Can't use react-native-snap-carousel - reactjs

Question

I would like use react-native-snap-carousel but when I try to init in I have an error :(
the exemple :
import Carousel from 'react-native-snap-carousel';
export class MyCarousel extends Component {
_renderItem ({item, index}) {
return (
<View style={styles.slide}>
<Text style={styles.title}>{ item.title }</Text>
</View>
);
}
render () {
return (
<Carousel
ref={(c) => { this._carousel = c; }}
data={this.state.entries}
renderItem={this._renderItem}
sliderWidth={sliderWidth}
itemWidth={itemWidth}
/>
);
}}
My code :
import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import Carousel from 'react-native-snap-carousel';
export default class App extends React.Component {
_renderItem ({item, index}) {
return (
<View style={styles.slide}>
<Text style={styles.title}>{ item.title }</Text>
</View>
);}
render () {
return (
<Carousel
ref={(c) => { this._carousel = c; }}
data={this.state.entries}
renderItem={this._renderItem}
sliderWidth={150}
itemWidth={100}
/>
);
}}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
backgroundColor: '#fff',
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
}});

As the screenshot says, this.state.entries is null.
You must initialize it :
export default class App extends React.Component {
constructor() {
super()
this.state = {
entries: [],
}
}
_renderItem ({item, index}) {
return (
<View style={styles.slide}>
<Text style={styles.title}>{ item.title }</Text>
</View>
);}
render () {
return (
<Carousel
ref={(c) => { this._carousel = c; }}
data={this.state.entries}
renderItem={this._renderItem}
sliderWidth={150}
itemWidth={100}
/>
);
}}
In this example, entries: [] wont display anything since there's no object in it. You can initialize it with wanted data:
entries: [
{ title: 'hello' },
{ title: 'world' },
]
Btw, this issue has nothing to do with the plugin itself, even if they could catch it.
