@react-brackets/native

Tournament brackets for React Native and Expo, from the same core as react-brackets.

• Native feel. Swipes, the change of round, pinch and zoom all run on the UI thread with Reanimated and Gesture Handler. React re-renders only once a swipe lands.
• Lines that never trail. Connectors are plain views moved by the same transforms as the cards, in the same frame, and stay sharp at any zoom. Dash, dot, colour or point each one with renderConnector, or draw your own.
• Still a bracket on a phone. Narrow screens page through one round at a time, with the next round and its lines at the edge, or as plain lists. Wide screens get the whole tree, scrolled, fitted or zoomed, standard or mirrored.
• Right to left. Follows your app's direction, or dir="rtl": the first round on the right, swiped the other way.
• Every format. Single and double elimination, round robin, Swiss and your own data, with results that move winners on.
• Styled your way. A light and dark theme out of the box, and a style on every part that can depend on its state, for StyleSheet, Uniwind, NativeWind or Unistyles.

Install

npx expo install @react-brackets/native react-native-reanimated react-native-worklets react-native-gesture-handler

It needs React Native's New Architecture, Reanimated 4 and Gesture Handler 3. Expo Go includes all of them.

Use

import { Bracket, singleElimination } from '@react-brackets/native';

const stage = singleElimination([
  { id: 'falcons', name: 'Falcons' },
  { id: 'wolves', name: 'Wolves' },
  { id: 'herons', name: 'Herons' },
  { id: 'lynx', name: 'Lynx' },
]);

export function Screen() {
  return <Bracket stage={stage} />;
}

Wrap your app in GestureHandlerRootView, as Gesture Handler asks. Inside a scrolling screen, use Gesture Handler's ScrollView, so a swipe across the bracket and a scroll down the page never fight over the same touch.

Layouts

<Bracket stage={stage} />                          // a round at a time, as a bracket
<Bracket stage={stage} compact="list" />           // a round at a time, as plain lists
<Bracket stage={stage} compactBelow={0} mode="pan-zoom" />  // the whole tree, to pinch and zoom
<Bracket stage={stage} dir="rtl" />                // right to left

Your own cards

<Bracket
  stage={stage}
  renderMatch={() => (
    <Bracket.Match style={({ live }) => [styles.card, live && styles.live]}>
      <Bracket.Participant slot={0} style={({ winner }) => winner && styles.winner} />
      <Bracket.Participant slot={1} style={({ winner }) => winner && styles.winner} />
    </Bracket.Match>
  )}
/>;

Bracket.Participant also takes a function as its child, to draw anything from the participant's state.

Your own controls

<Bracket.Root stage={stage} zoom={{ maxScale: 3 }} swipe={{ elasticity: 0 }}>
  <Bracket.Viewport mode="pan-zoom" controls={false} />
  <Bracket.Pagination>
    <Bracket.PreviousPage />
    <Bracket.PageIndicator />
    {stage.groups[0].rounds.map((round, index) => (
      <Bracket.PageButton key={round.id} index={index} />
    ))}
    <Bracket.NextPage />
  </Bracket.Pagination>
  <Bracket.ZoomControls />
</Bracket.Root>;

usePagination() and useZoom() drive your own buttons from anywhere inside Bracket.Root; position and scale are shared values, so what you draw follows a swipe or a pinch on the UI thread. On <Bracket>, renderPagination and renderZoomControls swap just those.

Theme

<Bracket stage={stage} theme={{ colors: { accent: '#ea580c' }, radius: 14 }} />;

Or set one for every bracket with BracketThemeProvider and createTheme. With Unistyles, withUnistyles(Bracket, (theme) => ({ theme: { colors: theme.bracket } })) keeps the bracket in step with your themes. With Uniwind, withUniwind(Bracket.Match) gives a card a className.

Smoothest in a development build

Reanimated can move views without a layout pass. Turn it on in your app's package.json, then rebuild:

{
  "reanimated": {
    "staticFeatureFlags": {
      "IOS_SYNCHRONOUSLY_UPDATE_UI_PROPS": true,
      "ANDROID_SYNCHRONOUSLY_UPDATE_UI_PROPS": true
    }
  }
}

The bracket only animates transforms and opacity, and its presses use Gesture Handler, so it is ready for this fast path.

Examples

examples/native is an Expo app with every example in the docs, from a quick start to an esports bracket you can play. See them recorded on an iPhone, with their code, at react-brackets.oulabi.dev/examples/native.
