Have you made sure that it wasn’t a React Native bug?

Nope

Environment

Environment: React: 16.8.6 React native: 0.59.8 react-native-snap-carousel: 3.8.0

Target Platform: Android (6.0) iOS (100)

Actual Behavior

My carousel is not infinite. I would like the first item to be snapped on the left and the last item snap to the right. In between the active slide should be centered. Is it possible to achieve this behavior please ?

@aldimirprincipal The timing is spot on!

I think you’re going to really like this, and particularly the useExperimentalSnap feature 😉

Hi @pixelize,

Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment. I’ve previously tried implementing it by leveraging ScrollView’s snapToAlignment prop but this one was so buggy that I had to give up.

You’ll find a lot of insights about this in #102. Some users have been ok with the workaround described at the end of the thread — but note that it will probably mess with the callbacks.

There’s hope however! I’ve been thinking about a new implementation for a few months, but still haven’t had time to really work on it…
