How i can limit the items in the FlatList and add load more?

Question

My skills is basic, and i'm newbie in React native, what i want to do is limit the posts in 12 and when the user scroll automatically load more posts.

My Code:

export default class Posts extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
  isLoading: true,};}

componentDidMount() {
   return fetch(ConfigApp.URL+'json/data_posts.php')
     .then((response) => response.json())
     .then((responseJson) => {
       this.setState({
         isLoading: false,
         dataPosts: responseJson
       }, function() {
       });
     })
     .catch((error) => {
     });}

render() {
return (
    <FlatList
      data={ this.state.dataPosts }
      numColumns={2}
      renderItem={({item}) => 
            <TouchableOpacity activeOpacity={1} style={{flex: 1}}>
            <View style={{margin: 5, marginLeft: 4}}>
            <ImageBackground source={{uri: ConfigApp.IMAGESFOLDER+item.post_image}}>
                <LinearGradient colors={['rgba(0,0,0,0.3)', 'rgba(0,0,0,0.8)']}>
                        <Text numberOfLines={2}>{item.post_title}</Text>
                </LinearGradient>
            </ImageBackground>
            </View>
            </TouchableOpacity>
}
    keyExtractor={(item, index) => index}

    />
);}}

You Can add the slice(start,end) method while fetching jsondata in datasource. This trick may solve your problem.

dataPosts: responseJson.slice(0,10) replace this line with yours.
