Summary:
It's very important in complex UIs to be able to apply alpha channel-based masks to arbitrary content. Common use cases include adding gradient masks at the top or bottom of scroll views, creating masked text effects, feathering images, and generally just masking views while still allowing transparency of those views.
The original motivation for creating this component stemmed from work on `react-navigation`. As I tried to mimic behavior in the native iOS header, I needed to be able to achieve the effect pictured here (this is a screenshot from a native iOS application):
In this image, there are two masks:
- A mask on the back button chevron
- A gradient mask on the right button
In addition, the underlying view in the navigation bar is intended to be a UIBlurView. Thus, alpha masking is the only way to achieve this effect.
Behind the scenes, the `maskView` property on `UIView` is used. This is a shortcut to setting the mask on the CALayer directly.
This gives us the ability to mask any view with any other view. While building this component (and testing in the context of an Expo app), I was able to use a `GLView` (a view that renders an OpenGL context) to mask a `Video` component!
I chose to implement this only on iOS right now, as the Android implementation is a) significantly more complicated and b) will most likely not be as performant (especially when trying to mask more complex views).
Review the `<MaskedViewIOS>` section in the RNTester app, observe that views are masked appropriately.
