RevealSwipe

RevealSwipe is a Compose UI component library built for swipe-to-reveal interactions. With this library, you can wrap content and reveal hidden composables (e.g. action icons) when swiping left or right.

[!NOTE]
🚀 RevealSwipe is now Compose Multiplatform

🧩 What it does

  • You can configure swipe directions (start → end, end → start).
  • For each direction, you can supply hidden content (e.g. an icon, button, or any composable).
  • The main content (your card, list item, etc.) slides over to reveal the hidden content beneath.
  • You remain in control over layout, styling, and when/if the reveal should trigger for a full swipe or partial swipe.
  • Works natively with Material 3 styling and theming.

Dependency

Add actual RevealSwipe library:

dependencies {
    implementation 'de.charlex.compose:revealswipe:3.1.0-rc02'
}

How does it work?

Surround your content with the RevealSwipe

RevealSwipe(
    modifier = Modifier.padding(vertical = 5.dp),
    directions = setOf(
//        RevealDirection.StartToEnd,
        RevealDirection.EndToStart
    ),
    hiddenContentStart = {
        Icon(
            modifier = Modifier.padding(horizontal = 25.dp),
            imageVector = Icons.Outlined.Star,
            contentDescription = null,
            tint = Color.White
        )
    },
    hiddenContentEnd = {
        Icon(
            modifier = Modifier.padding(horizontal = 25.dp),
            imageVector = Icons.Outlined.Delete,
            contentDescription = null
        )
    }
) {
    Card(
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize().requiredHeight(80.dp),
        backgroundColor = Color(item.second),
        shape = it,
    ){
        Text(
            modifier = Modifier.padding(start = 20.dp, top = 20.dp),
            text = item.first
        )
    }
}
