How to re-render flatlist?

问题:

Unlike ListView we can update this.state.datasource. Is there any method or example to update FlatList or re-render it?

My goal is to update the text value when user press button ...

renderEntries({ item, index }) {
    return(
        <TouchableHighlight onPress={()=> this.setState({value: this.state.data[index].value+1})>
             <Text>{this.state.data[index].value}</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>
    )
}

<FlatList 
    ref={(ref) => { this.list = ref; }} 
    keyExtractor={(item) => item.entry.entryId} 
    data={this.state.data} 
    renderItem={this.renderEntries.bind(this)} 
    horizontal={false} />

Use the extraData property on your FlatList component.

As the documentation states:

By passing extraData={this.state} to FlatList we make sure FlatList itself will re-render when the state.selected changes. Without setting this prop, FlatList would not know it needs to re-render any items because it is also a PureComponent and the prop comparison will not show any changes.

Oh that's easy, just use extraData

You see the way extra data works behind the scenes is the FlatList or the VirtualisedList just checks wether that object has changed via a normal onComponentWillReceiveProps method.

So all you have to do is make sure you give something that changes to the extraData.

Here's what I do:

I'm using immutable.js so all I do is I pass a Map (immutable object) that contains whatever I want to watch.

<FlatList
    data={this.state.calendarMonths}
    extraData={Map({
        foo: this.props.foo,
        bar: this.props.bar
    })}
    renderItem={({ item })=>((
        <CustomComponentRow
            item={item}
            foo={this.props.foo}
            bar={this.props.bar}
        />
    ))}
/>

In that way, when this.props.foo or this.props.bar change, our CustomComponentRow will update, because the immutable object will be a different one than the previous.

Try:

1. set extra data to a boolean value.

   extraData={this.state.refresh}

2. Toggle the value of boolean state when you want to re-render/refresh list

   this.setState({ 
       refresh: !this.state.refresh
   })

If you are going to have a Button, you can update the data with a setState inside the onPress. SetState will then re-render your FlatList.

回答5:

OK.I just found out that if we want the FlatList to know the data change outside of the data prop,we need set it to extraData, so I do it like this now:

<FlatList data={...} extraData={this.state} .../>

回答6:

I have replaced FlatList with SectionList and it is updates properly on state change.

<SectionList
  keyExtractor={(item) => item.entry.entryId} 
  sections={section}
  renderItem={this.renderEntries.bind(this)}
  renderSectionHeader={() => null}
/>

The only thing need to keep in mind is that section have diff structure:

const section = [{
  id: 0,
  data: this.state.data,
}]

For me, the trick was extraData and drilling down into the item component one more time

state = {
  uniqueValue: 0
}

<FlatList
  keyExtractor={(item, index) => item + index}
  data={this.props.photos}
  renderItem={this.renderItem}
  ItemSeparatorComponent={this.renderSeparator}
/>

renderItem = (item) => {
  if(item.item.selected) {
    return ( <Button onPress={this.itemPressed.bind(this, item)}>Selected</Button> );
  }
  return ( <Button onPress={this.itemPressed.bind(this, item)}>Not selected</Button>);
}

itemPressed (item) {
  this.props.photos.map((img, i) => {
    if(i === item.index) {
      if(img['selected') {
        delete img.selected;
      } else {
        img['selected'] = true;
      }
      this.setState({ uniqueValue: this.state.uniqueValue +1 });
    }
  }
}

回答8:

Put variables that will be changed by your interaction at extraData

You can be creative.

For example if you are dealing with a changing list with checkboxes on them.

<FlatList
      data={this.state.data.items}
      extraData={this.state.data.items.length * (this.state.data.done.length + 1) }
      renderItem={({item}) => <View>  

回答9:

I solved this problem by adding extraData={this.state} Please check code below for more detail

render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <FlatList
          data={this.state.arr}
          extraData={this.state}
          renderItem={({ item }) => <Text style={styles.item}>{item}</Text>}
        />
      </View>
    );
  }

If we want the FlatList to know the data change both prop and state,we can construct an object referencing both prop and state and refresh the flatlist.

const hasPropOrStateChange = { propKeyToWatch: this.props, ...this.state};
<FlatList data={...} extraData={this.hasPropOrStateChange} .../>
