Description

Which OS ?

Mac

Version

Which versions are you using:

  • react-native-swiper latest
  • react-native v0.57
Expected behaviour

I expect a package with 7k stars to work, at least when I install (discovering bugs later still sucks though).

Actual behaviour

I installed Swiper, run this code:

<Swiper style={styles.wrapper} showsButtons={true}>
              <View>
                <Text style={styles.text}>Hello Swiper</Text>
              </View>
</Swiper>

and when I run it Swiper keeps adding views to my component for ever. It's an ever ending loop.

I am quite surprised that a simple package that just makes views swipable and has 7k stars, 447 issues and 66 PRs work like this on a fresh install.

I don't remember taking LSD today, however this feels far from real. Are you guys serious? My Mac has crashed to oblivion. Get your package working in the first place or don't make it at all. This not 1st year college, jesus.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the minimal Swiper example on Mac with react-native-swiper latest and React Native 0.57. Inspect the Swiper rendering and update path to determine why a single child causes views to be added indefinitely. Done means the example renders without unbounded view creation or a crash.
