Haptics

Native wheels tick under your finger. Get the same feel with onValueChanging, which fires on every row crossing while scrolling. The library has no haptics dependency, so bring the one you already use.

expo-haptics​

npx expo install expo-haptics
import * as Haptics from 'expo-haptics';
import { WheelPicker, TimePicker, DatePicker } from '@elik56a/react-native-pickers';

const tick = () => Haptics.selectionAsync();

<WheelPicker items={items} value={v} onChange={setV} onValueChanging={tick} />
<TimePicker value={t} onChange={setT} onValueChanging={tick} />
<DatePicker display="wheel" value={d} onChange={setD} onValueChanging={tick} />

react-native-haptic-feedback​

import ReactNativeHapticFeedback from 'react-native-haptic-feedback';

const tick = () => ReactNativeHapticFeedback.trigger('selection', { enableVibrateFallback: false });
<WheelPicker onValueChanging={tick} … />

Confirm haptics​

For a stronger buzz when a value is confirmed, use onChange or a sheet's onConfirm:

<DatePickerSheet
  …
  onConfirm={(range) => {
    Haptics.notificationAsync(Haptics.NotificationFeedbackType.Success);
    setRange(range);
  }}
/>

Which components support onValueChanging​

ComponentCallback argument
WheelPicker(value, index)
MultiWheelPicker columns(value, index) per column
TimePicker / TimePickerSheet(date)
DateWheelPicker / DatePicker display="wheel"(date)
WheelPickerSheet(value, index)

Disabled rows don't trigger onValueChanging.
