## What it does

This skill covers the consumer side of `@lodev09/react-native-true-sheet` v4 — picking the right integration pattern, applying the public API, and sidestepping platform-specific traps. It ships a comparison table of control patterns (ref, named sheets with global methods, `TrueSheetProvider` plus `useTrueSheet()`, the navigator, `ReanimatedTrueSheet`), a breakdown of detents, recipes for scrollable content, and links to references for advanced setups.

It expects React Native >= 0.82 (Expo SDK 55+) on the New Architecture. That is a hard requirement, not a suggestion. Web support also needs `@radix-ui/react-dialog` and `@radix-ui/react-presence`, listed as optional peer dependencies. Static methods like `TrueSheet.present('profile')` exist on native only, so on web you go through the provider instead.

Content layout is the other thing worth knowing before you start. In v4 the sheet wraps its children's height and does not fill itself, which means a `flex: 1` child collapses to zero. To stretch content across the visible height of a detent, pass `flex: 1` through the sheet's `style` prop. The skill also helps when you migrate from v3 to v4 or when gestures and layout misbehave during a drag.

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/lodev09/react-native-true-sheet/tree/HEAD/skills/truesheet-usage/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- pick a sheet control pattern that fits your screen tree
- build a sheet with detents, a grabber and rounded corners
- wire a scroll view into the sheet via `scrollableRef`
- drive sheets from React Navigation or Expo Router flows
- fix a `flex: 1` child that collapses inside sheet content

## Example prompts
- Add a bottom sheet to the profile screen with TrueSheet, detents 0.5 and 1
- Why does my sheet content collapse to zero height with flex: 1?
- Migrate the sheet from v3 to v4 and show what changed in the API

  Consumer-side guide for integrating @lodev09/react-native-true-sheet into a React Native app.
  Use this skill whenever the user wants to add, configure, control, or debug a bottom sheet using TrueSheet —
  including ref-based sheets, named global sheets, web support with TrueSheetProvider/useTrueSheet,
  React Navigation or Expo Router sheet flows, Reanimated-driven animations, scrolling content,
  stacking, headers/footers, detents, peeking, side sheets, keyboard handling, dimming, backgrounds, liquid glass,
  and Jest testing. Also use when the user is migrating from v3 to v4, troubleshooting layout or
  gesture issues, or asking about any TrueSheet prop, event, or method — even if they don't
  mention "TrueSheet" by name but describe a bottom sheet in a React Native context.

# TrueSheet Consumer Guide

Use this skill to produce correct, idiomatic code for apps that consume `@lodev09/react-native-true-sheet` (v4). It covers choosing the right integration pattern, applying the public API correctly, and avoiding platform-specific pitfalls.

Requires React Native >= 0.82 (Expo SDK 55+) with the New Architecture.

## Quick Start

The simplest sheet: a ref, a button, and some content.

```tsx
import { useRef } from 'react'
import { Button, Text, View } from 'react-native'
import { TrueSheet } from '@lodev09/react-native-true-sheet'

export function App() {
  const sheet = useRef<TrueSheet>(null)

  return (
    <View>
      <Button title="Open" onPress={() => sheet.current?.present()} />
      <TrueSheet ref={sheet} detents={['auto']} cornerRadius={24} grabber>
        <View style={{ padding: 16 }}>
          <Text>Hello from the sheet</Text>
          <Button title="Close" onPress={() => sheet.current?.dismiss()} />
        </View>
      </TrueSheet>
    </View>
  )
}
```

## Content Layout (v4)

The sheet's content lays out **naturally** — it wraps its children's height like a regular view or a React Navigation screen. It does **not** fill the sheet by default. Consequences:

- A `flex: 1` child collapses to zero height unless the content is filled.
- To fill the sheet's visible height per detent (spacers, centered content, bounded scroll views), pass `flex: 1` via the sheet's `style` prop:

```tsx
<TrueSheet style={{ flex: 1 }} detents={[0.5, 1]}>
  <View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center' }}>
    <Text>Centered</Text>
````
