I am trying to render a list of items in React Native with the FlatList component but every time I fetch new data it re-renders the who list of items even with React.memo.
Here is what my code looks like:
const data = [
{ _id: 1, text: 'Hello World' },
{ _id: 2, text: 'Hello' },
{ ... }
]
const renderItem = ({ item }) => (<Component item={item} />)
const loadMore = () => {
//Fetching data from db and adding to data array
}
<FlatList
data={data}
keyExtractor={item => item._id}
renderItem={renderItem}
onEndReached={loadMore}
removeClippedSubviews={true}
/>
Component.js
const Component = ({ item }) => {
console.log('I am rendering')
return (
<Text>{item.text}</Text>
)
}
const equal = (prev, next) => {
return prev.item.text === next.item.text
}
export default React.memo(Component, equal)
Every time the onEndReached
function gets triggered and calls the loadMore function, all FlatList items get re-rendered, it console.log 'I am rendering' every single time and causes the error virtualizedlist you have a large list that is slow to update
Thanks to anyone who can help me!
I don't know why but I fixed it with an if statement in the equal
function
//Changing this
const equal = (prev, next) => {
return prev.item.text === next.item.text
}
//To this
const equal = (prev, next) => {
if(prev.item.text !== next.item.text) {
return false;
}
return true
}
Hope this could help someone else.
