Can a refresh be triggered with code?

I'd like my list view to refresh on initial render to update stale cache. Is that possible?

I tried

var nodeHandle = React.findNodeHandle(this.refs.list);
NativeRCTRefreshControl.beginRefreshing(nodeHandle);

but it didn't work. Can you help me out?

@syousif94 could you get it working? beginRefreshing is not exported in js, so you need first to change the source adding to RCTRefreshControl.ios.js:

  beginRefreshing: function(node) {
    var nodeHandle = React.findNodeHandle(node);
    RefreshControl.beginRefreshing(nodeHandle);
  }

this way you can make the RefreshControl appear behind the ScrollView. Now, the problem is how to make the ScrollView showing it without manual scrolling. I tried to scrollTo the ScrollView, but it didn't work.
