react-native-fresh-flatlist

Do you need to update FlatList data frequently? Are people constantly complaining that they don't see the most up-to-date information? Try using this component by simply entering data. Refreshing is the responsibility of this component, Get away from data refreshing logic and focus on other things.

Features

• Flatlist based on infinite scroll page.
• Take a page and combine them existen pages.
• When you move to another screen and then come back, only the page you are currently viewing is retrieved and the page in the list is updated.
  • If the page you are currently viewing is between the current page and the next page, both pages will be refreshed.
• Reset by external request.
• refresh only the page currently being viewed or a specific page.
• Props that can utilize caching data
