Summary:
Opening a new PR for #10946 (see discussion there).
This PR builds upon #14775 (iOS ViewManager inheritance) and #14261 (more extensible Android WebView).
**Motivation**
When `WebView.android.js` and `WebView.ios.js` use `requireNativeComponent`, they are hard-coded to require `RCTWebView`. This means if you want to re-use the same JS-logic, but require a custom native WebView-implementation, you have to duplicate the entire JS-code files.
The same is true if you want to pass through any custom events or props, which you want to set on the custom native `WebView`.
What I'm trying to solve with this PR is to able to extend native WebView logic, and being able to re-use and extend existing WebView JS-logic.
This is done by adding a new `nativeConfig` prop on WebView. I've also moved the extra `requireNativeComponent` config to `WebView.extraNativeComponentConfig` for easier re-use.
**Test plan**
jacobp100 has been kind enough to help me with docs for this new feature. So that is part of the PR and can be read for some information.
I've also created an example app which demonstrates how to use this functionality: https://github.com/cbrevik/webview-native-config-example
If you've implemented the native side as in the example repo above, it should be fairly easy to use from JavaScript like this:
```javascript
import React, { Component, PropTypes } from 'react';
import { WebView, requireNativeComponent, NativeModules } from 'react-native';
const { CustomWebViewManager } = NativeModules;
export default class CustomWebView extends Component {
static propTypes = {
...WebView.propTypes,
finalUrl: PropTypes.string,
onNavigationCompleted: PropTypes.func,
};
_onNavigationCompleted = (event) => {
const { onNavigationCompleted } = this.props;
onNavigationCompleted && onNavigationCompleted(event);
}
render() {
return (
<WebView
{...this.props}
nativeConfig={{
component: RCTCustomWebView,
props: {
finalUrl: this.props.finalUrl,
onNavigationCompleted: this._onNavigationCompleted,
},
viewManager: CustomWebViewManager
}}
/>
);
}
}
const RCTCustomWebView = requireNativeComponent(
'RCTCustomWebView',
CustomWebView,
WebView.extraNativeComponentConfig
);
```
As you see, you require the custom native implementation at the bottom, and send in that along with any custom props with the `nativeConfig` prop on the `WebView`. You also send in the `viewManager` since iOS requires that for `startLoadWithResult`.
**Discussion**
As noted in the original PR, this could in principle be done with more React Native components, to make it easier for the community to re-use and extend native components.
