Unable to use with SectionList

[sergey-king]

When used with react-native SectionList and called with ref to enable scrolling like: props.start(false, refSectionList.current); - getting a TypeError as below;

TypeError: scrollView.scrollTo is not a function. (In 'scrollView.scrollTo({ y: yOffsett, animated: false })', 'scrollView.scrollTo' is undefined) at node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Core/ExceptionsManager.js:104:6 in reportException at node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Core/ExceptionsManager.js:171:19 in handleException at node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Core/setUpErrorHandling.js:24:6 in handleError at node_modules/expo-error-recovery/build/ErrorRecovery.fx.js:12:21 in ErrorUtils.setGlobalHandler$argument_0

React-Native SectionList Inherits ScrollView Props since it's a wrapper around <VirtualizedList>, and thus inherits its props (as well as those of <ScrollView>), so I believe this should work? @mohebifar

Looks like '.scrollTo()' method is not available on SectionList. Is there a way to add SectionList scrollToLocation() method support. Thanks!

@sergey-king for what it's worth, you can use the getScrollResponder() method on a sectionlist ref as the scrollview ref for the tour. It's not ideal, but it works and exposes the methods you need.

const Thing = ({ start }: CopilotWrappedComponentProps) => {
  const scrollRef = useRef<ScrollView | undefined>().current;

  useEffect(() => {
    if (start && scrollRef) {
      start(false, scrollRef);
    }
  }, [])

  return <SectionList
    ref={(ref) => {
      scrollRef = ref?.getScrollResponder();
    }}
    // ...
  />
}

Good solution! Ended up switching the library
