How to re-render flatlist?

Question

Unlike ListView we can update this.state.datasource. Is there any method or example to update FlatList or re-render it?

My goal is to update the text value when user press button ...

renderEntries({ item, index }) {
    return(
        <TouchableHighlight onPress={()=> this.setState({value: this.state.data[index].value+1})>
             <Text>{this.state.data[index].value}</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>
    )
}

<FlatList 
    ref={(ref) => { this.list = ref; }} 
    keyExtractor={(item) => item.entry.entryId} 
    data={this.state.data} 
    renderItem={this.renderEntries.bind(this)} 
    horizontal={false} />

Use the extraData property on your FlatList component.

As the documentation states:

By passing extraData={this.state} to FlatList we make sure FlatList will re-render itself when the state.selected changes. Without setting this prop, FlatList would not know it needs to re-render any items because it is also a PureComponent and the prop comparison will not show any changes.
