currentIndex how to work with it ?

[shrinandhini2801]

I need to get which item is showing or brought to front now . Is it possible through current index? There is no sample provided. Can you help on it ?

@shrinandhini2801 You need to keep a reference to your carousel's instance like this :

<Carousel
  ref={(carousel) => { this._carousel = carousel; }}
  // other props
/>

Then, whenever needed, you can call the following:

if (this._carousel) {
    alert(this._carousel.currentIndex);
}

If you need to update your state every time a change of slide occurs, make sure to use the onSnapToItem prop instead.
