The decision inside it

Never swipe-only

A More button on every row opens the same actions, and they are real buttons in the tab order only while showing.

When to use it

Use SwipeRow in a list people manage on a phone (an inbox, notifications, a queue) for quick actions like archive and delete. Every row also gets a More button, so it works without swiping.

Installation

How you get it

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any coding agent. It installs the file and uses it as it is, instead of writing a new one.

Use Liro's Swipe to Delete for this.
Install it: npx shadcn@latest add @liro/swipe-to-delete
(the @liro registry is set up in components.json, with LIRO_KEY in .env.local)
Import it from @/components/ui/swipe-to-delete.
Do not rewrite or restyle it. Pass my data through its props
and keep its built-in states.

For the full brief with every prop and the mistakes assistants usually make, use Copy prompt above. Pro components install through the @liro registry with your CLI token: see the Namespaced tab.

Usage

components/inbox-row.tsx
import { Archive, Trash2 } from "lucide-react";
import { SwipeRow } from "@/components/ui/swipe-to-delete";

export function InboxRow({ title, archive, remove }: { title: string; archive: () => void; remove: () => void }) {
  return (
    <SwipeRow
      fullSwipeAction={1}
      actions={[
        { label: "Archive", icon: <Archive />, onAction: archive },
        { label: "Delete", icon: <Trash2 />, tone: "destructive", onAction: remove },
      ]}
    >
      <div className="px-4 py-3">{title}</div>
    </SwipeRow>
  );
}

Props

Read from the component’s own TypeScript interface when the site is built, so this table cannot drift from the file you install.

States

All of them are drawn by the component. None is left for you to design.

  • Rest
  • Open
  • Armed for full swipe
  • Left side
  • Keyboard

Accessibility

  • Keyboard reachable throughout, in visual order
  • Focus trapped in overlays, Escape closes them
  • Focus returns to whatever opened it
  • Live regions announce what changed, not that something did
  • Honours prefers-reduced-motion

Responsive behavior

  • Sizes to its container, not the viewport
  • Usable from 320px up
  • Pointer-based interaction, so trackpad and touch both work
  • No hover-only affordances
