What are some effective pagination techniques in React Native?

There are several techniques for implementing pagination in React Native, such as using FlatList with pagination, infinite scrolling, and cursor-based pagination. Would you like to know more about any specific technique?

Can you explain how to implement infinite scrolling?

Sure! To implement infinite scrolling, you can use the FlatList component's onEndReached prop. This triggers a function to load more data when the user scrolls to the end of the list. You can also manage loading states to show a spinner while fetching new data.

What about cursor-based pagination?

Cursor-based pagination involves using a unique identifier (cursor) to fetch the next set of data. This is often more efficient than offset-based pagination, especially with large datasets. You can pass the cursor in your API request to get the next page of results.

Are there any libraries that can help with pagination?

Yes, libraries like React Query and Apollo Client provide built-in support for pagination, making it easier to manage data fetching and caching.
