Question 1

How to add icons to react-native-switch-selector?

Accepted Answer

Use the customIcon prop for JSX elements or imageIcon for image sources in the options array. For example, define options with imageIcon set to require('./path/to/image.png'), as shown in the README's custom example.

Question 2

Is react-native-switch-selector accessible for screen readers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it has built-in accessibilityLabel and testID props at both the component and individual option levels, making it compatible with screen readers and testing tools like Appium, per the documentation.

Question 3

react-native-switch-selector vs react-native-segmented-control: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

SwitchSelector is better for animated, highly customizable toggle switches with smooth transitions, while segmented-control is simpler for basic segmented buttons. Choose based on your need for polish vs. simplicity.

Question 4

How to change the animation speed in switch selector?

Accepted Answer

Adjust the animationDuration prop in milliseconds; the default is 250ms, but you can set it higher for slower animations or lower for faster ones to match your app's feel.

Question 5

Can I use switch selector with Formik or React Hook Form?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but integration requires manual handling. Use the onPress callback to update form state, as SwitchSelector doesn't have built-in support for form libraries, so you'll need to wire it up yourself.

Question 6

What happens if I disable the switch selector?

Accepted Answer

Set the disabled prop to true; this grays out the component and prevents user interactions, as noted in the props table, but styling for disabled states might need additional customization.
