How to change minVelocityX on the fly without crossing the bridge?

[yekta]

I have a drawer view, in one of the screens there is a Pager View like horizontally paged component I made using PanGestureHandler. I did this because I want to be able to open the drawer if I'm on the first page and I started swiping to the right (the swipe edge for my drawer is full width of the device). But if I'm not at the first page of my Pager View like component, drawer shouldn't open.

So in summary I need my PanGestureHandler to do this: If an animated value translationX is at 0, then the minVelocityX of the PanGestureHandler should be -1. If translationX is smaller than 0, then minVelocityX of the PanGestureHandler should be undefined.

Here is how the setup looks like.

This seems like a pretty common setup to me, but I couldn't find anything other than runOnJS and setting state on the fly to change the minVelocityX achieve it, which feels wrong. I don't understand the reason for this to not be able to happen on the UI thread (maybe a SharedValue for minVelocityX, idk).
