapping is needed when using modals.
