react-native-swiper next/previous button event

Question

The swiper index value comes out in order of page order. However, when the button is pressed, the index value goes up to infinity.

ex) next button click-> 6/5, 7/5, 8/5

What I would like to do is stop the button event on 5/5 but I do not know what to do.

App.js

const renderPagination = (index, total, context) => {

  return (
    <View style={styles.paginationStyle}>
      <Text style={{ color: 'grey' }}>
        <Text style={styles.paginationText}>{index + 1}</Text>/{total}
      </Text>
    </View>
  )
}

export default class App extends Component {

  constructor(props){
    super(props);
    this.onPressNext = this.onPressNext.bind(this);
    this.state = {
      idxActive: 1
    }
 }

  onPressPrev = () => {
    this.refs.swiper.scrollBy(-1)
  }

  onPressNext = () => {
    this.refs.swiper.scrollBy(1);
  }

  render() {
    return (

      <View style={styles.container}>


        <Swiper
          style={styles.wrapper}
          renderPagination={renderPagination}
          showsButtons={false}
          loop={false}

here's what helped me, use onIndexChanged prop in swiper, it keeps track of your swiper elements length, the following code snippet is for a functional component.

const [keyNumber, setKeyNumber] = useState(0);
const swiperRef = useRef(null);

const isPrevDisabled = keyNumber < 1;

const isNextDisabled = keyNumber > calloutScreens.length - 2;

const renderPrevButton = () => {
 return (
   <TouchableOpacity
     style={styles.buttonWrapper}
     disabled={isPrevDisabled}
     onPress={() => swiperRef.current?.scrollBy(-1)}>
     <Text
       style={isPrevDisabled ? styles.disabledButton : 
        styles.activeButton}>
      {PREVIOUS}
     </Text>
   </TouchableOpacity>
 );
};

const renderNextButton = () => {
  return (
   <TouchableOpacity
     style={styles.buttonWrapper}
     disabled={isNextDisabled}
     onPress={() => swiperRef.current?.scrollBy(1)}>
     <Text
       style={isNextDisabled ? styles.disabledButton : 
        styles.activeButton}>
       {NEXT}
     </Text>
   </TouchableOpacity>
  );
};

const handleIndexChange = (index: number) => {
 setKeyNumber(index);
};

 return (
  <View style={styles.container}>
    {calloutScreens.length > 0 && (
      <>
        <Swiper
          autoplay={true}
          ref={swiperRef}
          autoplayTimeout={5}
          loop={false}
          activeDotStyle={styles.activeDotStyle}
          dotStyle={styles.inactiveDotStyle}
          showsPagination={true}
          onIndexChanged={handleIndexChange}>
          {renderSwiperContent()}
        </Swiper>
        <View style={styles.footerContainer}>
          {renderPrevButton()}
          <HKButton
            title={BUTTON_TITLE}
            onPress={handleOnboardingCompletion}
          />
          {renderNextButton()}
        </View>
      </>
    )}

Use the onIndexedChanged prop of the swiper to get the latest index and save it in your local component state. Something like:

export default class App extends Component {

  constructor(props){
    super(props);
    this.onPressNext = this.onPressNext.bind(this);
    this.onPressPrev = this.onPressPrev.bind(this);
    this.state = {
      idxActive: 0
    }
 }

  onPressPrev = () => {
    const {idxActive} = this.state;
    if (idxActive > 0) {
      this.refs.swiper.scrollBy(-1)
    }
  }

  onPressNext = () => {
    const {idxActive} = this.state;
    // Probably best set as a constant somewhere vs a hardcoded 5
    if (idxActive < 5) {
      this.refs.swiper.scrollBy(1);
    }
  }

  render() {
    return (

      <View style={styles.container}>


        <Swiper
          ... etc.
          onIndexChanged={idxActive => this.setState({idxActive})}
        >
          ... etc.
