Example

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { View, TouchableOpacity, Text } from 'react-native'
import DraggableFlatList from 'react-native-draggable-dynamic-flatlist'

class Example extends Component {

  state = {
    data: [...Array(20)].map((d, index) => ({
      key: `item-${index}`,
      label: index,
      backgroundColor: `rgb(${Math.floor(Math.random() * 255)}, ${index * 5}, ${132})`,
    }))
  }

  renderItem = ({ item, index, move, moveEnd, isActive }) => {
    return (
      <TouchableOpacity
        style={{ 
          height: 100, 
          backgroundColor: isActive ? 'blue' : item.backgroundColor,
          alignItems: 'center', 
          justifyContent: 'center' 
        }}
        onLongPress={move}
        onPressOut={moveEnd}>
        <Text style={{ 
          fontWeight: 'bold', 
          color: 'white',
          fontSize: 32,
        }}>{item.label}</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    )
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
        <DraggableFlatList
          data={this.state.data}
          renderItem={this.renderItem}
          keyExtractor={(item, index) => `draggable-item-${item.key}`}
          scrollPercent={5}

Main differences with react-native-draggable-flatlist

react-native-draggable-flatlist is good but it doesn't work when item's sizes are changing. The positions (x and y) are not calculated properly. It's using measure functions which doesn't work perfectly on react-native, lot of unsolvable bugs (especially on android). Also, the measure function doesn't work when the item is hidden on a flatlist (out of the screen), so if you have big items, it doesn't work really well. The whole measuring system has been refactored by calculating all the positions manually. This library is using the onLayout property on each item and scrollview which makes it more stable with dynamic content. onLayout works perfectly on react-native and there is no more problem with dynamic content.
