Customising height for item on a section in SectionList

As part of learning react-native, I am experimenting various feature as in native iOS (TableView or CollectionView) or android app (RecycleView). I have implemented a sample screen with SectionList and FlatList and now I wanted to provide different height for item or section in a SectionList.

Referring various blogs, I have seen a package which is available in GitHub 'https://github.com/jsoendermann/rn-section-list-get-item-layout'. Could anyone please suggest me what is the standard way to achieve such features? It seems the package is last updated 2 years back, so I don't prefer it and looking for the standard solution. Thanks in advance.

This is same as that of in section list or if you want to use Flat list, inside that you provide a prop called renderItem and inside that you provide your custom comopnent. So as you do styling for any custom component, its the same. check below , inside function Item ive added styles.item as the styling and added a height of 80 there, you can play around. Check the link exmaple :

*import React from 'react';
import {
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View,
  SafeAreaView,
  SectionList,
} from 'react-native';
import Constants from 'expo-constants';

const DATA = [
  {
    title: 'Main dishes',
    data: ['Pizza', 'Burger', 'Risotto'],
  },
  {
    title: 'Sides',
    data: ['French Fries', 'Onion Rings', 'Fried Shrimps'],
  },
  {
    title: 'Drinks',
    data: ['Water', 'Coke', 'Beer'],
  },
  {
    title: 'Desserts',
    data: ['Cheese Cake', 'Ice Cream'],
  },
];

function Item({ title }) {
  return (
    <View style={styles.item}>
      <Text style={styles.title}>{title}</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
      <SectionList
        sections={DATA}
        keyExtractor={(item, index) => item + index}
        renderItem={({ item }) => <Item title={item} />}
        renderSectionHeader={({ section: { title } }) => (
          <Text style={styles.header}>{title}</Text>
        )}
      />
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    marginTop: Constants.statusBarHeight,
    marginHorizontal: 16,
  },
  item: {
    backgroundColor: '#f9c2ff',
    padding: 20,
    marginVertical: 8,
    height:80
  },
  header: {
    fontSize: 32,
    margin:50
  },
  title: {
    fontSize: 24,
  },
});*

hope it helps.
