Summary:
Currently, the system for mapping JS event handlers to blocks is quite clean on the JS side, but is clunky on the native side. The event property is passed as a boolean, which can then be checked by the native side, and if true, the native side is supposed to send an event via the event dispatcher.
This diff adds the facility to declare the property as a block instead. This means that the event side can simply call the block, and it will automatically send the event. Because the blocks for bubbling and direct events are named differently, we can also use this to generate the event registration data and get rid of the arrays of event names.
The name of the event is inferred from the property name, which means that the property for an event called "load" must be called `onLoad` or the mapping won't work. This can be optionally remapped to a different property name on the view itself if necessary, e.g.
RCT_REMAP_VIEW_PROPERTY(onLoad, loadEventBlock, RCTDirectEventBlock)
If you don't want to use this mechanism then for now it is still possible to declare the property as a BOOL instead and use the old mechanism (this approach is now deprecated however, and may eventually be removed altogether).
Summary:
Our events all follow a common pattern, so there's no good reason why the configuration should be so verbose. This diff eliminates that redundancy, and gives us the freedom to simplify the underlying mechanism in future without further churning the call sites.
Summary:
The bridge implementation on React Android does not currently support boxed numeric/boolean types (the equivalent of NSNumber arguments on iOS), nor does Java support Objective-C's nil messaging system that transparently casts nil to zero, false, etc for primitive types.
To avoid platform incompatibilities, we now treat all primitive arguments as non-nullable rather than silently converting NSNull -> nil -> 0/false.
We also now enforce that NSNumber * objects must be explicitly marked as `nonnull` (this restriction may be lifted in future if/when Android supports boxed numbers).
Other object types are still assumed to be nullable unless specifically annotated with `nonnull`.
Summary:
@public
I've increased the warning levels in the OSS frameworks, which caught a bunch of minor issues. I also fixed some new errors in Xcode 7 relating to designated initializers and TLS security.
Test Plan:
* Test the sample apps and make sure they still work.
* Run tests.
