Pass dynamic value to react native Modal View from flatList Item

Question

I have a FlatList like... <FlatList data={data} keyExtractor={(item, index) => index.toString()}renderItem={({item,index}) =>(<NewView id={item.id} index={index}/>) }/> Now for render Item const NewView = ({id, index}) =>{return(<TouchablOpacity onPress={()=> openModal()}> <Text>{id}</Text></TouchableOpacity><Modal animationType='fade' transparent={true}visible={userOptionShowModal}onRequestClose={() =>setUserOptionShowModal(false)}}><Text>{?? ==>id}</Text></Modal>); } const NewView = ({id, index}) =>{return(<TouchablOpacity onPress={()=> openModal()}> <Text>{id}</Text></TouchableOpacity><Modal animationType='fade' transparent={true}visible={userOptionShowModal}onRequestClose={() =>setUserOptionShowModal(false)}}><Text>{?? ==>id}</Text></Modal>); } Now when i want to show modal on Pressing each flatlist item, its working but when Pressing one flatlist item showing the modal but in the modal item i cannot show the index or id or any dynamic value passed (how?) of that particular flatListItem... Please help how to achieve it?

Answer 1

You can achieve this behavior in many ways. One of the easiest way is to create a state that holds this information, then on modal close, you reset its value.

First, add this useState:

const [passedData, setPassedData] = useState({});

Then when you call the onPress, add all the info you need:

<TouchablOpacity onPress={()=> openModal({id, index})}>...</TouchablOpacity>

PS: openModal({id, index}) is same as openModal({id: id, index: index})

Then in your openModal function, add this:

const openModal = ({id, index}) => {
...
setPassedData({id, index})
}

Then you can access it in your modal (Don't forget to reset the passed data onCloseRequest or anytime you close the modal):

<Modal
  animationType="fade"
  transparent={true}
  visible={userOptionShowModal}
  onRequestClose={() =>{
  setUserOptionShowModal(false)
  setPassedData({})
 }}>
  <Text>id : {passedData.id}, index: {passedData.index}</Text>
</Modal>
