React Native Gesture Handler
Declarative API exposing platform native touch and gesture system to React Native.
React Native Gesture Handler provides native-driven gesture management APIs for building best possible touch-based experiences in React Native.
With this library gestures are no longer controlled by the JS responder system, but instead are recognized and tracked in the UI thread.
It makes touch interactions and gesture tracking not only smooth, but also dependable and deterministic.

## Examples
If you want to play with the API but don't feel like trying it on a real app, you can run the example project. Clone the repo, go to the `Example/` folder and run:
```bash
yarn install
```
If you are running on ios, run `pod install` in the ios folder
Run `yarn start` to start the metro bundler
Run `react-native run-android` or `react-native run-ios` (depending on which platform you want to run the example app on).
You will need to have an Android or iOS device or emulator connected as well as `react-native-cli` package installed globally.
