How to access MapboxGL methods inside react native functional component?

Question

I am working on a react native project and I am using MapboxGL. The problem is I can't access any of the methods of MapboxGL.

const Home = () => {

  .... some code  ...

<MapboxGL.MapView
          ref={c => (this._map = c)}
          style={styles.map}
          onRegionIsChanging={onRegionIsChanging}
          onRegionDidChange={onRegionDidChange}
          surfaceView>
          {/* Display user location */}
          {/* Checks if the user has granted location permission to the app. */}
          {locationPermissionGranted && (
            <>
              <MapboxGL.UserLocation visible onUpdate={userLocationUpdate} />
            </>
          )}
          <MapboxGL.Camera
            followZoomLevel={15}
            zoomLevel={15}
            followUserLocation={followUserLocation}
            centerCoordinate={centerCoordinate}
          />
        </MapboxGL.MapView>
}

This is my code and since I am using functional component I am not able to use this keyword. I have also tried changing to class component but still the methods of MapboxGL return undefind or something like "moveTo is not function" (when I am trying to access moveTo method,for instance.)
