Best Approach for Switching Between Two Lists in FlashList: One or Two...

reno_rita

I am using FlashList on my project, and I have two different lists that share the same header. When I click a button on the ListHeaderComponent , the displayed list switches. Each list contains different items, which vary in size and content. Which would be the best practice here? Is it better to use a single FlashList and update data and renderItem , or should I use two separate FlashLists?

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

idk and i'd love a more senior answer to this, but currently i'm keeping both lists mounted and just style/hiding them. I was also thinking on stacking two flashlist, have a 'father' one and the inner ones would not have scrollEnabled.
