Description

I need to scroll to the end of FlatList after adding of new list item (like a chat).
So I change state with new message and then use:
this.setState({messages});
this.messagesList.scrollToEnd({animated: true});
It woks only if I add some 'magic' setTimeout (200ms).
It there any way to detect that new message is added and i can call scrollToEnd?
