Not possible to manipulate the configuration of a gesture on the fly through its ref like in the old API

[haibert]

@haibert Unfortunately, that's not possible at the moment. I know it's not an ideal replacement, but you could use state instead of shared value to accomplish a similar effect.

DESCRIPTION

is it possible to add the ability to do this with the new API?

USED TO WORK

panGestureHandlerRef.current?.setNativeProps({
            activeOffsetX: [-999, 0.1],
            failOffsetX: [-0.1, 999],
        })
        

I DONT THINK THIS WORKS ?

    const activeOffsetX = useSharedValue([])
    const failOffsetX = useSharedValue([])

    const lockScrollable = () => {
           activeOffsetX.value = [-999, 0.1]
           failOffsetX.value = [-0.1, 999]
    }

    const gesture = Gesture.Pan()
        .activeOffsetX(activeOffsetX.value)
        .failOffsetX(failOffsetX.value)
        .withRef(panGestureHandlerRef)
        .simultaneousWithExternalGesture(cardGestureHandlerRef)

Hey! 👋

It looks like you've omitted a few important sections from the issue template.

Please complete Description section.

At the moment we have no plans to add support for it, however you could accomplish a similar effect using the manual gestures (or manual activation) in combination with touch events. This may require a lot of boilerplate code though.
