ball indicator not updating

[karanjhinga]

The problem lies with the component should update

shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps, nextState) {
  if (nextProps.value && nextProps.value !== nextState.value) {
    this._changeState(nextProps.value);
  }
  return false;
}

By making this u are preventing the component from rerendering

@karanjhinga did you find a solution for this? Or did you edit this.
@sacmii This is preventing this package to work.

Change return to true and the ball indicator will update. But you should check carefully about the performance of your app.

I changed shouldComponentUpdate to the following, which will let the ball indicator update while also preserving performance:

   shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps: props, nextState: state) {
        let shouldUpdate = nextProps.value !== this.props.value || nextProps.value !== this.state.value;
        if (shouldUpdate) {
            this._changeState(nextProps.value);
        }
        return shouldUpdate;
    }

Is the above solution of Jun 7, 2022 by BaderSerhan the preferred solution? If so, please could the repository be updated accordingly?

There is the following fork of this repo that has the ball number updating:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/rn-vertical-slider-matyno?activeTab=explore
I'm using that fork for now.
