Open source pull-to-refresh component

[ide]

Another one of those staples on mobile. It would be ideal to be able to compose it with ListViews, ScrollViews, etc.

+1 I would love to see support for horizontal ScrollViews as well.

Horizontal scroll view is already supported. horizontal={true}

For pull to refresh, it's actually quite easy to build. we haven't yet figured out how many components we want to provide, so it's up in the air if this one is going to be provided by us vs the community

[ide]

@vjeux Most of the Apple components are useful to have because they have a lot of subtle details that take work to get right so it's helpful to have some robust implementations:

• Pull-to-refresh spinner: animate based on the scroll position, "snap" to provide visual feedback when the refresh action begins
• Table view: cell animation, separator placement
• Navigation controller: nav bar interpolation, animating in new screens on-demand
• Collection view: this is hard to build but supports a lot of layouts and animations

@vjeux Sorry, I meant the pull-to-refresh to have support for horizontal scrollviews. The default one from Apple doesn't have that support.

@vjeux Could we get an update on the pull-to-refresh component? Beyond being a really common UI element I believe the gesture-based animation that you described in #46 requires some thought to build, and it probably makes sense for 3rd party components to share a style interpolation technique.

[vjeux]

Nothing planed on our end sorry :( Already have a ton of work to expose all the components we have internally. Hopefully you or someone from the community can pick it up and put it on npm. If it's good quality we may want to embed it into core down the line

[ide]

@vjeux sounds reasonable. could you throw the style interpolation code over the wall as a starting point?

[ide]

There's enough of a foundation now that this can be built independently.
