The carousel works on Android but not on the web. There is no animation. It looks like I'm not the only one with this problem. https://www.reddit.com/r/reactnative/comments/1arwpwr/react_native_reanimated_carousel_not_working_for/

Hey @joker-777, I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you might have. Let's figure this out together!

To resolve the issue where the animation for the carousel works on Android but not on the web in React Native, you need to ensure that the react-native-reanimated library is properly configured for web support. This typically involves setting up Babel and Webpack configurations correctly.

Here is a step-by-step guide to ensure react-native-reanimated works on the web:

1. Install necessary dependencies: Ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed, including react-native-reanimated and react-native-web.

   npm install react-native-reanimated react-native-web
   

2. Update Babel configuration: Make sure your Babel configuration includes the react-native-reanimated/plugin.

   Create or update your babel.config.js file:

   module.exports = {
     presets: ['module:metro-react-native-babel-preset'],
     plugins: ['react-native-reanimated/plugin'],
   };
   

3. Update Webpack configuration: Ensure your Webpack configuration is set up to handle react-native-reanimated.

   Create or update your webpack.config.js file:

   const path = require('path');
   const webpack = require('webpack');
   
   module.exports = {
     entry: './index.js',
     output: {
       path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
       filename: 'bundle.js',
     },
     resolve: {
       alias: {
         'react-native$': 'react-native-web',
       },
       extensions: ['.web.js', '.js'],
     },
     module: {
       rules: [
         {
           test: /\.(js|jsx)$/,
           exclude: /node_modules/,
           use: {
             loader: 'babel-loader',
             options: {
               presets: ['module:metro-react-native-babel-preset'],
               plugins: ['react-native-reanimated/plugin'],
             },
           },
         },
       ],
     },
     plugins: [
       new webpack.DefinePlugin({
         __DEV__: JSON.stringify(true),
       }),
     ],
   };
   

4. Ensure react-native-reanimated is properly initialized: Make sure to add the following at the top of your entry file (e.g., index.js or App.js):

   import 'react-native-reanimated';
   

5. Use react-native-reanimated-carousel for better compatibility: Consider using the react-native-reanimated-carousel component, which is fully implemented using react-native-reanimated v2 and supports iOS, Android, and Web. Here is an example of how to use it:

   import React from "react";
   import { StyleSheet } from "react-native";
   import { GestureHandlerRootView } from "react-native-gesture-handler";
   import Carousel from "react-native-reanimated-carousel";
   
   const MyCarousel = () => {
     const data = [...Array(10).keys()]; // Example data
   
     return (
       <GestureHandlerRootView>
         <Carousel
           data={data}
           renderItem={({ item }) => <ItemRenderer item={item} />}
           width={300}
           height={200}
           autoPlay
           loop
         />
       </GestureHandlerRootView>
     );
   };
   
   const ItemRenderer = ({ item }) => (
     <View style={styles.item}>
       <Text>{item}</Text>
     </View>
   );
   
   const styles = StyleSheet.create({
     item: {
       width: 300,
       height: 200,
       justifyContent: 'center',
       alignItems: 'center',
       backgroundColor: 'lightgrey',
     },
   });
   
   export default MyCarousel;
   

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and have the carousel animation working on both Android and the web in React Native ^[1][2].

same here. Does somebody have any workaround or way to resolve it? Web support is important for me

same problem.

I have same issue on animate auto play and can not scroll my items can anybody help me?

Updating to the Alpha version worked for me and others: https://github.com/dohooo/react-native-reanimated-carousel/issues/509#issuecomment-1916275995

Same problem. Carousel doesn't loop, doesn't show animations. I'm using latest "react-native-reanimated-carousel": "^4.0.0-alpha.12"

check this out https://github.com/dohooo/react-native-reanimated-carousel/issues/509#issuecomment-2360228248

Hello. I am facing the same issue. Unfortunately, updating to the alpha version did not help me. Do you have any updates on the issue?

@nagykrisztianendre Yes, I tried it yesterday too and the whole gallery didn't show up at all. Instead, I saw warnings related to the react-native-gesture-handler. Did this happen to you too?

@nagykrisztianendre Yes, I tried it yesterday too and the whole gallery didn't show up at all. Instead, I saw warnings related to the react-native-gesture-handler. Did this happen to you too?

@joker-777 For me, the carousel did show up, but it was stuck on the first item. I also saw a warning related to react-native-gesture-handler.

@nagykrisztianendre Hmm, ok, then I have to check again why it didn't show up. Anyway, as a workaround, I use the swiperjs for web.

@joker-777

I was finally able to resolve the issue after making the following changes:

1. Babel configuration change: I added the @babel/plugin-transform-export-namespace-from plugin to .babelrc or babel.config.js:

[
  '@babel/plugin-transform-export-namespace-from',
  'react-native-reanimated/plugin',
],

3. Webpack configuration change: I added 'react-native' to the compileNodeModules array in my Webpack config:

const compileNodeModules = [
  'react-native',
].map((moduleName) => path.resolve(appDirectory, `node_modules/${moduleName}`));

After applying these changes, everything worked perfectly for me. Hopefully, this helps anyone else facing similar issues!

@nagykrisztianendre

Are you using Expo SDK51?

I am facing a similar issue, where react-native-reanimated-carousel is working on native but not working on web. Since I am using Expo SKD51 which uses Metro to bundle, I don't have an webpack.config.js but a metro.config.js. So far there was no need to make use of a metro.config.js, but to solve this I added a basic config.

I followed a similar approach to yours:

const { getDefaultConfig } = require("@expo/metro-config");
const path = require("path");

const appDirectory = process.cwd();

const compileNodeModules = ["react-native"].map((moduleName) =>
  path.resolve(appDirectory, `node_modules/${moduleName}`),
);

// eslint-disable-next-line no-undef
const defaultConfig = getDefaultConfig(path.resolve(__dirname));

module.exports = {
  ...defaultConfig,
  watchFolders: [...(defaultConfig.watchFolders || []), ...compileNodeModules],
  transformer: {
    ...defaultConfig.transformer,
    getTransformOptions: async () => ({
      transform: {
        experimentalImportSupport: false,
        inlineRequires: true,
      },
    }),
  },
  resolver: {
    ...defaultConfig.resolver,
    nodeModulesPaths: [
      ...(defaultConfig.resolver.nodeModulesPaths || []),
      ...compileNodeModules,
    ],
  },
};

But after applying these changes, I still don't have a functioning carousel on web. Any ideas?

@Seborider Use Version above 4.0.0 or 4.0.0-canary.17 it'll work

#509 (comment)

@nagykrisztianendre were you abel to fix the issue with teh carousel getting stuck at index 0? I'm not able to scrollTo anymore

If you're encountering the findDOMNode warning from react-native-gesture-handler, the issue has been addressed in the following PRs:

#3127 #3197 These changes have already been released in version 2.21.0.

To resolve the warning, please update react-native-gesture-handler to version 2.21.0 or above.

Hi, @joker-777. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the react-native-reanimated-carousel team manage their backlog. I'm marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

• The carousel animation works on Android but not on the web.
• Suggested solutions included proper configuration of react-native-reanimated for web, which received negative feedback.
• Updating to an Alpha version resolved the issue for some users.
• A workaround with Babel and Webpack configurations helped others, but users like @Seborider using Expo SDK51 faced challenges due to the lack of Webpack configuration.

Next Steps:

• Please confirm if this issue is still relevant with the latest version of the react-native-reanimated-carousel.
• If the issue persists, comment to keep the discussion open; otherwise, it will be automatically closed in 7 days.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
