  • Create multiple instances to recreate stories by multiple users easily, jump to stories using props
  • Prop based control, event callbacks
  • Custom JSX gives control to pause/play story
  • (for devs) TypeScript πŸŽ‰

Install

npm install --save react-insta-stories

Demo

The component responds to actions like tap on right side for next story, on left for previous and tap and hold for pause. Custom time duration for each story can be provided. See it in action here: https://mohitk05.github.io/react-insta-stories/

Usage

import React, { Component } from 'react';

import Stories from 'react-insta-stories';

class App extends Component {
	render() {
		return (
			<Stories
				stories={stories}
				defaultInterval={1500}
				width={432}
				height={768}
			/>
		);
	}
}

const stories = [
 	//πŸ†•! Rendering Components instead of video or images can now be done by passing a 'content' property into the story. 
	//The props contain properties 'action'(fn) and 'isPaused'(bool)
  	{
                content: ({action, isPaused}) => {
		  const handleClick=(e)=>{e.preventDefault(); action(isPaused ? 'play': 'pause') };
                  return (
                    <div onClick={handleClick}>
                  	<h2>Hi</h2>
			<span>{isPaused ? 'Paused' : 'Playing'}</span>
                    </div>
                  );
