Summary:
We currently wait until after views have been updated on the main thread before sending layout events. This means that any code that relies on those events to update the UI will lag the atual layout by at least one frame.
This changes the RCTUIManager to send the event immediately after layout has occured on the shadow thread. This noticably improves the respinsiveness of the layout example in UIExplorer, which now updates the dimension labels immediately instead of waiting until after the layout animation has completed.
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:
Supports `onLayout` for Touchable*` by piping onLayout
through to the native component inside since only native components support
it by default.
Summary:
TabBarItemIOS supports setting the scale for base64-encoded images using an optional scale parameter, however this was broken due to the JS code only passing the uri, not the whole source object, to the native side.
(See: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/2413)
Summary:
We want to be able to access the touch data within our components' event handlers, so we need to thread the event object all the way through to them.
Summary:
Added the ability to turn on and off the network activity indicator using:
```
StatusBarIOS.setNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible(true)
```
and
```
StatusBarIOS.setNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible(false)
```
Also added an example to the UIExplorer example app.

Summary:
Some of the examples relied on the fact that TextInput wasn't a controlled
component before. This introduces a new `initialValue` prop which behaves the
way the `value` prop used to - that is, you could type without updating it and
it wouldn't get reset, thus acting as just an initial value - and switches the
examples to use it where appropriate.
Summary:
This introduces event counts to make sure JS doesn't set out of date values on
native text inputs, which can cause dropped characters and can mess with
autocomplete, and obviates the need for the input buffering which added lag and
complexity to the component. Made sure to test simulated super-slow JS text
event processing to make sure characters aren't dropped, as well as typing
obviously correctable words and making sure autocomplete works as expected.
TextInput is now a controlled input by default without causing any issues for
most cases, so I removed the `controlled` prop.
Fixes selection state jumping by restoring it after setting new text values, so
highlighting the middle of some text in the new ReWrite example and hitting
space will replace that selection with an underscore and keep the cursor at a
sensible position as expected, instead of jumping to the end.
Ads `maxLength` prop to support the most commonly needed syncronous behavior:
preventing the user from typing too many characters. It can also be used to
prevent users from continuing to type after entering special characters by
changing it to the current length after a regex match. Made sure to verify it
works well with pasted input (including in the middle of existing text),
truncating it and collapsing the selection the same way it does on the web.
Fixes bug in TextEventsExample where it wouldn't show the submit and end events,
even though there were firing correctly.
Summary:
Because we don't want to integrate Animated inside of the core of React, we can only pass Animated.Value to styles of <Animated.View>. TouchableOpacity unfortunately used cloneElement. This means that we should have asked every single call site to replace their children to Animated.View. This isn't great.
The other solution is to stop using cloneElement and instead wrap the children inside of an <Animated.View>. This has many advantages:
- We no longer use cloneElement so we're no longer messing up with elements that are not our own.
- Refs are now working correctly for children elements
- No longer need to enforce that there's only one child and that this child is a native element
The downside is that we're introducing a <View> into the hierarchy. Sadly with CSS there is no way to have a View that doesn't affect layout. What we need to do is to remove the inner <View> and transfer all the styles to the TouchableOpacity. It is annoying but fortunately a pretty mechanical process.
I think that having a wrapper is the best solution. I will investigate to see if we can make wrappers on TouchableHighliht and TouchableWithoutFeedback as well.
**Upgrade Path:**
If the child is a View, move the style of the View to TouchableOpacity and remove the View itself.
```
<TouchableOpacity onPress={...}>
<View style={...}>
...
</View>
</TouchableOpacity>
-->
<TouchableOpacity onPress={...} style={...}>
...
</TouchableOpacity>
```
If the child is an Image or Text, on all the examples at Facebook it worked without any change. But it is a great idea to double check them anyway.
