This is an early release and there are several things that are known
not to work if you're porting your iOS app to Android.
See the Known Issues guide on the website.
We will work with the community to reach platform parity with iOS.
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:
There are still many other props that can be added to further customize the SliderIOS component, but I had a specific need for these two so I just went ahead and added them.
