Swipeout (Swipeable List)

Swipeout is an extension of list view that allows you to swipe over list elements to reveal hidden menu with available actions, like swipe-to-delete.

Swipeout Layout

Let's look on layout structure of swipeout element in your list views:

<div class="list">
  <ul>
    <!-- Additional "swipeout" class on li -->
    <li class="swipeout">
      <!-- Usual list element wrapped with "swipeout-content" -->
      <div class="swipeout-content">
        <!-- Your list element here -->
        <div class="item-content">
          <div class="item-media">...</div>
          <div class="item-inner">...</div>
        </div>
      </div>
      <!-- Swipeout actions left -->
      <div class="swipeout-actions-left">
        <!-- Swipeout actions links/buttons -->
        <a href="#">Action 1</a>
        <a href="#">Action 2</a>
      </div>
      <!-- Swipeout actions right -->
      <div class="swipeout-actions-right">
        <!-- Swipeout actions links/buttons -->
        <a href="#" class="swipeout-close">Action 1</a>
        <a href="#" class="swipeout-delete">Delete</a>
      </div>
    </li>
    ...
  </ul>
</div>

Where:

  • swipeout-content - wrapper for your list element. This container will move during swipe over the list item
  • swipeout-actions-left - container with left swipeout action buttons/links
  • swipeout-actions-right - container with right swipeout action buttons/links
  • swipeout-close - additional class on swipeout link that will close swipeout element when you click this link
  • swipeout-delete - additional class on swipeout link that will delete swipeout list item when you click this link

Note that swipeout-content and swipeout-actions-left/right should be direct children of <li>

If you have only "item-content" you can simplify layout by adding "item-content" class to "swipeout-content":

<li class="swipeout">
  <div class="swipeout-content item-content">
    <div class="item-media">...</div>
    <div class="item-inner">...</div>
  </div>
  <div class="swipeout-actions-right">
    <a href="#">Action 1</a>
    <a href="#">Action 2</a>
  </div>
</li>

If you use link items the layout will be following:

<li class="swipeout">
  <div class="swipeout-content">
    <a href="#" class="item-content item-link">
      <div class="item-media">...</div>
      <div class="item-inner">...</div>
    </a>
  </div>
  <div class="swipeout-actions-right">
    <a href="#">Action 1</a>
    <a href="#">Action 2</a>
  </div>
</li>

Swipe To Delete

Framework7 supports this frequently used feature from the box without single line of JavaScript. All you need is to add swipeout-delete class to swipeout actions buttons:

<li class="swipeout">
  <div class="swipeout-content item-content">
    <div class="item-media">...</div>
    <div class="item-inner">...</div>
  </div>
  <div class="swipeout-actions-right">
    <!-- Add this button and item will be deleted automatically -->
    <a href="#" class="swipeout-delete">Delete</a>
  </div>
</li>

It is also possible to call Confirm modal when user clicks on "Delete" button, and element will be removed only after confirmation. To make delete on confirmation you need to add additional data-confirm and data-confirm-title (optional) attributes to Delete link:

<li class="swipeout">
  <div class="swipeout-content item-content">
    <div class="item-media">...</div>
    <div class="item-inner">...</div>
  </div>
  <div class="swipeout-actions-right">
    <!-- We add data-confirm and data-confirm-title attributes -->
    <a href="#" class="swipeout-delete" data-confirm="Are you sure want to delete this item?" data-confirm-title="Delete?">Delete</a>
  </div>
</li>

Overswipe

Swipeouts also support "overswipe" actions that will be triggered automatically if you swipe actions too much. In this case we need to add swipeout-overswipe class to required actions button:

<li class="swipeout">
  <div class="swipeout-content item-content">
    <div class="item-media">...</div>
    <div class="item-inner">...</div>
  </div>
  <div class="swipeout-actions-right">
    <a href="#">More</a>
    <a href="#" class="swipeout-delete swipeout-overswipe">Delete</a>
    </div>
  </div>
</li>
  • overswipe can be used only on last button in right swipeout actions, and only on first button in left swipeout actions.

  • With overswipe, script will automatically trigger "click" event on overswipe button, so you need to add appropriate event listener to this button

  • Overswipe button will have additional swipeout-overswipe-active class during overswipe which you can use for additional styling of such state

<li class="swipeout">
  <div class="swipeout-content">
    <a href="#" class="item-content item-link">
      ...
    </a>
  </div>
  <div class="swipeout-actions-left">
    <a href="#" class="swipeout-overswipe bg-green reply">Reply</a>
    <a href="#" class="bg-blue forward">Forward</a>
  </div>
  <div class="swipeout-actions-right">
    <a href="#" class="mark bg-orange">Mark</a>
    <a href="#" class="swipeout-delete swipeout-overswipe">Delete</a>
  </div>
</li>

Swipeout App Methods

Swipeouts also has rich JavaScript API that allows you to control swipeout elements. Let's look on appropriate App's methods:

app.swipeout.open(el, side, callback) - reveal swipeout actions on specified element

  • el - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector) of list (<li>) element with "swipeout" class. Required
  • side - string (could be "left" or "right") swipeout actions to open. Should be specified if item has both left and right swipeout actions. Optional
  • callback - function - callback function will be executed after swipeout element completes its opening animation

app.swipeout.close(el, callback) - close swipeout actions on specified element

  • el - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector) of list (<li>) element with "swipeout" class. Required
  • callback - function - callback function will be executed after swipeout element completes its closing animation

app.swipeout.delete(el, callback) - delete specified swipeout element

  • el - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector) of list (<li>) element with "swipeout" class. Required
  • callback - function - callback function will be executed after swipeout element completes its delete animation right before it will be removed from DOM

app.swipeout.el - property. Currently opened swipeout HTMLElement. Or undefined if there is no opened swipeout element

Swipeout App Parameters

It is possible to configure global swipeout behavior on app initialisation by passing swipeout related paremeters under swipeout property.

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
noFollowbooleanfalseFallback option for potentially better performance on old/slow devices. If you enable it, then swipeout item will not follow your finger during touch, it will be automatically opened/closed on swipe left/right.
removeElementsbooleantrueWhen disabled, then framework will not remove swipeout element from DOM on "swipeout-delete" click. Useful to enable if you use another library like Vue or React to manage (remove) swipeout items
removeElementsWithTimeoutbooleanfalseWhen enabled, then framework will remove swipeout element from DOM on "swipeout-delete" click after specified delay
removeElementsTimeoutnumber0Delay in ms to remove swipeout item if removeElementsWithTimeout is enabled.
overswipeRationumber1.2Defines how much/hard needed to swipe to trigger overswipe (defaults to 1.2)

To change these parameters we need to pass them on app init under swipeout property, for example:

var app = new Framework7({
  swipeout: {
    noFollow: true,
    removeElements: false
  }
});

Swipeout Events

Swipeout will fire the following DOM events and events on app instance:
