Description

Hi all question for you :)

Is there a way in this lib to change the currentItem when enableSnap=false ?
Because if i scroll to my list near the tenth for exemple, and then i apply a filter (ie : rest 5 items) i can see only a blank view.. but when i scroll towards the fifth rest items, they appear... (tried triggerRenderingHack(tried different values x) but the behavior is weird like only works to the third consecutive call.. )
When i use enableSnap=true and call myCarouRef.snapToItem(0) after filtering, it works and it brings me at the beginnig so items appear directly but i have to say that snap behavior is not a good experience in my opinion mostly if the user wants to scroll quick.

Any idea ?

Research direction

Begin with the React Native carousel behavior around enableSnap=false, currentItem, snapToItem(0), and triggerRenderingHack after filtering. Reproduce the blank view when a list is shortened, then define done as the remaining items rendering immediately without requiring scrolling or enabling snap; no file or test is named in the issue.
