  • for RN 0.60.0 ... 0.71.X, use react-native-keyboard-manager@6.5.11-2
  • for RN 0.53.0 ... 0.59.10, use react-native-keyboard-manager@4.0.13-12

Install

  1. Install the JavaScript dependency:

    yarn add react-native-keyboard-manager

    Or

    npm i -S react-native-keyboard-manager
  2. Add the CocoaPods dependency to your ios/Podfile:

    # Add temporary IQKeyboardManagerSwift fork to solve problems with PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy
    pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift', :git => 'https://github.com/douglasjunior/IQKeyboardManager.git', :branch => 'react-native-keyboard-manager'

    To automate this process on Expo you may need to create a plugin, see #111 (comment)

  3. Run the CocoaPods installation:

    cd ios
    pod install
  4. (optional) To force IQKeyboardManagerSwift update with the latest commit:

    cd ios
    pod update IQKeyboardManagerSwift

Done! 🎉

Post install

Because IQKeyboardManager is written in Swift, you need to enable Swift on your native Xcode project.

  1. Open ios/YourAppName.xcworkspace in Xcode
  2. Right-click on YourAppName in the Project Navigator on the left, and click New File.
  3. Create a single empty Swift file to the project (make sure that YourAppName target is selected when adding)
  4. When Xcode asks, press Create Bridging Header and do not remove Swift file then.
  5. Re-run your build.

Usage

It does not need any extra library setup to work, just install and go.

But, if you need some configuration, there are some options available.

import { Platform } from 'react-native';
import KeyboardManager from 'react-native-keyboard-manager';

if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
    KeyboardManager.setEnable(true);
    KeyboardManager.setEnableDebugging(false);
    KeyboardManager.setKeyboardDistanceFromTextField(10);
    KeyboardManager.setLayoutIfNeededOnUpdate(true);
    KeyboardManager.setEnableAutoToolbar(true);
    KeyboardManager.setToolbarDoneBarButtonItemText("Done");
    KeyboardManager.setToolbarManageBehaviourBy("subviews"); // "subviews" | "tag" | "position"
    KeyboardManager.setToolbarPreviousNextButtonEnable(false);
    KeyboardManager.setToolbarTintColor('#0000FF'); // Only #000000 format is supported
    KeyboardManager.setToolbarBarTintColor('#FFFFFF'); // Only #000000 format is supported
    KeyboardManager.setShouldShowToolbarPlaceholder(true);
    KeyboardManager.setOverrideKeyboardAppearance(false);
    KeyboardManager.setKeyboardAppearance("default"); // "default" | "light" | "dark"
    KeyboardManager.setShouldResignOnTouchOutside(true);
    KeyboardManager.setShouldPlayInputClicks(true);
    KeyboardManager.resignFirstResponder();
    KeyboardManager.isKeyboardShowing()
      .then((isShowing) => {
          // ...
      });
}

For more details, see the Sample Project and the official IQKeyboardManager documentation.

Enable Next/Previous buttons

If you want to use Next/Previous buttons, enable it.

if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
    KeyboardManager.setToolbarPreviousNextButtonEnable(true);
}

And if you want to use Next/Previous buttons inside a Modal, you need to wrap the fields in a PreviousNextView.

import { PreviousNextView } from 'react-native-keyboard-manager';

class App extends Component {
  render() {
      return (
          <View {...} >
              // others views
              <Modal {...} >
                  // others views
                  <PreviousNextView style={...} >
                      // all TextInput
                  </PreviousNextView>
              </Modal>
          </View>
      );
  }
}
