      ...
    ]

Column Format

Single Column Right

render(){
    return(
        <Timeline
          //..other props
          columnFormat='single-column-right'
        />

        <Timeline
          //..other props
          columnFormat='two-column'
        />
    )
}

see full two column example

Time container hiding

render(){
    return(
        <Timeline
          //..other props
          showTime={false}
        />
    )
}

Configuration

Data Object:

Timeline:

Shift problem

Text width of event time may not be the same.

fix by add 'minWidth' in 'timeContainerStyle' to appropriate value

render(){
    return(
        <Timeline
          //..other props
          timeContainerStyle={{minWidth:72}}
        />
    )
}

Timeline is rendered, but not displayed until scroll

fix by add removeClippedSubviews: false into options

render(){
    return(
        <Timeline
          //..other props
          options={{
            removeClippedSubviews: false
          }}
        />
    )
}
