This example uses georstat/react-native-image-cache for image caching
import { CacheManager, CachedImage } from '@georstat/react-native-image-cache';

CacheManager.config = {
  baseDir: `${Dirs.CacheDir}/images_cache/`,

  thumbnailAnimationDuration: 1000,
};

const MyGallery = () => {
  const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);
  const openGallery = () => setIsOpen(true);
  const closeGallery = () => setIsOpen(false);

  const renderHeaderComponent = (image: any, currentIndex: number) => {
    return <Header currentIndex={currentIndex} />;
  };

  const renderFooterComponent = (image: any, currentIndex: number) => {
    return <Footer total={images.length} currentIndex={currentIndex} />;
  };

  const renderCustomImage = (image: Image) => {
    return (
      <View style={styles.customImageContainer}>
        <CachedImage
          resizeMode="cover"
          source={image.url}
