Can you expose ref property?

[borisjwork]

Hello,

I am migrating one project and I find this library very useful. I need to use scrollTo function from native ScrollView. Because of that, I need the possibility to set ref and use scrollTo function. Can you do this?

You can expose ref by yourself in your local package files.

Inside package files in KeyboardAvoiderScrollView.tsx add the following line in props type definition:

// * node_modules/@good-react-native/keyboard-avoider/src/components/KeyboardAvoiderScrollView.tsx

type Props = ScrollViewProps & CommonProps & {
    /**
     * What to do when the keyboard hides on iOS.
     * @option 'stay' - *Default* scroll view will not move when the keyboard hides (it will stay where it is.)
     * @option 'revert' - Scroll view will return to its original position when the keyboard hides. 
     */
    iosHideBehavior?: 'stay' | 'revert',
    scrollViewRef?: AnimatedRef<AnimatedScrollView>; //<- this line
}

Then change the ref to be passed prop in line 39:

const scrollviewRef = props.scrollViewRef;

To create ref in parent component write the code as below and then pass it to KeyboardAvoiderScrollView component:

const scrollViewRef = useAnimatedRef<ScrollView>();
