Suggestion: Swipe Back

[pedrommcarrasco]

It would be great if it was possible to configure the Deck to be bidirectional as in:

• Swiping Right would push the current card to the bottom and show the next one
• Swiping Left would push the bottom card to the top

Hi @pedrommcarrasco

Good idea - I've so far implemented this with a "back" button, but it'd be great to have it purely gesture based!

I'm a bit curious tho how to make it feel intuitive from a skeuomorphic pop, when you're actually swiping the top card. I guess the bottom card could then be the one affected by the animation.

I also guess it'd make sense to configure each direction?

Exactly!

Yes, makes sense 👍

This is essential for flashcard type apps. Right means correct/yes, left means wrong/no. Usually going to the back of the stack is the default but may also be ejected w some logic (ideally in a callback that can intervene) for example when getting a card wrong repeatedly it's nice to stop showing it to the user for a while.

Cool, it should be pretty easy to fix.

Any ideas regarding how to best design the api are more than welcome 👍

@pedrommcarrasco @aehlke I don't know if this is still relevant to you, but I'd love to get it working. Do you have an example that I can look at for inspiration?

[aehlke]

I haven't picked up that work yet, won't get to this for some more months

You might use https://github.com/dadalar/SwiftUI-CardStackView as reference (though it's unmaintained now so see /network for its updated forks)

Thank you!
