How to get currently visible index in RN flat list

UPD. thanks to @ch271828n for pointing that onViewableItemsChanged shouldn`t be updated

You can use FlatList onViewableItemsChanged prop to get what you want.

class Test extends React.Component {
  onViewableItemsChanged = ({ viewableItems, changed }) => {
    console.log("Visible items are", viewableItems);
    console.log("Changed in this iteration", changed);
  }

  render () => {
    return (
      <FlatList
        onViewableItemsChanged={this.onViewableItemsChanged }
        viewabilityConfig={{
          itemVisiblePercentThreshold: 50
        }}
      />
    )
  }
}

viewabilityConfig can help you to make whatever you want with viewability settings. In code example 50 means that item is considered visible if it is visible for more than 50 percents.
