## Examples
### Minimal example
```js
import React from 'react'
import { Text } from 'react-native'
import SectionListSidebar from 'react-native-sectionlist-sidebar'
export default class MinimalExampleScreen extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<SectionListSidebar
data={[{ key: 'A', title: 'A', data: ['Aaron', 'Ali'] }]}
renderItem={({ item }) => <Text key={item.key}>{item}</Text>}
itemHeight={30}
/>
)
}
}
```
* **`key`**: section's sidebar item title, `string`
* **`title`**: section's title, `string`
* **`data`**: section's data, `[{}]` or `string`
### Custom section header component
```js
renderSectionHeader = ({ section }) => (
<View style={{ height: 30, backgroundColor: 'lightgray' }}>
<Image />
<Text>{section.title}</Text>
</View>
);
...
<SectionListSidebar
renderSectionHeader={this.renderSectionHeader}
sectionHeaderHeight={30}
...
/>
```
> Use `renderSectionHeader` only if you need to add components to the section headers. For simple headers use `sectionHeaderTextStyle`.
> `sectionHeaderHeight` must be equal to section header's height with top and bottom margins, paddings, and borders.
### Custom sidebar item component
```js
renderSidebarItem = ({ item, index }) => (
<TouchableOpacity
onPress={() => { this.sectionListSidebar.jumpToSection(index); }}
style={{ marginVertical: 4, backgroundColor: 'lightgray' }}>
<Text style={{ padding: 10, color: 'black', textAlign: 'center' }}>{item}</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
);
...
<SectionListSidebar
ref={ref => { this.sectionListSidebar = ref; }}
renderSidebarItem={this.renderSidebarItem}
...
/>
```
> Use `renderSidebarItem` only if you need to fire a function before/after humping to section and/or add components to sidebar items. You may try accomplishing what you want using `sidebarItemContainerStyle` and `sidebarItemTextStyle` props first, and if you failed, use `renderSidebarItem`.
