react-native-gesture-handler is a library for handling complex gestures. From it's README:

This library provides an API that exposes mobile platform-specific native capabilities of touch and gesture handling and recognition. It allows for defining complex gesture handling and recognition logic that runs 100% in the native thread and is therefore deterministic.

Installation

Terminal

- npx expo install react-native-gesture-handler

If you are installing this in an existing React Native app (bare workflow), start by installing expo in your project. Then, follow the additional instructions as mentioned by library's README under "Installation in bare React Native projects" section.

Usage

Read the react-native-gesture-handler documentation for more information on the API and usage.
