Description

The FlatList or SectionList ListEmptyComponent is rendered upside down, when using inverted flag

It was introduced by db061ea . I have reverted this change in our project, which works. cc @janicduplessis

To Reproduce

Create a FlatList with empty data, inverted={true}, and a ListEmptyComponent. Like below:

      <FlatList
        data={data}
        ListEmptyComponent={this.renderEmpty}
        style={styles.list}
        inverted
      />

Reproducible Demo

Example can be found here in InvertedListBug.js. or run the project and observe.

@kelset @hramos Did this fix land in RN 0.57.5? Or are we going to need to wait for a future release? NPM shows 0.57.5 being released two days before #21117 was marked by the Facebook bot as being merged, so it seems likely not..

[hramos]

@scottmas it did not. You can easily tell if a fix is in a release by looking at the tags in the commit. b971c5b is only tagged with v0.58.0-rc.1 and v0.58.0-rc.0, so it's not in any of the 0.57 releases.

If you have any other questions about the release process, you can take a look at https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-releases where the status for each release is discussed in a dedicated GitHub issue.

[kelset]

@scottmas the fix landed in 0.57.8, you can find it in the changelog -> https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-releases/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#fixed

(the reason why that tag doesn't appear as Hector explained is a mistery to me)

[alexisbronchart]

I'm running 0.57.8 and the issue is still happening.
More importantly the list is not actually inverted as the refreshControl is shown at the top.

[kelset]

@alexisbronchart can you provide a repro?

[alexisbronchart]

@kelset https://github.com/alexisbronchart/invertedListTest

I committed everything in there. When I do a run-ios this is the result I get:

[TylerNRobertson]

Why not just rotate your view 180deg? A simple:

styles = Stylesheet.create({
rotateView: {
transform: [{ rotate: '180deg' }]
}
})

would fix that problem at-least until it's changed in a react native release. I don't foresee any major react native updates before version 0.58 which isn't planned to release until the new year. Although keep an eye out on the version 0.57.x updates.

** Keep in mind this would not fix the issue with the ActivityIndicator appearing at the top instead of bottom when inverted flag is on, it would simple rotate only your empty list component**

[kelset]

Reopening.

I wonder what is missing for it to work properly 🤔

Anyway yes, there won't be any release 'til next year, you can keep up on the react-native-releases repo.

[alexisbronchart]

Alright thanks! FYI for me it looks like 0.57.8 actually introduced the bug. If I revert to 0.57.7 everything is fine.

[eMerzh]

and to add my 2c here : i've tested with @alexisbronchart 's repo and just undoing 30c2fb8 in node_modules and it work as expected

[alexisbronchart]

Looks like this has been reintroduced in 0.59.0 (also in 0.59.1).

updated repro : https://github.com/alexisbronchart/invertedListTest

[kelset]

Hey @alexisbronchart thanks for letting me know - could it be that the revert didn't happen on the 0.59 branch? Or it's something else causing it? 🤔

[kelset]

ok looks like thanks to @michalchudziak we got a new fix for that :)

[mjmasn]

Workaround if anyone is interested, just apply this style to your list empty component:

transform: [{scaleY: -1}]

[partriv]

seems to be happening to me in RN 0.59.9

[kelset]

Has anyone tried with 61 yet?

[mjmasn]

@kelset in the sense that my scaleY: -1 workaround is still working in 61, I assume this is still an issue in 61.

I can make a new repro repo if necessary though :)

[kelset]

I see - yeah if you have time for a new repro it will be great. I'll reopen this in the meantime

[zbettenbuk]

If you apply a CSS workaround and the bug gets fixed you may end up with the same issue if you forget to remove the workaround. Maybe it's just better to set inversed = { false } on the component when the data is empty and you'll be safe.

[zbettenbuk]

Btw it's still (or again?) happening in 61.3

[mast]

Still an issue with 63.3

[raajnadar]

Still an issue with 0.64

[jedsada-jed]

Use view for wrap component work for me. (RN 0.64.0)

[shivjon]

write condition in inverted

data.length !=0 ? true : false

<FlatList
inverted={data.length !=0 ? true :false }
data={data}
keyExtractor={(_, index) => String(index)}
ListEmptyComponent={this.renderEmpty}
style={styles.list}
/>
