Feature request - Support pagination on both sides of the list.

[srameshr]

Is this a bug report, a feature request, or a question?

Feature request

Could you try to support pagination on either side of the list? More explanation here: facebook/react-native#20500

Have you followed the required steps before opening a bug report?

Have you made sure that it wasn't a React Native bug?

Specifically, it is a feature request for FlatList. I am not sure, if you would try to support this feature until RN adds this in FlatList.

Is the bug specific to iOS or Android? Or can it be reproduced on both platforms?

BOTH

Is the bug reproductible in a production environment (not a debug one)?

YES

Environment

Environment:
React: 16.4.1
React native: 0.55

Expected Behavior

Use case:

1. For records from 0 to 100, you load records from 45 to 55 to the UI on the first mount of the component and render 50th element to the user's view.
2. On scroll left or up obtain records from 44 to 35 and prepend to the list.
3. Vice versa for scroll right or down.

Feature missing for the same.

As mentioned in the Expected Behaviour

Hey @srameshr,

While I agree that this would be a top-notch feature, we're not willing to alter FlatList's core since it is already a big buggy mess...

Note that we are currently working on replacing FlatList with another component; see #250 if you want more info ;-)

I'm going to close the issue, but make sure to keep us posted if the component is updated by the Facebook team.
